Bachmann: Ask God To Assemble and Anoint My Campaign

Quote from AAAintheBeltway:

I would be more troubled by having naive, idealistic dreamers running things. People who imagine that they are the ones the world has been waiting for, because they are so brilliant, so wise, so progressive, so much better than everyone else in every measure. Those are the people who make dumb decisions, not committed Christians. One thing Christians know is that mankind is flawed.

Most of the leaders of our country since its inception were committed Christians who had no shame in asking for God's direction. Modern day liberals are not shy to lecture us that Christian morality requires whatever they are in favor of at the moment, typcially higher taxes and bigger government.

So naive, idealistic Christian dreamers, who imagine that they are the ones the world has been waiting for, are somehow ruled ok because they are supposed to know they are flawed !? Yeah right, that’ll work.

I can see how those Christians who think they are so brilliant, so wise, so progressive, so much better than everyone else in every measure, are going to be even worse when making dumb decisions when they are all the time imagining they at least have tacit approval from an almighty sky beast.

You’ve just excused the worst aspects of all those who ask for imaginary God’s direction. I think you should be more troubled that you hadn't perhaps noticed that.

Religion is a catchall excuse to infer justifications for wrongdoings, as you've demonstrated above.

No religion - no such excuse.
 
Its candidates like Bachmann that make me ask:

Would Americans believe it if a presidential candidate claimed he had divine right? If a candidate said that God came down and spoke to him and told him how to fix the budget and gay marriage and abortion... would people believe it?

Precisely, now line that up with the city's other metrics. Correlation, or causation?
 
Given the fact that you think all people who believe in god are idiots, and the fact that you said you believed in god for 50 years, would it be safe to say you have had your head fully up your ass for atleast fifty years of your life?

Quote from Free Thinker:

Do we really want a religious nutcase who thinks god speaks to her as president? didnt we just go through that with bush?

Bachmann called upon listeners to pray that God will give her and her husband “a special anointing on how to put our team together” for the campaign and that “He would bring those people to us.”

Honestly,

If you think atheists are full of themselves; my experience tells me otherwise.

I tend to think we are rationale; realize how inconsequential and insignificant our lives are in the grand scheme of time and place, and then (with that fact in front of us)--we don't sweat the small shit.

It is a fact that politicians that lean on both sides of the pendulum tend to be narcissistic little pimps that believe their sphere of influence and their friends and interests are somehow/some way better or more correct than someone with a different slant on things.

With that concept firmly in front of them; they push an agenda that agrees with their (mostly) worldview/religious view.

Are you fucking kidding me!!

Is better to be powerless and sidestep this continual circus.

Why I am reading this thread!!

:confused:

peace

Michelle Bachmann use god for her agenda. And is exactly the same for Chavez. Which christian people will god help, USA or Venezuela?

“The squalid (the name given by President Chavez to opponents) are praying for no rain. But you can bet it’s going to rain, pour with rain, because God is Bolivarian”, said the president during his weekly chats broadcasted on national radio and television.

“God is no opponent, God can’t be a squalid. Nature is with us” emphasized Chavez who likes to repeat that Jesus Christ was the “first Socialist” and he openly supports the “Bolivarian revolution” implemented by his administration.

delusion is a powerful force. christians are indoctrinated to not think critically. i believed, everyone around me believed. there was no easy access to actual critical scholarship before the internet so it was not easy to become enlightened.
think about it. before the internet if a preacher stood up there and claimed there was once a flood that covered the whole earth how would you be able to validate or falsify his claim?
so, now that is is so easy to falsify the claims religion makes what is your excuse for clinging to superstitious beliefs?

So you believed Noah's ark was real until you were 50 years old? And your questioning other peoples intelligence?

I found out god wasnt real when i was about 8 years old right around the time i figured out the tooth fairy and santa were fake. I just dont feel the need to constantly belittle peoples faith to make my self feel better about my own lack of it.
