Richard Abanes is an award-winning, bestselling journalist who has authored/co-authored twenty books covering world religions, cults, the occult, pop culture, and the entertainment industry. His newest volume, A New Earth, An Old Deception, is the first Christian response to the New Age spiritual teachings of Eckhart Tolle (author of A New Earth). Abanes is also a novelist, last year having released his first novel, Homeland Insecurity -- a fast-paced, action-packed thriller that revolves around domestic terrorism and racism. It is no surprise that such a novel would come from Abanes. In 1997, he received The Myers Center Award for the Study of Human Rights in North America for his "outstanding work on intolerance in North America" for his volume American Militias: Rebellion, Racism, and Religion). That same year, he also won the Evangelical Press Association's "Higher Goals In Christian Journalism Award." He has written for numerous Christian magazines, appeared on hundreds of TV/radio talk shows, and also been the guest speaker at a variety functions hosted by Biola University, Southern California Baptist University, Mensa, Cal Tech University, Calvary Chapel, Saddleback Church, and assorted Discernment Conferences throughout America.

Laughing With
By Regina Spektor
No one laughs at God in a hospital; No one laughs at God in a war.
No one’s laughing at God when they’re starving or freezing or so very poor.
No one laughs at God when the doctor calls after some routine tests.
No one’s laughing at God when it’s gotten real late,
And their kid’s not back from the party yet.
No one laughs at God when their airplane starts to uncontrollably shake.
No one’s laughing at God when they see the one they love,
Hand in hand with someone else,
And they hope that they’re mistaken.
No one laughs at God when the cops knock on their door, and they say we got some bad news, sir.
No one’s laughing at God when there’s a famine or fire or flood.
But God can be funny at a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or
Or when the crazies say He hates us; And they get so red in the head you think they’re ‘bout to choke.
God can be funny, when told he’ll give you money if you just pray the right way.
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini; Or grants
wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus . . . . God can be so
hilarious - Ha Ha. Ha Ha.
No one laughs at God in a hospital; No one laughs at God in a war.
No one’s laughing at God when they’ve lost all they’ve got, and they don’t know what for.
No one laughs at God on the day they realize that the last sight they’ll ever see is a pair of hateful eyes.
No one’s laughing at God when they’re saying their goodbyes.
But God can be funny at a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or
Or when the crazies say He hates us; And they get so red in the head you think they’re ‘bout to choke.
God can be funny, when told he’ll give you money if you just pray the right way.
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini; Or grants
wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus . . . . God can be so
hilarious.
No one laughs at God in a hospital; No one laughs at God in a war.
No one laughs at God in a hospital; No one laughs at God in a war.
No one laughing at God in hospital; No one’s laughing at God in a war.
No one’s laughing at God when they’re starving or freezing or so very poor.
No one’s laughing at God; No one’s laughing at God; No one’s laughing at God.
We’re all laughing with God
