Why does gods plan never include republicans doing the right thing

[Duncanpup]

My wife just read this to me from Twitter

[Bucky]

1. There's some people who worship greed and just call it "God"

They love and worship greed and power. I'd call it materialistic nihilism. It's still a god, in the sense that it is a transcendent principle that helps them impose a moral order into their universe, and which they can anthropomorphize. But it's just not a god of love and redemption like traditional Christian religion strives to please.

Also, instead of Jesus, this god sent Rupert Murdoch down to earth

[NanceGreggs]

2. Why do Jesus's admonitions ...

... never line-up with Republican policies?

When was the last time the GOP fought for feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, caring for the sick and dying?

11. Dog gone religious dogma can be so Subjective.

[ReluctanceTango]

21. You might want to read the book again

Because they're far more in agreement with him than the propaganda about his reputation indicates.

He's not a nice guy. The bad about him far outweighs the few good things he said.

[hlthe2b]

3. Because, as in great literature (and Greek mythology) the "good guys" need a foil?

Frankly, I think it is time to have a period of quiescence-- if dullness.

[liberal N proud]

4. They claim it does

They claim to do everything in the name of God.
God sent tpg.
In their words, god will stoke down all the evil liberul socialist, commys

[ReluctanceTango]

22. If you've read the book

It does say that it's okay to murder lots of the same people that the GQP hates. And the guy in the second part of the book says that is well and good, because that's the law, which will not go out of effect until the end of the earth.

But what do I know? I actually read it myself, rather than have a crock in a frock "instruct" me on what it was "really" saying. Those crocks in frocks wouldn't have a self-serving agenda, oh no, never.

5. Only Democrats are the evil government even when Republicans are in charge so

Republicans have no choice, they must fight back and do the opposite of whatever Democrats do! This is them doing the right thing.

[2Gingersnaps]

6. You'll have that when the ominpotent ominpresent ones commands oddly perfectly

align with their ulterior motives.

[Comfortably_Numb]

7. It's their same problem with "science". It always seems to line up with the side

that values education, common sense, and perception. Fuck republicans one and all.

[IronLionZion]

8. Maybe Satan is talking to Republicans

or Republicans are generally evil selfish assholes.

10. "Hell is empty and all the devils are here." - William Shakespeare, The Tempest

[ReluctanceTango]

23. Satan has killed fewer people

Than HaShem. It's not even remotely close.

Really.

[multigraincracker]

9. They found a loop hole.

[Farmer-Rick]

12. Saw a bumper sticker the other day

That said, "God is pro life." That is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. Every person dies. Every bit of life on earth right now will be dead in less than 100 years.

How is that pro life? That is pro death. God loves death. The imaginary all powerful creator kills millions, makes millions suffer and even allows innocent children and animals to suffer horribly before they die. That is not pro-life. That's very much pro-death. Even the bible is filled with people dying. The Christian god is very much pro-death.

Pro-life would be immortality. Living forever would be a God that is pro-life. But do you see any living being that lives forever? There are a few plants that have managed to exist a very long time but even they are not predicted to live forever.

Yet the GOPers go around saying nonsensical crap and we are supposed to believe their nonsense and base our laws on these lies.

[IronLionZion]

13. These people love Old Testament smiting and wrath

as God leveled entire cities and flooded the earth killing everyone around.

[Farmer-Rick]

20. Exactly.... that's pro-death

Certainly not pro-life.

[ReluctanceTango]

24. His kid liked the murders of people he hated, too

Or did you not get what he was saying in Matthew 5:18?

[DownriverDem]

14. When will our side

realize that we must vote in November? The polls show that trump will beat Biden in 2024 & the MAGA repubs will win big in November. This sickens me.

[FoxNewsSucks]

18. Absolutely

Never stop voting or give up.

What sickens me more is the complacency. Our elected politicians have failed to make sure we CAN vote, that our vote will be counted accurately if at all, and that republicons can't just overrule results they don't like.

I don't know how we out here can fix that.

[FoxNewsSucks]

15. No kidding.

This great "plan" that god supposedly has for each and every one of us is a pretty shitty plan for most.

And it seemingly benefits the followers of Lucifer and greed the most.

Odd, that.

[PJMcK]

16. Simple

There is no god. Therefore they can claim gods will I’d anything they want.

[SKKY]

17. I had a similar argument with my Aunt not too long ago...

...She insinuated COVID was God's response to abortions, homosexuality, crime, and a whole other host of what she considers issues. I asked her, "Have you considered the possibility that COVID is God's response to your intolerance, support of the most immoral president the country has ever seen, or for people who evangelize a prosperity gospel (They go to a 'Mega Church')?" Crickets. As practically my entire family are card-carrying members of MAGA nation, I have a unique view into how they think and why they think it. But the most important thing I have learned is they have zero ability for self-reflection. That's why Trump is such an effective communicator to this group. He says what they want to hear, and what they need to hear regardless of its basis in fact or even reality. And they eat it up.

[ReluctanceTango]

25. Well, COVID did show up when the most evil people

Voted for one of the most irredeemable pieces of shit ever to walk the earth.

If there is a space buddy in the sky, he was definitely making it clear how much he didn't like so much evil running amok.

[SKKY]

26. It just seems odd to me now they refuse to recognize that possiblity...

...but, as Rick James so wisely said once, "Cult. It's a hell of a drug."

[Amishman]

19. because God works on a scale and timeframe that is beyond comprehension

A hands-on, micromanaging God does not reconcile well with the concept of free will. Nor does it line up with observations on the world around us.

If there is a higher power (and I believe there is), they clearly operate on a scale that we cannot comprehend. Our political problems are no more a concern to the creator than a single bad apple is to the farmer.
