Huckabee: Be a Christian nation or face God's Fiery Judgment

"These are the things that I know. I know there is a God, and I know this nation would not exist had he not been the midwife of its birth. And I know that this nation exists by the providence of his hand, and if this nation forgets our God, then God will have every right to forget us," Huckabee said. "I hope that we repent before we ever have to receive his fiery judgment."

Aside from the usual threat that God will immolate me if I don't vote Republican, I am struck that in Mike Huckabee's world God has rights.

Gee, I didn't know that God was behind the white settlers taking over a land that was already occupied by Native Americans. And God was ok with the wholesale slavery, the rapes and murders of Native Americans?

Your version of God SUCKS HUCK!!!

Odin is the King of Gods.

His son Thor has a big hammer. (see the book of Maxwell, which refers to silver hammers)

Other gods got nailed to a cross by a hammer.

So we should acknowledge Thor as our god?

That's what he meant, right?

You must let Thor and his hammer into your heart. That way Thor acts as a pacemaker, see?

Huck should stick to letting violent people out of prison so they can rape and murder
some more.

He can set the first good example of what his Christ wanted.

Or he can shut the fuck up, there is that, too.

Pretty sad when even Republicans know there is no rational reason for anyone to vote for them, and they have to resort to spiritual bullying to convince people.

We have no idea if Jesus was even a real person. The earliest documents we have of any NT book date back to only the 4th century, and we assume those are copies of copies of copies etc. Imagine the number of mistakes that must have entered into those books over millennia. Decisions were made along the way as to which ancient books about Jesus were "legit" and which weren't. Those decisions were made by fallible men, most of whom had a political agenda.

Even the writings of Paul - which came BEFORE the Gospels were written - disagree with the Gospels. In truth, the Gospel accounts of Jesus are most likely a perversion of the ideas set forth in Paul's epistles. The very idea of a corporeal Jesus is a perversion of Paul's portrait of a Jesus who lived entirely in the spirit world, as did many of the other Mediterranean gods of the era.

Perversion is a loaded word when it comes to what is actually "true" about any religion.
