Beck: Sometimes God Really Sucks

[dirk digler]

I am sure God cares as much as who is POTUS as who wins a football game

Conservative radio host Glenn Beck on Wednesday declared that Mitt Romney’s loss to President Barack Obama proved that “sometimes God really sucks.”

As it was becoming apparently that the president was going to be re-elected on Tuesday, Beck had told a panel on his Blaze TV network that “the body of America is even sicker than I thought it was.”

“Twelve years ago, I could say with real assurance that I knew who Americans were,” he explained. “And I can’t say that any more.”

During his radio show the next morning, Beck told listeners that he had realized Romney was going to lose while praying before the polls opened on Tuesday.

“Man, sometimes God really sucks,” the radio host lamented. “I got up yesterday at 3:00 in the morning and I knew. And I couldn’t sleep and I started to say my prayers and I got up and kneeled down by the edge of my bed and I knew that — or I suspected that my mind’s not God’s mind, and the peace and the comfort that he had given me and so many of my friends was not about an election.”

He added: “Just like those Christians that rolled up the Dead Sea Scrolls and put them in pots. I don’t know what happened to those Christians but they hid them. They hid them and they preserved them because it was important. The Bible was never wiped out, but the people who originally wrote the Bible were scattered.”

But in the weeks leading up to Tuesday’s election, Beck had repeatedly said that God was orchestrating Republican nominee’s path to the presidency.

Speaking to his radio listeners in September, he insisted that Romney’s poll numbers had fallen as a part of a plan from God to make it obvious to the American people that divine intervention was responsible when Republicans took the White House in November.

The conservative radio host later speculated that Romney had lost the final debate because he was “being guided” by God to be “less contentious” and agree with President Barack Obama.

I guess that makes it ok?

...and it's prolly a good thing we don't govern Africa., considering we've killed fifty million of our own, and the left entrenches believers in God as the oppostion to the genocide.

nope, no persecution here.

The Book of Esther doesn't mention GOD either, so that's not divinely inspired either eh? I guess to a dragon speaker probably not.

You edited your post, I see, which is fine.

errr.....I don't really care about the number of people exported from Africa. What does that have to do with anything?

If you're saying American was blessed from its founding, I'm saying that's hard to believe unless you think God is cool with slavery, murdering and displacing Native Americans, and wars of expansion. What we like to call "Manifest Destiny" some might call something far less kind.

We're talking about how religion affects politics in America, and why your religious beliefs have nothing to do with how our government works.

Wake up, it doesn't say "under God." That's the preamble to the Constitution.

Not remotely important to anything I'm talking about.

It is implied.

My point is that it's hard to figure we were blessed when we had millions of humans in slavery. That number may have been 400,000 at one point, obviously. Actually it started at 1, presumably, but by 1860 it was about 3.5 million.

And murdering/displacing Native Americans, and wars of conquest to expand our territory. I guess those were signs of our blessings, just like the Spanish Conquistadors were blessed by God to go forth and crush the savages and take their gold?
