Wertbag Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I'm always amazed at people who will tell you what God wants and thinks. "God wants America to succeed" or "God wants abortion to stop", its the ultimate claim to authority fallacy. He is not stepping in to fix or change anything, and its always a case that God must want exactly what I want. Shouldn't we be saying God hasn't struck down abortion doctors therefore He has made His choice clear? 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If god wants this so bad, why does he leave it to fallible humans to make it happen? Why doesn’t He do it himself? He’s all powerful, right? Where is his “hand” in all this? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't we be saying God hasn't struck down abortion doctors therefore He has made His choice clear? Oh yeah, all of that is easy to explain. God talks to Christians and gives them direct instructions and commands. God's ways are not our ways, don't cha know? God could do all of those things, but he prefers to leave the heavy lifting to his loyal followers. I've been considering the possibility that I never was a Christian, because God never talked to me. If He had I'm pretty sure I'd still be a Christian. Oh yeah, it's probably best not to tell the lady that Thomas Jefferson wasn't a Christian,...and (gasp!) He owned slaves and actually fathered children with them! God cannot be happy about that. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would probably really be a shock to her is the Jefferson Bible, in which Thomas Jefferson pasted together his own version of the Gospels, leaving out ALL of the miracles. Gasp! In reality, though, there's not much chance of getting through to people who think like Deborah. They rewrite history to serve their agenda and nothing will change their minds, no matter how much you point out the Establishment Clause, the Separation of Church & State, or the fact that many of the founding fathers were actually deists rather than Christians. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Senate majority is Republicans, and Republicans are the instruments of God's will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midniterider Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I think it would be interesting to see how happy Political Party A would be once they got rid of all of Political Party B from elected office permanently. What do you bet that , not too long after the novelty wore off from the big 'purge', that people (who put way too much stock in politics/politician worship) would come to be just as miserable and angry about the party they called their own for so long as the 'hated' party they got rid of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Moderator buffettphan Posted January 4, 2019 Super Moderator Share Posted January 4, 2019 Just a heads up. If this thread gets "political" I will have no choice but to move it to TOT. Can't have anyone's eyes burned or feelings hurt. So keep the conversation general. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midniterider Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Isaiah 45:7: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things. Obviously when God created light and peace he was talking about the USA Political Party I Like, in 2019. So it follows that when God created darkness and evil, he was talking about the USA Political Party I Don't Like, in 2019. Why do Christians give a shit about politics? I thought they were just passing through. In the world, but not 'of' it. Seems like they need to "let go and let God..." lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
