Help from the Other Side?

Everywhere you turn, there's another news story that suggests God is getting beat down.

From the porn movie broadcast at the University of Maryland, to the 10 Commandments being removed from government property, to redefining what a marriage is. There was even criticism of Rick Warren's prayer at Obama's inauguration (how dare he mention Jesus!).

You'd think that all of America had come to the same conclusion--God isn't.

Despite this, Americans have this fascination with the spiritual? It's everywhere; not just on Oprah.

Ghost Town - a jerk dentist survives a near-death experience and see ghosts.

Ghost Whisperer - Jennifer Love Hewitt's character aids troubled spirits.

Supernatural - two brothers hunting demons.

Medium - Allison Dubois helps the police solve murders through visions and contact with the dead. Interestingly, this week, she concludes that her gift was given to her by God.

We could go on (Touched by an Angel, Joan of Arcadia, Ghost, The Others, Sixth Sense, A Haunting in Connecticut, The Gift), but you get my point!

Oh, there's also a great book on the supernatural. It's called the Bible. It's author might know something about this subject.

Now, the story it tells doesn't read anything like what we're getting from Hollywood.

But, hey, if you think Hollywood has a bead on all things spiritual, I've got a bridge in New York I want to sell you.

It might make your head spin--but probably not 360 degrees.
