OK, so far God has called the following people to run for president: Herman CainMichele Bachmanand Rick Perry through Anita.And two of them have made references to Exodus. I'm wondering two things: 1) why does anyone believe this dumbfuckery, and 2) what do the fundies make of this? Do they think that God called all of them? That two are liars? What?

You see, God's pretending to back some of them, but only one of them is the true believer.
And if you vote for the wrong one, even without knowing any better, you'll go to hell.
Actually, scratch that. If you vote for ANY of them, you'll go to hell. Because all True Christians (TM) know that Ron Paul is the only candidate approved by God Almighty to be 100% logic-proof, 24/7.

Speaking of logic proof, anyone ever head of the concept of the "holy fool". Aka Foolishness for Christ.

So I guess people who identify as Republicans and not as Christians are screwed?
Or is that an oxymoron?

Every religion claims to be the One True Path. All also share the same, absolute lack of external support for this affirmation. It requires a great deal of delusion for a believer to hold their faith as knowledge and their rejection of other beliefs as rational. Claiming divine support exploits the exact same kind of delusion. So no, it doesn't surprise me that the old "God with us" trick is still working on gnostic theists.

It's quite simple really. When two or more of them lose the GOP nomination, they'll just say that although God called them to run, he didn't necessarily mean they'd win. Sure, that raises more questions than it answers, but since when have fundies EVER thought things through?

And when none of them win and Obama starts his second term they'll all forget that part in Romans about leaders being ordained by god when they're in charge

Santorum is making the same bold claim. But then again "God" has never "told" anyone anything they themselves didn't want to hear...

At this point the only Repub candidate that ISN'T batshit insane is John Huntsman. LOL that should be his slogan: VOTE FOR HUNTSMAN. HE ISN'T BATSHIT INSANE.

I think Huntsman is the only Repub I have respect for... he apparently did a VERY solid job in Utah, so points for not fucking up his state.

God wanted the three of them to run. He never said anything about wanting them to win.
God wants Obama to have a second term. Clearly.
