relatives?

I just got my second one.

Gee, which man are they trying to say not to trust, I wonder?

I think they're trying to lick their wounds with Dr Dobson's Self-Righteous Salve.

1. I do trust God.

And since He allowed Obama to be elected, I'm not going to question His judgment.

3. Where did I say you couldn't trust God?

The point of my post is that they're implying that suddenly... now... gosh, maybe since November 4th... it's not alright to trust in a man, too.

4. It wasn't a response to you. More to the fundie assumption that there's a conflict in doing both.

Sorry for not being clear.

5. No, my bad for jumping to conclusions.

Yes, I agree - they think there is a conflict in doing both, but only when it's convenient for them. They sure trusted Dubya and McCain.

13. That's the correct...

answer in a strictly Biblical sense. The scripture is full of examples of submission to lawful authority in all things but the worship of the one true God. Daniel was a really good example. Even Jesus submitted himself to the judgment of the Romans.

Some fundamentalists seem to forget that part of the rule book. I suspect it's because they spend too much time studying books that interpret the Bible for them instead of going straight to the source and finding out for themselves.

2. Shoot! I could have told them THAT! Back when they were putting their trust in the chimp.

The "compassionate conservative".
"Our Leader".
"Bringing honor and dignitude back to the White House"

What a crock... :eyes:

6. Send them back with a one-liner: "God's will be done".

[CitizenPatriot]

7. I have and I wrote them back

that I had been relieved when God told me I could and should trust his gift to us, President Obama, and should follow him without question no matter what.

Praise God.

[Alter Ego]

8. Send this back:

You should support your President in a time of great economic crisis.

[Arkansas Granny]

9. Nope. I have returned enough of those in the past with links to sites that dispute their "facts"

that I've apparently been removed from their email lists. I haven't received a new one in weeks.

10. My reply: "Don't tell me what to fucking do, you brainless twit"

:evilgrin:

11. God picked Obama. nt

12. I haven't gotten that one yet

But I have gotten the one about how the Post Office is selling Muslim stamps and that's proof that the terrorists are winning. Some dreck like that.

I think the far right has lost its collective mind.
