Newly elected Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma attended an “Inaugural Prayer Service” today, during which declared that it is his mission to align the state “with what God is doing in Oklahoma,” while his wife proclaimed that it is their responsibility as Christians to use their position in elected office “to go our into our state and save people and bring people to” Jesus.

Trump-loving right-wing evangelist Lance Wallnau was in the audience at today’s prayer service and posted video of the Stitt’s remarks on his Facebook page.

“Every time I would go to prayer and I would say, ‘Lord, what do you want me to do?’ I just felt like he kept saying, ‘I already told you what to do,'” Stitt told the congregation as he recounted his decision to run for governor. “So finally I surrendered … It’s just amazing, nothing in the natural says that I’m supposed to be right here … I’m just so honored to be your governor and I just want to encourage you, when God puts anything on your hearts or on your children’s hearts, we can do anything we put our minds to.”

“I am so excited,” he continued. “It’s not about me. This is something, I pray and I tell our team when we get together, we have an opportunity to join in with what God is doing in Oklahoma … We’re going to engage the non-profits and the churches to really heal and solve some of these social issues, county by county, that the government can’t do, no law can do, but our Heavenly Father can do.”

First Lady Sarah Stitt then spoke and said that they arranged for this prayer service to take place following the inauguration “because we wanted Oklahoma to see that this was our hearts.”

“We are God’s kingdom here on earth,” she said. “It is our call to go our into our state and save people and bring people to him and help with all of these issues. Government alone cannot fix this.”.

4. Fine by me...

As long as he includes Allah, Buddha, Shiva, Vishnu, Thor, Zeus, Jupiter, Apollo, Odin, Osiris, Isis, the Great Pumpkin, the Great Spirit, the many faced god, the god of light, the old gods and the new and about 35,000 more examples with approximately equal, that is to say NO, intrinsic value to the task of running a secular state in a secular union.

Otherwise, I would like to have a psychiatric evaluation conducted on him to understand how his daily self-talking to his invisible sky daddy is impacting his executive decisions. I would also be interested in a full physical and blood work on his man to ensure that he is not suffering from any parasites or mold exposures at the moment...

And before anyone starts with the "that kind of militant atheism is part of the problem not the solution" crap...no, its a mean-spirited response to a mean-spirited philosophy and abuse of government power in a secular society. If I had sought him out to single out for ridicule, that would be bad on me....responding to moronic things said in public and credited to invisible spirits without any proof is simply doubting the sanity of the original opiner, nothing more or less.
