Scott Walker: “God was sending me a clear message to not do things for personal glory or fame”

I present for your reading eyes an excerpt from Scott Walker’s upcoming book which I have lifted from an article by Weigel in Slate. In this passage, Walker is describing how God spoke to him after he fell for Ian Murphy’s prank “David Koch” call:

“Only later did I realize that God had a plan for me with that episode,” writes Walker. After his press conference, he picked up his daily devotional and saw the title for Feb. 23: The power of humility, the burden of pride.

“I looked up and said, ‘I hear you, Lord,’” writes Walker. “God was sending me a clear message to not do things for personal glory or fame. It was a turning point that helped me in future challenges, helped me stay focused on the people I was elected to serve, and reminded me of God’s abundant grace and the paramount need to stay humble.”

[this next paragraph is from Weigel]
Providence gets a starring role in Walker’s memoir. Where he travels, ordinary citizens tell him to buck up. An airport worker who hands him a piece of paper reading “Isaiah 54:17,” which Walker quickly checks on his phone: “No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.” A floor manager for a TV show confides to Walker that “she and her kids got down on their knees every night and prayed for me and my family.

So what do you think: Pandering to the Evangelicals or just fucking nuts?

1. what an asswipe!

[hue]

2. So what do you think: Pandering to the Evangelicals or just fucking nuts? ANS: lots of both!!

Wanker's statement:

“God was sending me a clear message to not do things for personal glory or fame” is ironic because it cites humility as an objective but the fact that God is talking with him and giving him a "job" to do, "stay focused on the people I was elected to serve", implies that he along with Evangelical nutters who can relate to this jargon are the CHOSEN ONES!!

7. Pandering for sure

But in my trips to E WI, from the Waukasha area to the Green Bay area this type of talk will be eaten up right away in his base areas.

12. the 2 are not mutually exclusive

3. Polivangelist Scott Walker should write a book...

"How To Lie, Cheat, and Steal Your Way to Salvation"

[TRoN33]

4. I'd pick the latter over the former because...

Nuts itself wouldn't be appreciated to have any connection to Scott Walker. Nuts would rather for us to say that Scott is much more lunatic than ever. He is smart man and he know that using God's name to manipulate religiously people for their religion-based votes are much more easier than to campaign for their constitutionally-right to votes.

5. he is a pathetic

useless little worm !!!!!!

[postulater]

6. Wait a minute. Is that the same god that was talking to me?

Cuz god didn't tell me anything like what he told Walker.

[hue]

8. Really??? And what is it that god told You???

God told me Wanker will yet be indicted by the feds.

[postulater]

9. god told me that Walker failed his Bible study class and doesn't know his 10 commandments.

[hue]

10. Lol! Does this mean he's going to Hell???

[ladym55]

11. I'm always amazed at how much God supposedly directs lying weasels

Huh. He always encourages them to continue lying, stealing, and bullying. He never, never whispers anything Jesus was famous for saying like "whatever you do for the least of these" or "love one another."

Just AMAZING, I tell you. Jesus is up in heaven directing a lot of greedy, despicable white men to be greedy and despicable in his service.
