[quote] SUN-TIMES STAFF ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Americans named President Obama as their No. 1 hero, followed by Jesus Christ and Martin Luther King, in a new Harris poll. Others in the top 10, in descending order, were Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Abraham Lincoln, John McCain, John F. Kennedy, Chesley Sullenberger and Mother Teresa. People were asked whom they admired enough to call their heroes. Those surveyed were not shown a list of people to choose from. The Harris Poll was conducted online among a sample of 2,634 U.S. adults by Harris Interactive. This question was first asked in a Harris Poll in 2001. In that survey Jesus Christ was the hero mentioned most often, followed by Martin Luther King, Colin Powell, John F. Kennedy and Mother Teresa. The biggest changes upwards on this list into the top 10 since 2001, apart from Barack Obama, were: — George W. Bush was rated only 19th in July 2001, when he had been president for six months, and is now number 5 on the list. — John McCain, who was not in the top 20 in 2001, is now number 7. — Chesley Sullenberger, the pilot who landed his jet safely in the Hudson River, is ranked number 9. Heroes who were in the top 10 in 2001 who have fallen sharply this year include: — Colin Powell, who was number 3 and is now number 16. — John Wayne, who was number 8 and has dropped out of the top 20. — Michael Jordan, who was number 9 and is no longer in the top 20. — Mother Teresa, who was number 5 and is now number 10.

I just want to apologize just by saying that I am sorry for the way how I acted up. I'm not like that every day in real life. I real life, I'm more of a regular everyday weird college student who likes to act like a loud stupid idiot. I do it because it shows my colors. I, however, just can't stand it when people talk smack about my Jesus. So many people think that Jesus was only a carpenter who only talked a lot and make fun of Him like He was a weak wuss. He was the greatest Man who had ever walk on this wretched world. He healed the leaper, healed the blind, healed the deaf and blind, walked on water, turned water into wine, feed the five thousand, and the most important part in the history of existence, died for our sins and overcome death. He did that for every single human being in existence. He did it so you can gain access to heaven so you can live eternally with you in the grace and mercy of His kingdom. It's a promise that He has kept then, it's a promise that He is still keeping, and it's a promise that will soon to be. And yet so many people look at this as mediocre. Jesus is the God of love, mercy, righteousness, wisdom and also the Prince of peace. He is our King and the unrighteous don't ever treat Him like that. I just can't believe that our country would rather prefer man over Jesus. I just can't think of anything worse than putting Jesus away in our lives and saying that man is better than Jesus. I just want to ask for everyone, whoever can do so, pray for a revival in our nation. Our nation has now fallen on the edge living in its own pride and sin. We just need so much prayer now for our nation to being what it use to be.
