I know that it sometimes seems that this topic will never go away, but due to the excellent discussion and debate from readers on previous blogs on the site (discussion has been extended to the "Let's Discuss It Further" tab too if you want to throw your two cents in), I thought it would be interesting to get perspective from participants as to this new statement from Miss California, Carrie Prejean, as she told James Dobson (the leader of Focus on the Family) , that Satan was tempting her during the Q&A segment of the Miss USA Pageant.

James Dobson: Why did you give the answer you did with regard to the affirmation of marriage?

Carrie Prejean: Honestly, I felt as though Satan was, and I don't want to say that this person represented Satan, but I felt as though Satan was trying to tempt me, and in asking me this question. And then God was in my head and in my heart saying, "Carrie, do not compromise this. You know, you need to stand up for me."

Do you believe that God really spoke to her during the split second before she gave her answer? Do you think that Satan (and God) would use the forum of a beauty pageant to tempt (and talk) to her to get their messages spread?
