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.

otoh, he and his fellows could just change the law to what suits their particular religious preference...

until a different religion got elected that is...

but there's this first amendment thingy that gets in the way of theocratic rule, so i guess we don't really have to worry about it very much...

whew, thank god!

We get the word Judge from the word Judah.

You don't know what murder is, do you?

Yes and I would qualify killing of innocents as such, I'm sure you already knew that though..right?

It's more about what has bearing on the discussion. That's not enough to invalidate specific Constitutional law.

So...no...you don't know what murder is.

...or those pesky ten commandments on the facade of the supreme court.

"That's different..."

If life begins at conception, even if the woman didn't know it, her actions caused the death of another. That's involuntary manslaughter.

Definition

to kill or slaughter inhumanly or barbarously.

Guess I was wrong, you don't know.

So you would bring charges?

There is a huge difference between "moral" and "legal." Right and wrong does not equal legal and illegal.

Yeah, I wouldn't make a big stink about that if I were you. They'll have to take them down.

No. Nor would I call someone who's had or preformed an abortion a murderer.

Deists didn't agree with the way organized religion exploited God. Logic would say they wouldn't want God to be prominent in organized government so that God can be exploited even more.

Bringing up the founding fathers just worsens the argument for needing more religious doctrine dictating laws.

So if these babies had continued on, would they be humans with the same rights you are afforded?
