Nobody's doing me any favors, except the family and friends I make. I don't give credit to people that may not even exist, and I don't fear judgement from someone who doesn't know how to differentiate himself from every other mythology in the world. If the devil managed to screw the world up so much that in the end only a minority will get to where Yahweh actually wants them to be, i think we know who the smart one is.
This Christian road is not an easy one. I too sat on the fence and when you decide to come down and set yourself on a new path, then you see who your real friends are....The first ones that go are your family and friends. It also depends on what you do once you become aware that God does exist...The immediate manifestation is the knowledge that overnight you are a new creation. But nothing is easy....This when the battle begins...The battle begins with your old self and your new self - It is both exciting and confusing. Suddenly out of nowhere you start coming under attack at night - Again this is normal. You new path is fraught with many snares...You will be ridiculed, laughed at etc. The very first thing that will go (And you can test this) is that you stop swearing or is diminished to a point that when you do, you feel uncomfortable....Its difficult to describe but a process of inner cleansing takes place and your inner circle will most certainly witness the change. Some will embrace it, while others will turn their backs on you....Either way they will know that something exceptional/different is now present in you. Some new Christians think that they can move mountains....For me it was about changing the small things...Mother Teresa once said "Not all of us can do great things. But we can all do small things with great love"...This is exactly the way I feel about my own conversion....I too had the bells and whistles but in the daily walk its the light that emanates from you as you do the small things, with great love...May God bless you and give you strength in your journey

Took me a year to realize my language was peppered with poo...
Oh and Pizz, numerical significances are a bit like clues, it isn't like the occult.
Someone probably noticed the many biblical repeats of the number 40 and realized it obviously meant "Testing".
The number 8- the # of new beginnings, could be noticed with Noah's experience, I understand the City of Eight is still in Turkey.
8 people began anew.
A week is completed after 7 days- the next day #8, begins another.
And so it goes.

These numerical significances are found in the bible.
This is not gematria, which Hebrew letters have a corresponding number value.
What it indicates is the person who is number 44 - in the place where he is, is actually a judgement on the world.
He will bring much more evil than he has so far.
The world wanted him and him the world got him, he promised Change, without specifying the kind of change.
Tie your bonnet on good. I still don't quite understand how to apply this conclusion. Is it only applicable to American presidents?

No, of course it isn't only applicable to BHO.
However, added to all the other clues about him, it is just frosting on the cake.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Barack Hussein Obama's initials are BHO.

Which is an anagram of HBO. Which stands for Home Box Office. Home Box Office is an anagram for Homo Bi Exec Off. Clearly, Obama is a gay man buying off execs, but to what end? Obama is an anagram of Boa Ma, so it must be obvious that he's buying off execs in order to benefit his reptillian, snake-like mother. You know who else is reptillian? The Illuminati. Obama is in the Illuminati, confirmed.

For the megachurch pastors, it's probably along these lines:
