Ben Carson: 'The Power Of God' Is Behind My Presidential Campaign

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Wednesday, 10/21/2015 2:20 pm

Yesterday on Daystar’s “Marcus and Joni,” Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson lashed out at critics who said that he would never have a chance to win the presidency. He said that instead of retiring, God opened the door for him to enter the presidential race “much to the consternation of all the professional class and all the pundits” who said it was “impossible” for a “political neophyte” like him to build a national campaign. “And yet, you see, it’s happening,” Carson said. “They don’t understand the power of God.”

as children.

What is more childish than thinking an invisible white man with blue eyes and a beard is in the sky and he will ultimately make everything good and all better.

The people in the ME think he looks different but other than that, not much difference in the delusion.

Who apparently keeps telling GOP candidates that He's behind them, and they're going to win thanks to Him before yelling, "SIKE!"
