If freepers think God put Bush in the White House...

[ps1074]

What would they think after Kerry wins the election?

That God failed them? That there is no God? Or that god is now a democrat?

[rkc3]

1. They'll all move to Israel and wait for the rapture <sarcasm>.

It's nice to dream isn't it.

[hadrons]

2. it would be the all-powerful liberals fault ....

a force onto itself according to the morans

[Swede]

3. The devil did it.

Sinners everywhere.

[skypilot]

4. They'd think that God..

...and Hillary Clinton were shacking up. It would be the Clintons' fault, as always.

[flakey_foont]

14. But didn't God

put Bill Clinton in the WHite House also? He can do anything, can't He?

[skypilot]

17. No, that was Satan.

From 1992 to 2000 the liberals were holding God captive in a dark basement. That's why the '90s were so much more fun than the aughts are turning out to be.

[maxrandb]

29. Reminds me of a great bumper sticker I used to have on my '72 Nova

"I've Found Jesus...I've got him in my trunk"

[GiovanniC]

43. Another Good Bumper Sticker

"God WAS My Co-Pilot. But then we crashed into a mountain and I had to eat him."

[ProdigalJunkMail]

33. well, if they are scholars of scripture...

they will have to admit that God put Kerry there, just as well. The Bible does speak to leaders being ordained by God, for a time, to rule. If they know scripture, then they would have to admit, even the most evil rulers in the Bible were allowed to rule for a time to serve God's purposes...

[PatriotGames]

5. Interesting question. I think ther will be some soul searching there...

The extreme holy-rollers will be trying to find some excuse for it.

[Jo March]

6. They will seriously think that Satan has won

This will prove to them that evil has taken hold of the US.

[shaolinmonkey]

10. If God is all-powerful, how could he ever lose to Satan?

That has always bothered me. An all-mighty, perfect being should be infallable. Why all the evil? To teach us a lesson? I'm so confused. I should stop asking questions I guess.

[KC21304]

13. My favorite when a catastrophe occurs and someone who

survives says God was looking out for them. What does that say for those who perished ? God thought they were crap I guess.

[rkc3]

15. You never hear baseball players saying God caused them to lose

the game.

[bobbieinok]

heard in OK after 9-11.... "God protected Christians so they didn't die in

9-11"

I challenged her, but she was convinced she was right. Since she was a Chrisian, she said, she was not afraid of any terrorist attack.

[yardwork]

34. She thinks that no Christian died during 9/11?

What about all those nice firefighters? All heathens? The police too?

Seriously, somebody posted on another board recently that the only reason her husband hasn't been laid off work is because God approves of his work. I guess everybody who was laid off f*cked up in God's eyes.

Nice Christian attitude some people have. They're fundies, by the way.

[bobbieinok]

53. I tried to point this out, but she was oblivious

[Jo March]

25. Satan will exist until the final battle between good and evil

Evil exists in the world in the form of Satan. God is not trying to teach us a lesson. We all have to choose - good or evil.

It is hard to explain when you put it like that! :)

[shaolinmonkey]

26. But why allow the evil to exist?

Is God just toying with us? Does this all have to do with a snake and a piece of fruit? Why does God allow Satan to tempt his children? He played a pretty sadistic game with Job. That doesn's seem very "good" to me.

BTW, being omnipotent and omnicient is a logical impossibility.

[Zynx]

47. If Evil did not exist, people wouldn't have to chose between

voting Democrat and voting Republican. ;-)

[0007]

31. Everything is fixed and YOU can't change it

[yardwork]

32. Satan is separate but equal to the fundies

[kiahzero]

39. It's not a giant game of chess

It's an immensely complicated game of Solitare. :evilgrin:

[shaolinmonkey]

51. I like that. Can I use it? I'll give you credit.

:D

[kiahzero]

52. I lifted it from Good Omens

by Terry Prachett and Neil Gaiman. Give them the credit. And read the book - it's good.

[Lovecrafty]

16. I hope your wrong...lame ducks can hurt!!

As a lame duck with nothing left to lose, Bush will be more dangerous than ever. Remember his dad started Somalia and then left it all on Clinton's shoulders! Suppose Bush, in the months of November or December immediately following the election, really does try to speed up the Apocolypse and starts a serious war with North Korea or even CHINA!! He figures that will be his parting gift to Kerry!!

And if they believe evil has won, then they might just decide that America is no longer worth it and a few fundementalist in the military might decide to pull a Jack Ripper and set off a nuke or two in defencse of their "precious bodily fluids" or whatever they feel threatened!!!

[yardwork]

35. Welcome to DU. Are you a fan of H.P.?

[Lovecrafty]

38. Yeah me and H.P go way back...:)

[newyawker99]

40. Hi Lovecrafty!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[calico1]

7. They will probably say Kerry is the

anti-Christ.

[PatriotGames]

8. I think they already say that! LOL

[AntiCoup2K4]

23. That one is easy enough to refute

John 4
Forbes 6
Kerry 5

Not 666!

And if that's not enough, send them to http://www.bushisantichrist.com/

[Irishladdie]

9. They'd say

God put Kerry in because there's no mention of THe US in the end times and Kerry is in to Destroy America. What a bunch of lunatics huh!

[kayell]

44. If that's what they think, they should approve of any and all

things that Kerry proposes once he's president, in order to bring the rapture on sooner, and further Gawds plans. Of course by the same logic, they should have fallen in solidly behind Clinton.

[Liberal Veteran]

11. I know exactly what they will say.....

They will claim that God is PUNISHING America because we weren't pious enough!

[rkc3]

18. Here's two sites to visit - with lots of caution.

www.godhatesamerica.com
www.godhatesfags.com

They're already two steps ahead of you.

These sites are probably the most hate-filled you will find, but I think they should be required reading for any one who wants to fight this fight.

[Mad_Dem_X]

21. I visited GHF once a long time ago...

after the whole Matthew Shepherd thing. I emailed them, nothing nasty, just to ask why they had so much hate in their hearts. They wrote back, the most hate-filled email I'd ever read. They are blinded by their hate; you almost feel sorry for them.

[rkc3]

27. They are on Stern sometimes - one woman with her 9 kids.

The kids I feel sorry for. The adults are another story.

[kayell]

46. I made the mistake of emailing them once also, with a pile of

relevant bible quotes on love and forgiveness etc. I got vicious hate mail from them for days. My harddrive crashed soon after. I think it couldn't handle the abuse.

[yardwork]

36. Well I wouldn't condemn their whole program until all the facts are in....

Those people over on godhatesamerica appear to be against the invasion of Iraq, although for slightly different reasons than mine....

P.S. I'm joking here.

[KC21304]

12. And why would God want his favorite to be troubled

by something like 9/11 and hurricane Charley ? Oh, that's right, Pat Robertson is suppose to be taking care of hurricane.

[prodigal_green]

19. Hurricaine Charley was God's punishment on Florida

for giving us the chimp.

No, I don't really think that, but it is a nice rejoinder to God allowed 9/11 because of abortionists and homosexuals.

[Mad_Dem_X]

22. I said the same thing, prodigal_green

I jokingly told my husband that the hurricane was "God's revenge" for their part in Election Theft 2000.:evilgrin:

[Davis_X_Machina]

20. Kerry will be said to have no legitimacy, because he is not God-chosen...

...and consequently does not have to be obeyed.

[UrbScotty]

24. Here's another one: Who put Clinton in office? (nt)

[passthecorn]

28. You don't hang with these kind of people enough

Which I am sure is just fine with you.

God gives us leaders either to judge us or to bless us. Clinton was God's judgment based on the declining morality of the country, but chose to bless us with Bush during the time we needed a strong leader (9/11)

One of the problems with simple thinking is that there is always a simple answer

[BillZBubb]

30. You've summed it up exactly!

Repug president: God's blessing to protect us.
Dem president: We have become depraved and god has justly forsaken us.

Regular as clockwork.

[yardwork]

37. If Clinton was God's judgment, He appears to approve of us

America thrived under Bill Clinton. Eight years of peace and prosperity. Record surplus. Economic growth.

All that got reversed within months of Shrub taking office. Seems like God's message is loud and clear. God doesn't appear to approve of Republicans!

[Zynx]

48. Maybe there is something to that.

Under Republicans the good and poor suffer while the bad and greedy prosper. Under Democrats, there is even keeled prosperity with falling poverty and everyone benefits. Maybe God really doesn't like Republicans and we collectively suffer for letting them take power. ;-) There, I can sound like a good Freeper.

[newyawker99]

41. Hi passthecorn!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[RogueTrooper]

42. Of course GOD must have put W in the Whitehouse

because the American people certainly didn't.

[JETS]

45. God didn't put *ush in the Whitehouse,

the SCOTUS put him there!

[Zynx]

50. According to some Freepers, Bush is God's messenger on earth.

And so are Scalia and Thomas. ;-)

[Hubert Flottz]

49. Gawd and "Long Dong Silver" did it!

What, the FReepers think the Supreme Court Justasses are GAWD? I picture the Repubs on the SCOTUS more like the seven headed monster in the Book of Revelation chapter 13 verse 1!

"And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy." Revelation 13:1
