In wake of election, religious leader in Sarah Palin's prayer warfare network issues dire warning...
Dutch Sheets, a cleric who is one of the originators of the "prophecy" that Alaska will serve as a refuge during End Times, is not happy about the result of the 2008 US election and predicts that it will bring great tragedy...

Dutch Sheets' response to the election

November 6, 2008

I feel certain that many in my stream of the Church want a statement from me concerning Tuesday's presidential election. I will be frank in my remarks but I do not, however, intend to vent anger or attack anyone. I have read several statements from friends and colleagues I respect very much. Their thoughts are well stated and, for the most part, insightful. None of them, however, seem to want to say some things that I believe need to be said. I do not claim infallibility or to have the final word, but my convictions run deep and I believe I bear a God-given responsibility to share them.

Was This God's Will?

Was what happened Tuesday God's will? I am quite confident it was not. America was offered a very clear choice between moving further toward protecting the unborn or further away; between a Supreme Court that would move toward honoring God, life and morality or away from it. The stakes couldn't have been higher nor the cost greater. As a nation we put on blinders concerning Barak Obama's background, associations, beliefs and practices, and set these causes back years, possibly decades.

And in doing so we took another step away from God and His plans for America, and another step toward judgment.

...

What are some of the judgments we can expect on our nation from this election?

- More economic woes
- More violence in an already violent nation
- Disease and death (satan, who is responsible for these things will have greater inroads to our nation.)
- Natural disasters (weather-tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, drought; fires; earthquakes; etc.)
- Terrorism (they will fear us much less now)
- War, perhaps on our own soil
- Judgments relating to the Court. The stacking of the Supreme Court against the sanctity of life and God's influence on America will occur, which will in turn cause the shedding of more innocent blood, more rejection of God's laws and the stealing from us of our godly heritage-all of which will perpetuate a cycle of even more judgment.

3. Yo, Dutch, you fucktard.
An omnipotent deity can't have something happen against his will.

And if he has a problem with that, let him tell us. Not you, dickhead!

6. "set these causes back years, possibly decades." I can live with that.
Decades from now, medicine and science will have totally redefined reproduction and contraception.

The concept of controlling someone else's fertility politically will be as foreign a concept as slavery.

An interesting story about long, long, ago.

It will go the way of stonings and witch burnings.

7. Yet another fear monger
Venting his own political discord under the guise of Christianity - obviously, without even giving President-elect Obama a chance to prove what he can and cannot do.

At least the nut jobs should let Obama get into office before they start forecasting his downfall.

I sincerely hope that during the next four years, we, as a society, are able to move away from absolute idiots like this guy!

8. So if things go bad it's God's fault?
I mean, God could have prevented it, right?

12. Ah blow it out your ass, Bastard Sheets
I have to put up with this shit from someone with this own bullshit rationale in my office - everything is "GOD GOD GOD GOD GOD" and its fucking disgusting.

I'm sorry to anyone that can balance spirituality, religion, and life but its clear that the majority of these simpletons can't.

13. It's perfect for them because when global warming isn't immediately halted
and the economy doesn't recover overnight after the inauguration, they can blame all that on Barack Obama. I don't know whether to call them fucking morans or evil geniuses. I just wish they'd get raptured away and leave the sane people in peace.

15. Oh..and he's predicting bad weather. That's quite a bold move.
We might have floods, droughts, earthquakes and hurricanes? Really? That's terrible, because we sure haven't had any of THOSE in the past 8 years.

Hate-mongering at it's best in the name of religion. Odd that God only seems to communicate with crazy people.

21. FFS, if you're going to prophesize at least be a little specific
Saying that bad things are going to happen to us because we voted Obama into office, is a little hard to disprove.
