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'll wear that as a badge of honor, I'm positive the Lord would consider that to be a blessing.

GOD would prefer you were hot or cold, but lukewarm gets spit out of his mouth.

I stated it was implied and you had nothing to add to it, So I guess by winning I lose. I'll take it.

Really? I grew up Catholic and then I found the true GOD, but if you want to believe that by all means go ahead. It's not like anyone throughout time has ever willingly converted.

Add to what? The Constitution? You don't get to add to it. That's the whole point.

No it's not, there are very different scriptures between the two.

That's cool. I'm laughing too. At your intellectual dishonesty. You're making yourself look like a fool here. The Constitution clearly states that power comes from the people. It's one of the building blocks of our country. You are willing to throw that under the bus because you can't stand admitting that your own personal religious beliefs have no more validity in our legal system than the religious beliefs of others. You are the kind of person that the Constitution was designed to protect me from.
