of faith faith faith first . it's so. far off a fox. and here and there what i'm looking at would only have learned that you know the web video that you're feeling is a lot of they were doing evil and they think when i let my daughter said i'm on the ellis act. believe me i will say i'm going to have a belief deal with the masses and the simeone isn't a. going to set a set of us the set i'll know but on us when you start to america leave me out of those uncertainties international competition is intense companies from france south korea japan they all want to get into all these most elemental and you probably easier to get as upset about the deal than in idea of a celeb it was doing so important about libya that it does this right libya could be the saudi arabia of the twenty first century. and. you know you can say well you let me go play this little these days yet they give us the right if you're not. i think it is you know i don't think we'll get a lot that's really. going to louisville so. according to. you know i can't decide. if w

it was a weekend faith, not a daily kind of faith, the faith that's growing in this country and throughout the world is the kind of faithe kind of faith that as christ says you defy yourself take up your cross and follow him. that's the kind of faith and particularly the christianity that's growing throughout the world even in places like china. [ applause ] don't be discouraged by people who tell you that you should stay quiet because your religion and faith is dying out anyway. it's not. >> when you said religious -- >> not catholic nunns. sorry. nones. sorry for the confusion there. >> great point. the other thing i worry about, this is especially true with young people, is that they see the world as being unfriendly to their faith and they want to pull out of that and you know, into their own communities. there's a large movement within conservatism to do this. i think that's problematic as well. as i like to tell my friends, you might not be interested in government, but government is always interested in you. >> yes. >> that's the problem. >> right. >> so i think we need to not only encourage people to express the

faith or what happened? >>> i grew up in a non-religious household. my parents were incredibly supportive of my exploring different religious faith and traditions. >> laura: i'm curious, were you raised in any faith or just not raised in a faithwas raised to explore other faith but my house hold didn't have a faith. i've attended a number of christian services, jewish services, i've had lessons of faith explained it me my friends and been taught many tenants of faith and i sincerely support people's attempts. >> laura: it's the outward manifestation on anything that is city, town, or federally owned? like if there was a -- let's say arlington accept me terry has a cross etched on its sign but it's on the sign approaching arlington. let's just say for arguments sake that existed. would your association think that was tantamount to an establishment clause violation? our founders would have thought that was an establishment of religion? would they believe that, i would like to talk about the establishment clause issue that is at play here. >> laura: it's now we get to -- like 50 years ago if you would have told people that people would be arguing over the cross, 20 years ago probably wouldn't have thought. we have to go from her

faith and charity. faith, hope, and charity. because people have faith they believe, and they believe in god, they believe in themselves, they believe in the goodness of others, the charity of others it , gives them hope. so faith is the strength, has always been the strength of our country. and it is also a country full of love. i believe america's heart is full of love, that the american people care about each other and believe, as many of us do, certainly all in this room, that we are all god's children. there's a spark of divinity that exists inside of each of us. at the border, in each of us including ourselves. , and we have an obligation to treat people with respect, but we have a responsibility with that spark of our own to act upon it. when people talk about gospel of matthew as being an inspiration to so many of us when i was , hungry, you fed me. when i was naked you clothed me. when i was homeless you sheltered me. when i was in prison you visited me. i always want to remind them that the rest of that gospel is the converse. when i was hungry, you didn't feed me. see, because at that stage god separates people. when i was hungry, you fed me. when i was hungry, you didn't feed me. when i was homeless

the catholic church is based on the idea of faith, faith in god and also faith in the church's clericsly weakened by the abuse scandal. —— trust in churchmen. for years, these — the victims of clerical sexual abuse — felt ignored by a church which covered up their abusers' crimes. this week they've come here to the vatican to demand that this conference takes real action. this morning, cardinals and bishops arrived quietly. the catholic church takes its biggest decisions when its most senior officials are summoned into one room. almost six years after a conclave picked francis as pope, the pontiff has asked this group to stop and reflect. translation: together we might listen to the holy spirit and listen calmly to his guidance, to hear the cry of the little ones who plead for justice. in the opening session the pope's closest allies occasionally found themselves overwhelmed. the wounds of the recent cries carry the memory of innocent suffering, but they also carry the memory of our weakness and sinfulness. peter saunders, an abuse victim who has tried to work with the vatican, calls o

that's been due to the people's faith in god, their faith in the fatima, and the faith in their prophet, and the faith in their leader. they're united. they will support the leadership. and we will undoubtedly emerge victorious in the face of this issue, and people have certain problems in their daily lives, but we will overcome these difficulties, and the situation, in this region is much better than what the americans thought. and our status will be further promoted. we will overcome the difficulties. and my last word of this gathering is that our ideal today is the ideal that we pursued 40 years ago. we replaced dictatorship with freedom. we replaced colonialism with national sovereign ty. we replaced corruption with virtues. and we replaced discrimination with justice. we replaced tendencies to the east or the west with iranian and islamic identity. and we replaced extravagance with moderation. today, we are pursuing the very same ideals, and we will undoubtedly emerge victorious. i thank the great nation of iran for their presence and participation in the rallies today, despite the rainy weather

veterans of many faiths or no faith call maryland home in veterans of many faith and no faith foughtnd died for the country. pastime to honor them. is there a compromise? a way that everyone can be happy? >> not that i know of. i will let kevin speak for the american legion but these are people with the problem with this memorial that would has been a 400 years. the arguments would apply to memorials across the country, pretty much in every community of every state. arlington is a few miles away and they are not correct, the founders never would have intended this hostility to go on and to tear down memorials. to see the memorial, they can go to first liberty.org and look at the brief. and to the side of the american legion. >> i see that cross. i love the cross but want to be inclusive of everyone. look at that cross and those who erected it, they lost their son. those who died in world war i, those who came before us and make the country so great, thanks for being with us and let us know how this goes today. we are an hour away from donald trump's second face-to-face meeting with k

faith. faith in the program and its people. faith in the hardware and the astronauts. and faith that we could rise to meet the challenge of a young president who would not be there to complete the journey with us. and it would all play out live on television at christmas. nasa had told commander frank borman that the crew of apollo eight would have the largest audience that ever listened to a human voice. the only instruction was, do something appropriate. and so, on christmas eve, our first envoy to another world, read the story of creation from the book of genesis. although the first flight to the moon was undertaken by americans in the year 1968, the crew understood that they were speaking to and for all the people of the world. and they knew that their words would echo far into the future. this was the start of something new. so they returned to the very beginning. and estimated 1 billion people saw the broadcast. to date myself, i was only seven years old at the time. but naturally, my parents let my sister and i stay up to watch. humans had never traveled so far from home

, dare i use the language of faith, conversion to the gospel of faith, conversion to the gospel ofjesus christ of faith, conversion to the gospel of jesus christ and of faithe obviously wants us to be and which we have failed to be, lamentably, in this area of child protection. why should we have any hope that things are going to improve? as a believer, my answer is because of easter i sense in the pope and in all the bishops, a real determination whatever their cultural setting may be, a real determination to understand what has happened, why it has happened and to act together, not in isolation or fragmentation but to act together. i say in the power of the gospel, to eliminate abuse from the church and to make sure there is a church which is transparent, accountable, inclusive and the words that pope francis uses, a church which is a loving mother, which we have so potently failed to be. products high in salt and saturated fats are being marketed as healthy by leading supermarkets according to an investigation by bbc radio 5 live. sainsbury s and tesco have promised to change their labelling and say they are committed to "promoting healthy eating". the

that has been due to the people's faith in god, their faith in the profit, and their faith in the leader. they are united. they will support the leadership. we will undoubtedly emerge victorious in the face of this have certainple problems in their daily lives, but we will overcome these and the situation in this region is much better than what the americans thought, and our status will be further promoted. we will overcome the difficulty. and my last word at this idealing is that our today is the ideal we pursued 40 years ago. we replaced dictatorship with freedom. we replaced colonialism with national sovereignty. we replaced corruption with virtues and we replaced discrimination with justice. and we replaced extravagance with moderation. today we are pursuing the very same ideals and we will undoubtedly emerge victorious. thank the great nation of iran for their presence and participation in the rally today despite the rainy weather and indicatesher and this their allegiance with the leadership. >> from the hill, house and senate negotiators said they reached an agreement in principle

little faith in thejudicial that the public have very little faith in the judicial system. that the public have very little faith in thejudicial system. many of my colleagues have very little faithd technology to be used asa this very good technology to be used as a cost saving exercise and to be used to prevent putting people in prison who should be in prison. it isa prison who should be in prison. it is a great addition to the toe box that we have two track offenders and get evidence to put them away but it should not be an alternative to putting those who deserve to be in prison in prison. thank you. a planned visit by the chancellor, philip hammond, to china next week is no longer going ahead. the move follows reports china was angered by a speech this week in which the defence secretary, gavin williamson, signalled the uk s intention to send an aircraft carrier to the pacific. a spokesman for the treasury said the visit was never confirmed or announced. lady falkender, who was political secretary to the former prime minister harold wilson, has died at the age of 86. formerly known as marcia williams, she was a controversial and influentialfigure. she was the former labour p

faiths in my city came together. muslims, christian, and jew, because an attack on one faith is an attack on all faith and all people of all faiththe chicago i know. if you want to get paid more, get an agent. but don't use your sexual orientation, don't use your race, and have everybody's sympathies come to you and it turns out none of that was true. and some young man in school is going to be attacked. somebody at work is going to face discrimination. and everybody now is going to have two doubts about whether that is true. >> you mentioned the police department. and i just want to go through what the superintendent and others laid out in painstaking detail of the police work that went into piecing together everything that happened. listen to this and then we'll discuss. >> we interviewed over 100 individuals in a canvas of the area and a followup canvass as our investigation expanded. >> defendant smollett further detailed that he wanted abel to attack him but not hurt him too badly and to give him a chance to appear to fight back. defendant smollett also included that he wanted ola to place a rope around his neck, pour gasol

faith teaches me, as i said yesterday, that that which we do unto the least of us, we do unto us. and it is not simply my faith tradition that teaches me, it is every faith tradition. and those who do not come at it from a faith tradition. it is what we call a universal value, but it is a universal value that is on the chopping block. that is why you are sitting here on a saturday, and a friday, and a thursday. it's why you have got some people who are in session in their state legislatures, who took time out to come here to participate, at your own expense, because our democracy is indeed on fire. it continues to be a five-alarm blaze and folks, we can put it out, we can put it out when we recognize again that we must never conflate unity and unanimity. i'm not asking you to agree with everything in my platform or the democratic party platform, but when we recognize, as speaker pelosi so deftly does, and so many others as well, leader schumer, that what unites us far outweighs our differences, and what our differences are as it relates to the republicans are 100%. we believe climate change is real, we are debating how to deal with it. they don't believe it is real. we believe that health care care is a right

faith? >> i was raised to explore other faiths but my house did not have a religious faith growing up. i attended a number of christian and jewish services and had lessons of faitho me by friends. >> laura: it's the outward manifestation of anything that is city, town or federally owned? let's say the arlington cemetery had a sign, would they believe that was a establishment of religion? >> i would like to talk about the issue at hand here. >> laura: 50 years ago if you told people that people would be arguing over the cross, that's what we are arguing about. we have to go from here to in god we trust on the coins. we have slipped down the slope. that's why people are concerned. whether you are christian or not anything or jewish or muslim, the manifestation of public faith gets groups like yours, it affects you deeply. >> it's the government endorsement of that faith. >> laura: you think this is the establishing a religion under the first amendment? do you think that's tantamount to the government establishing religion? >> a government spending over $100,000 to maintain a specific religious symbol is clearly a violation. >> laura: thanks for coming on. now on t

believing in faith having faith that your god tells you to do something and doing terrible deeds like suicide bombing like flying planes into into skyscrapers the vast majority of people of faithon't do such terrible things but those people who do terrible things do it believing that they are righteous and good and they think that they're doing the will of their god so they are they're not evil people are actually good people by the.

this is an institution based on the idea of faith, faith in god, but it is faith in priests, faith inhey say the church‘s secret structures, priests being shuffled from place to place and the church protecting its own is what led to the crisis and that has to change from their point of view. james reynolds reporting from the vatican. you‘re watching breakfast from bbc news. still to come ? we ll have the weather and sport. and later we ll be talking to the forensic scientist angela gallop ? she s worked on some of the biggest murder investigations of the last few decades and she s now written a book about it. hello there. for much of this month, we‘ve been talking about above average temperatures, and the mild theme continues over the next few days. though there will be quite a bit of cloud around through the day today, many areas will start to brighten up heading to the afternoon. so we are drawing up this mild air on the south—westerly wind, and if we follow that back the source is the caribbean. it has cooled down a bit though as it worked across the atlantic, but it‘s helping to b

faith and trust. faithful catholics in god, but that faith in clerics, the trust in clerics, the trust that they will be able to go about their jobs without being hidden if they are criminals, is something a lot of survivors no question. and the rebuilding of faithtrust will take a long time. notjust survivors, but others who have seen what has happened and who have had their trust in the church shaken. can that trust be rebuilt? it is something we know it is notjust with the vatican, but with any other institution that has had to face up to its own legacy of child abuse and the answer is really trust takes a long time to repair. it is quickly broken but it may take years for any institution to be able to prove not just to survivors, but to onlookers and others who have stayed in such institutions, that they are able to have these processes. to have these processes. west midlands police says a murder investigation has been launched after a 16—year—old boy was stabbed to death in birmingham. police officers were called to herbert road in the small heath area of the city, at around 8 o'clock last night. another 15—year—old boy suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene. a man has been charged after "no blacks" was painted over the home o

faith. in the military we need our faith, not only to strengthen us in battle, but we need our faith to guide us to do what is right. we need you to use your faith to guide you to do what is right. if you are approaching climate change or -- as a partisan political issue, your faith is leading you astray. we, the american people, need you to have courage to do what is right. it is your courage, it is your courage, it is your courage that can put our country and the world on the path of solving climate change. in the words of dr. martin luther king jr., we must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools. thank you and may god be with you and with us all. >> mr. holly, the floor is yours, sir. >> greetings, chairman, and members of the committee. thank you for the opportunity to speak. my name is derek holly, president of regent america, an organization to address social impact issues impacting in the african-american community. we are based on what makes sense for a more united america. one of the issues we do the most work on is addressing and reducing energy poverty. what is energy poverty? energy poverty exists when low inc

notjust men and women you are looking at, also people with many different faiths or even no faith at all. indeed, and thatis even no faith ashamed to be a christian, but i wouldn't have much to do if! christian, but i wouldn't have much to do if ijust restricted myself to churchgoing soldiers, yes. and where do you think the future lies for the role of chaplain? you see less active service perhaps with british armed forces being less engaged overseas? that's true. the army itself is asking what the future of wa rfa re itself is asking what the future of warfare looks like at the same time, so warfare looks like at the same time, so the role of chaplaincy is is running parallel to that. there will be changes. some things don't change. and also i imagine some people who leave the army probably need you more at that point than they ever have before. in america, they ever have before. in america, the veterans have their own padre, we don't have that set up here but it could be a development. that seems to make sense, thank you very much for coming and talking to us this morning. my pleasure. you are watching bbc breakfast. i

faith in large institutions. we're paddling against the current in trying to sustain faith -- public faith in the fed. there's my answer to your first question. >> now we have an online uestion from francies at cordova high school. given the actions by the fed -- do you prioritize where you focus your actions? chairman powell: our -- when we do -- monetary policy affects the whole economy and it doesn't target one industry or other industry. if that's the question. when we change interest rates they change for everyone. we change the federal funds rate, and other short-term interest rates and the economy move. other long-term interest rates and the economy move and that has an effect over time. we don't target particular segments of the economy. we don't have that. we have monetary policy is a blunt but powerful instrument. we don't actually have the ability or job of saying let's help thistry or that industry. that's not our -- this industry or that industry. that's not our job. one of the things, we have a very specific mission from congress. we have this brand of independence which is rare, appropr

faith. it favored christian inmates by allowing their faith leader by nobody else of any other faith. the federal appeals court agreed, or at least they stayed that execution so they could consider it. that happened on wednesday of this week, two days ago but lawyers for the state of alabama filed an emergency petition asking the u.s. supreme court to step in and let the execution move forward and last night in a 5-4 decision they did that. the justices voted to let the execution go forward as planned. justi justice kagan wrote a three-page descent quoting from that. she says this court -- excuse me, today this court reverses that decision as an abuse of discretion and permits mr. ray's execution to go forward. given the gravity of this situation, that decision profoundly wrong. the clearest command of the establishment clause this court has held is that one religious denomination cannot be officially preferred over another but the state's policy does just that. under that policy a christian prisoner may have a minister of his faith accompany him to the execution chamber to say his last rights but whether islam, judaism or any other, he may not die with a minister of his faith by his side. that treatment goes against the establishment clause's core principle of denomination neutrality. dominique ray was executed in alabama at 10:12 p.m. without his spiritual advisor. could have had a chaplain because only christians get their faith leader and last night the supreme court blessed that. joining us is senior editor and legal correspondent of slate.com. thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me. >> i i'm n'm not a lawyer. i don't know anything about the law. this strikes me as third grade level outrageous. like a third grader learning about the constitution and the establishment clause and not being an official religion in the united states and no discrimination allowed on the basis of faith, you would invent this as a case to show. >> i have to say nothing shocks me, really. this shocked me. this is stoma

faith is one of the world's great evils comparable to the smallpox virus virus but harder to eradicate i do think that yes. because what i'm talking about there is faith. where faith means belief in something without evidence because if you believe something without evidence then that justifies anything you're no longer vulnerable to somebody coming back at you and saying hang on a minute let me argue the case if you believe it without evidence which is what faith is then you don't argue the case you say no i'm not arguing that case this is my faith it's mine it's private i don't despair i don't dissent from it i don't retreat from it you're just going to have to accept it now that is evil and yet you spend so much of your time debating people of faith so clearly people of faith are interested in having discussions they're not just all blind believers insisting on their way of nobody said anything about all of them i mean the vast majority of religious people are perfectly good nice people. as you are there's no suggestion i've ever made that all religious people are evil of course not there is a logical progression that goes from believing in faith having faith that your god tells you to do something and doing terrible deeds like suicide bombing like flying planes into into skyscrapers the vast majority of people of faith don't do such terrible things but those people who do terrible things do it believing that they are righteous and good and

or protestant faith no but i'm spiritual yes very spiritual person but i don't follow a specific faith i think it's all a bit. i'm of the belief that if someone follows a particular faithand it's good for them and it comforts them that's fine and you should just a low people to do that. at least one would look you know. as if he was eat for a bit where in. the venue months. in d.c. in the. least well you know it comes from somewhere doesn't you know when you're creating songs and you guys and or you rate this song while we're did this come from you know and nobody really knows. who to move men. and then feed in the sleeve and got this artist to start with of the art of the south so it's really like i was a. visitor the illusion of the main effect of. the course is a home to us as americans a government conference to another couple you know a couple. dozen obviously. we were at least in charge of convention hard enough as i saw one. of the real rocks from songwriting doesn't come out of here clown listens with his magic moments song and steeds. and says god is leaving this company. see above us because our magic moment is that's most of it i think is one . for my health

faith. it favored christian inmates by allowing them to have their faith leader with them but nobody else of any other faith. the federal appeals court agreed, at least they staid that execution so they could consider it. that happened on wednesday eyes this week, two days ago. lawyers for the state of alabama filed an emergency petition asking the u.s. supreme court to step in, specifically to let the execution move forward, and last night in a 5-4 decision they did that. the justices on the u.s. supreme court voted to let that execution go forward as planned. justice elena kagan wrote a blistering very short three-page dissent. quoting from that, she says, quote, this court -- excuse me. quote, today, this court reverses that decision and permits mr. ray's execution to go forward. given the gravity of the issue here, i find that profoundly wrong. is that one religious denomination cannot be officially preferred over another. but the state's policy does just that. under that policy, a christian prisoner may have a minister of his own faithim to the execution chamber to say his last rights, but if an inmate practices a different religion, whether islam, judaism or any other, he may not die with a minister of his own faith by his side. that treatment goes against the establishment clause's core principle of denominational neutrality. that dissent from elena kagan in the supreme court last night. dominique ray was executed by lethal injection in alabama at 10:12 p.m. without his imam in the execution chamber. could have had a chaplain, though, because only christians get their faith leader there. and last night the suspect blessed that. it was alabama's first execution of 2019. joining us now is the senior editor and legal cooperate at slate.com. dalia, thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me. >> i'm not a lawyer. i don't know anything about the law. all i do is talk about it on the news. this strikes me as third grade level outrageous. like a third grader learning about the constitution and the establishment

faith coalition that every thanksgiving on the tuesday evening before thanksgiving, we have an inter-faith service where we celebrate all faiths. and i think as much as talking back when it happens, it's important to fill the space when nothing is happening. when the tree of life shooting happened, we also had another inter-faith ceremony in our community to show that when you attack one, you attack all. there is no difference. we don't just talk about it. we act on it. i'm a catholic. i went to a ceremony because i wanted to show i wouldn't be afraid. we need to always step up. our actions speak louder than our words. when our actions don't mirror our words, our words mean nothing. it's also just in our day to day lives. when we hear people saying things that are wrong, call them out. it can be done nicely. it needs to be said. we also have an active lgbtq group that's coming in and will be doing free training with our staff on just being a little more aware of how they interact with others. i keep going back to mayor fisher with the compassionate cities. if we take up all the space and we make sure everything we do is done with purpose and done with compassion, we're living what the example that we want to see.

protestant faith no but i'm spiritual yes very spiritual person but i don't follow a specific faith i think it's all a bit you know it's i'm of the belief that if if someone follows a particular faith and it's good for them and it comforts them that's fine and you should just a low people to do that in the us come on at least one would look at it doesn't he so i just he was eat with it when. you can about if indeed the venue money. then the zener of least well you know it comes from somewhere doesn't it you know when you creating songs and you guys and or you write this song while we're did this come from you know and nobody really knows. guten moment. my view on that and then feed in the sleeve and got this artist starts with of the audience are so serious like i was a. visitor the illusion of the main effect was. going to go because as a. consequence for a conference or another couple you know. dozens obviously or. convention how dozens or so or. other media from songwriting does this much more come out of here clown lessons with his magic moments of an awesome song and. god is leaving us coming to. see above us because our magic moment is this must have done it. for my health we

faith defense to section 1983 in germ or to first amendment cases in particular. the good faith defense issue gets complicated because five courts have said good faith is detriment to some. given my opinion. the united states have argued, no. there is a germ defense available to any defendant if it was constitutional at the time they are not on the hook. with that issue being raised, you will get decisions all over the board and work their way up to the a.m. ate court and eventually to the supreme court. assuming one of these cases makes it to the supreme court, what the court rules would be dispositive in all of these cases. we'll see how it turns out. >> one other question and this ay prevail if want to weigh on it. justice alito on, a designated union as the employee's representative substantially restriggets the rights of individual employees and he said that the idea of public sector unionization and agency fees would astound those who framed the bill of rights. that is pretty strong rights that garnered five votes. do you think that subsequent litigation -- the decision might impact exclusive bargaining rights more generally? >> my answer is that i hope so and we'll soon find out. there are cases pending including at the supreme court. starting about the 2,000's the united states came up with the idea who unionize individuals who are public employees, medicaid providers who provide home base care and child care services in their home and get state subsidies. and what the unions did in california and illinois is have them declared to be public employees solely for purposes of unionization and no purposes of otherwise and started to take union dues. hey received from the state. no you can't force those individuals to pay union dues. the second wave of cases says you can't unionize them. you can't force these individuals to accept an exclusive representative. for those who don't know what it means, the government is designating the union as the individual sole voice for speaking with the government over certain topics. authorized to speak for the individuals and enter into contracts on their behalf even if they oppose it. a union can waive an individual's rights through collective bargaining. a union agreed to waive an individual's rights to bring claims in court by saying they had to go to arbitration. the union did it on your behalf. exclusive representation prevents an individual from speaking individually on their behalf because the employer can only listen to the union and exclusive representation compels the government or the employer to only deal with the union and bargain in good faith with the union. there is a case before the supreme court that says it should be unconstitutional under . e first amendment to stepped that irrespective permissible unemployment no compelling outside of that interest. there is a question of any sort of feeling on exclusive representation. does the government have the authority to basically unionize anyone it wants to for any reason. is there some sort of constitutional limiting principle. the line in janus that exclusive on associational freedoms that would not be tolerated and if that other context is the unionization of these nonemployees. there is the question of is unionization of the public sector permissible, even of true government employees. there are a number of cases, international there is six, exclusive representation of public sector employees and employees cannot be forced to accept an agent in dealing with he government. >> i don't know how much fruit it's bearing but it's deadlines. if the unions are claiming you have t

faith is. if i -- you're a seminary grad so if i said, what is faith, you'd probably say hope or trust or something. and their answer is that faith is a spiritual power. that every believer is given. if they think positively and speak positively, you unleash those forces that bring things into being. they look for that in wealth and in their body. in health and wealth to figure out if their faith is working. and so because of that, any -- any, you know, setback is a setup. >> there's a lot of those. >> there's only lessons. this is life is a kind of obstacle course and if you do it with cheerfulness and joy, god will always work it out for you. and then there's less overtly religious versions like all my adorable hippy friends who were immediately friends i had not eaten kale or sufficiently taken my essential oils or -- >> you ate too much sugar or th that rice crispy treat. >> it's the blame game. not to be trite but when someone experiences, they're close to someone suffering, they do that inventory. was it in your family? i wonder what environmental reasons they can think of so they're always wondering, why you and not me? the result is quite cruel because it expects that i'm supposed to learn from this lesson and somehow accept that this was supposed to be my pain, my suffering, my fate. and all i wanted was to just reach back through that plexiglass that went up the seco
