MrB wants a one-party system:
They have to be relegated to a status where they can do the rest of us no harm.jesseam wishes more church leaders took sides:
Re: So now it’s official: The Democrat party truly is GodlessSamAdams76 sees how significant this whole thing is:
I pray that Cardinal Dolan does not appear before this Godless bunch.
Most of you all are missing the point. This is another step towards communism. Like the Soviet Union and Red China before them, the Democratic Party wishes to eliminate God and the church and have the people worship the communist party leaders instead.GeorgeWashingtonsGhost would like to speak for God:
The stakes in this coming election have never been higher.
How could ANY Christian or Catholic (which includes MOST Hispanics) be a Democrat? Voting ‘Democrat’ is blasphemous.pallis knows this makes all Democrats retroactively Jihadi-Sharia Muslims!
They have deserted God for a gay Allah that approves of slaughtering infidel children in the womb. Why would anyone expect Democrats to honor a God who disagrees with everything they stand for? They hate God.sassy steel magnolia is pretty excited about the Old Testement God.
Wouldn’t want to be anywhere near that convention, that’s fer sure! He used fire from the sky to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah; He used water to flood the earth in the days of Noah; He split the Red Sea to allow Moses to lead His people across and then let the waters flow onto Pharaoh and his army...He who is the Alpha and the Omega definitely can deal with the dummy dems...
They didn't remove God in particular, they just rephrased the whole paragraph that he was mentioned in four years ago. "God-given" is a phrase, not an acknowledgement of religious affiliation. And from the speeches I watched tonight, God's still getting plenty of mentions by different speakers.
ReplyDeleteGod also sent a hurricane to Tampa. How did they rationalise that?
ReplyDeleteFreepers think they have some sort of patent on Christianity. It ain't so.
ReplyDeleteWait...does God give us everything and control our destinies, or are we supposed to rely on ourselves to pull the country up by its bootstraps? I'm confused.
ReplyDeleteFReepers basically treat God like some ill-tempered old relative with money to give away. They're worried about getting written out of the will, so they're all trying to outdo one another in brown-nosing.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I don't think any God worthy of the name is vain or stupid enough to be pleased by this behavior.
Meanwhile, the word "God" doesn't appear in the Constitution. Does this mean the Founders were godless, too? Of course not!
Funny how that works, eh?
The article alone at that link is some great, David Barton grade theocracy.
DeleteUsing Freeper logic "God" isn't in the Constitution but theoretically should be therefore in our minds it is. What happened to their literal interpretation of the Constitution?
Delete"What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
DeleteI'm still trying to wade through that wall of words, but I'm super excited to see freeper comments. It'll be the icing on a fundie cake.
DeleteA few little gems:
"Charles Darwin gave us secularism" - Epicurus, how does he work?
"It is only with the advent of Darwin and an alternative explanation for the existence of the Universe that a secular state becomes desirable. There were atheists in 1787 to be sure but they lacked a coherent scientific explanation for the existence of the Universe." - James Hutton would like a word with you.
It goes on and on, but it boils down to 'We should forgo all scientific progress of the last 250+ years (political and economic theories too). And go back to worshiping a medievil god of the gaps.'
I personally believe in a God, although he's certainly not the one the freepers seem to think exists. I don't really think God should be mentioned in a party platform, though, because plenty of Americans aren't believers.
DeleteBesides the argument being kind of preposterous in a Western democracy, that whole thing reads like a college freshman trying to pad his word count.
ReplyDeleteI hardly think "God-given" is a statement of religious faith. If people wanted it there, there was nothing wrong with putting it back. I'm honestly more concerned about the statement that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. While it's practically true, I believe our embassy should remain in Tel Aviv.
ReplyDeleteI was just trying to play up the Freeper reaction to The Return of the God

What? God returned and nobody told me? Durn, I have been Left Behind.
