If Kerry wins, will the Christian RW think God chose him as well?

[Indiana_Dem]

Just wondering if the logic will remain the same....:shrug:

I'm sure this has been brought up before but I keep thinking about it.

1. You are kidding, Right?

Christian Right == Situational Theology.

[AspenRose]

2. Nah: Then Kerry'll be the antichrist

No, wait, that's Bill Clinton....

kinda hard to keep up with their logic.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

3. only if he convinces them that Bush was the anti-Christ. eom

[stopbush]

4. Yes. They'll say that god is challenging true believers with plagues, just

like he did in ancient times. A test of faith with Kerry as the anti-Christ. Endtimes bullshit galore.

Bank on it.

[Cha]

5. They damn well better!

Cause I'm going to go around telling everyone that God Chose Kerry!

He's through with Fucking bush!

6. As a Christian who is NOTa RW, I can only say that

God gives us free will to choose our leaders. God allows these leaders, because we used our free will and chose them. This applies whether its Bush or Kerry (save for the fact that Bush technically wasn't elected). If Kerry wins, serious Christians will recognize that God has allowed us to choose. The right-wingers will probably say that a Kerry victory is against God's will, because they hate Kerry, don't understand their Bibles, and are hypocrites.

Simply put, to answer your question, no they won't.

7. We chose a leader last time

but the SCOTUS intervened.

[Lone_Wolf_Moderate]

8. Right.

Oftentimes God allows bad things to happen, only to turn it around for the greater good (Romans 8:28). Everybody reaps the fruit of their deeds and misdeeds.

[Indiana_Dem]

9. I agree with all of you!

I just can't believe the logic they have, me being a Christian as well. Just like you said, we choose and reap the consequences of our decisions. I just can't wait to see their logic when this happens.

11. It's becoming harder and harder for me to

handle what these fanatics have done to religion. Jesus Christ would not be welcomed by these people yet they profess to follow his teachings - it just makes me sick.

10. Although he uttered

them in a spirit of black humour, Adlai Stevenson seems to have known the neo-con mindset very well:

"A lie is abomination unto the Lord..... and an ever-present help in time of trouble..."; and more specifically here, "The people have spoken... the b*****ds!"

Somehow, self-abandonment to Divine Providence doesn't readily spring to mind as a pre-eminent charism of theirs. It would be strictly for wusses and girly-men (body-beautiful types excluded, of course).

12. I'll be glad when the Bushies understand

that they don't have the market on the bible nor the flag. Boy, would that ever be a letdown for some.
I don't think some repugs are capable of understanding that. It's almost a contradiction in terms to some.

[Clinton Crusader]

13. They'll say the anti-christ has risen to power and we're all doomed

:kick:

[Jawja]

14. No, they will declare

that the Devil is winning and taking over. God is a Republican, you know.
