Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy said during a radio interview on Wednesday that God has told him that the federal government needs to be disarmed.
Bundy appeared on Salt Lake City radio station KUER and elaborated on comments he made recently at a meeting of the Independent American Party in St. George, Utah.
The Salt Lake Tribune reported that Bundy said he still feels strongly about the need for sheriffs throughout the nation to take away weapons from federal law enforcement, and he said he believes God has told him as much.
"I have no idea what God wants done, but he did inspire me to have the sheriffs across the United States take away these weapons, disarm these bureaucracies, and he also gave me a little inspiration on what would happen if they didnt do that," Bundy said, according to the Tribune. "It was indicated that 'this is our chance, America, to straighten this problem up. If we dont solve this problem this way, we will face these same guns in a civil war.'"

"If we dont solve this problem this way, we will face these same guns in a civil war.'"

(5,764 posts)...if there's anyone who can offer compelling justification why we should take the claim that God exists seriously and treat that belief with respect... but then not take this seriously as a result.
I mean if you're going to believe an inscrutable all powerful supernatural entity that actually gives a crap about human affairs and periodically involves itself in them exists, and that it's mind is so far beyond yours you can never possibly fully understand it's motivations or reasoning... then what justification exists for dismissing a claim that said entity actually communicated this message to Bundy?

(14,543 posts)God told me you should take your gun, shove it up your you know where and pull the trigger. God loves you so much he wants you to join him ASAP.
Why couldn't God just make the Feds weapons disappear, if that is what he really wanted?
