God is not an addiction because you can easily detach from faith day by day. Joe’s “relationship” with God is a fulfillment not a crutch.

Reading about Joe’s daily routine, a fifth of Jack Daniels, cocaine and a stripper, convinced me that Joe has an addictive personality. He’s substituted “god” for all the other stuff, but the “happy” neurotransmitters still plug into the same receptors. Joe, admit that you’re STILL addicted, and God is just a substitute for other stuff, and maybe you can actually kick the habit. Until them, you’re just an addict. god isn’t real, but your delusion is very real.

Jesus is the way. God saves all who turn to him.I am praying that Paul Verhoven who directed Basic Instinct repents, too! Burn your idols and permanantly turn to him who loves you eternally!!

Baring ones soul in a courageous manner is a rare thing to behold. Step by step – culminating in an obvious transformation in tone is something I admire and appreciate beyond words. Truly an inspiration.

I, too, am a little surprised at the rashness to make assessments of another person’s life, particulary based on a mere 8 minute story. Modern-day Solomons we don’t seem to be.

I thought it was an excellent testimony of God’s gift of His Holy Spirit and furthering His Kingdom. God’s “New Creation” is an awesome thing to experience.

In reading this blog, my heart hurt!How can anyone claim to love Jesus Christ & God the Father, yet continue to JUDGE their Brother? We all have stories to witness our Lord to others, this is Joe’s! Talk about being being cynical, let’s look for the PLANKS in our own eyes before we try to judge others. Again, God Bless You Joe, I’m proud to call you my Brother in Jesus!

Sorry but I meant to say the upcoming PBS documentary is probably on Rabbi Abraham J. Heschel, not Rabbi Schneerson. Sorry sorry. I am bad with names.

I am always interested in other faith’s readings of a story. I was so glad to see Rabbi David Wolpe and hear him. I believe he was also in on a video my library has, called “Who Wrote the Bible?” by A/E Home Video. I thought his impressions were very good. I also have one of his books and enjoy it alot. I hope to see him more on media that gets a wide audience. I also liked the story last year about Rabbi Schneerson on Religion and Ethics and look forward to the documentary. Maybe Rabbi Wolpe will be part of that! I hope. Otherwise, I don’t like to judge a program. This was a short segment on a conversion story and was inspiring. I would like to hear Mr. Kaulius’ further views. What do you mean by “naive interjections”? And how did Tradition play a part in someone’s life who wasn’t looking for “religion”? I guess it was tradition for G-d to act in this way. Is that what you mean?

THis testimony is inspiring. Like Saint Paul, I probably wouldn’t have put him on my prayer list. I would test his sincerity, knowing that he had nothing to lose at the bottom. What did he do withall the money he earned in his decadence. Is he still enjoying a lavish life style, earned from the profits? He shouldn’t publish his charity, but his lifestyle will speak of his sincerity. I pray that his children can adjust to their ambivalence.
