If I were a RW 'believer' in 'God's Will', which I"m not in any way, shape, or form,
I'd have to start rethinking my political stance:

Obama cruises to the nomination and Presidency with everything including perfect weather for his outdoor events, then passes this bill with a Perfect Storm: 60 votes in the Senate...just before there were 59, 216+ votes in the House; reconciliation worked...Bill on his desk.

WOW!

1. Yes.
I'm afraid the Devil's Will is stronger.

2. Maybe they are just
Chalking it up to the end times.

3. 'Zackly. If they believe God is in control of everything at all times and in all places,
then why are they so upset?


8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,"
declares the LORD.

9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.



Isaiah 55:8-11

4. They label every new democratic president as the next Antichrist.
Seriously. My parents went to a fundy church when we were kids and they put that on Jimmy Carter (just how evil can a peanut farmer be, OMG!). Next they said that Clinton was the Antichrist re-born, and of course now it's Obama.

They're surrounded by Antichrists, it's hard to keep up!

5. "God's will" only applies to when they get something they want.
If not, then Satan is at work.

6. I routinely praise God for Obama in front of right-wingers
I'm of a Deist bent which means, I think God is kind of passive and more just watching instead of interceding in things all the time.

But doing this really, really gets on their nerves, and I can quote the Bible just as well as they can to make my points. Drives them crazy.

7. You don't necessarily have to quote the Bible...
Edited on Mon Mar-22-10 05:23 PM by PCIntern
quoting Gregory Peck in The Omen can get you quite far...

Damien!!?
