Well, it is 11:42 and it appears that the answer to many of our prayers was "no." Not what we wanted to hear. Heartbreaking, but not surprising. A nation can not, after all, run around being completely unrepentant of murdering nearly 60 million babies and expect God to turn His head away forever. We also can not have a leader who would turn on God's chosen nation the way Obama has and expect for God's blessings to continue. Such would contradict Scripture - to which God is ultimately always faithful.
So where do we go? To our knees. Yet though He slay me, still will I trust Him. Where can we go but to the Lord? This is a very hard time. Our nation is gone. It is no longer America. Free stuff and fraud won. And God's people will no doubt face some very hard times.
But keep looking up. Nothing can happen without God's sovereign allowance. Even in this sorrow, He has a plan and it is for His glory and the good of His children. Perhaps to save our nation, which is what we have prayed, we must lose our nation. Don't know. But I know God is good. Heaven is real. And if we never get back what we lost, we have been blessed having had it. Love my Freeper friends. God bless the Free Republic, even if it's namesake no longer is.

God was probably too busy killing babies via spontaneous miscarriages etc to notice all the babies killed in America.
On another note, it must be so sad that the guy you spent so much time pretending to like lost.
"It burst into flames! It's fireand it's crashing! It's crashing terrible! Oh, my, get out of the way, please! It's burning and bursting into flames, and theand it's falling on the mooring-mast... and all the folks agree that this is terrible, this is the worst of the worst catastrophes in the world! It'sit'sit's the flames, oh, four- or five-hundred feet into the sky and it ... it's a terrific crash, ladies and gentlemen! It's smoke, and it's flames now ... Oh, the humanity -and all the passengers screaming around here....! Ah! It'sit'sit'sit's ... oohhh! II can't talk, ladies and gentlemen. Honest, it's just laying there, a mass of smoking wreckage. Ah! And everybody can hardly breathe and talk, and the screaming. Lady, II'm sorry. Honest: II can hardly breathe. II'm going to step inside where I cannot see it. Ah, ahI can't. I, listen, folks, II'm gonna have to stop for a minute because I've lost my voice. This is the worst thing I've ever witnessed."

It's okay, though. For real this time, no crewpeople or blimps were hurt, just a bit embarrassed:

Funny coincidence or portent of doom? You decide.
So where do we go? To our knees
Fine, you do that. Stay out of our way as the rest of us work to support and improve the USA. Maybe you can do some vaccuuming while you're down there, tidy the place up a bit.
it appears that the answer to many of our prayers was "no."
Except for the fact that praying to a non-existent fantasy is pointless, I suppose it's beyond your grasp that - according to your game - perhaps your God's answer to the other side was "yes".
Where would that put you? Pretty much in the toilet I guess. But I suppose you'd never accept that. Even if Jesus had appeared to you himself and had said "vote for Obama", you would have told him he was wrong.
Scripture - to which God is ultimately always faithful.
Wouldn't that be the other way around? I.e. that scripture would always be faithful to God? No, for you God has to obey the Bible, even when it's just "inspired" prose, as your very own theologians teach.
Where can we go but to the Lord?
Yes, please do. Since Obama got re-elected aren't you supposed to be raptured off into Heaven or something?
Fly away, drama queen, fly away.
@ Checkmate. "Scripture - to which God is ultimately always faithful."
This is a realisation I came to about 30 years ago. These people are not Christians, they are Bibliolaters. At the core, they worship a book.
Also, another realisation from those days, this is not about religion or Christianity, it is about Politics. Has anyone ever seen a Fundamentalist (Christian, Muslim, whatever) who is politically on the Left. Or even middle of the road.
After a long time trying to make sense of their 'beliefs', I gave up and did a Hitchens. I told them to their eyes, that they were nothing more than 'fascist Fundamentalist Ratbags'. A ratbag in Australian is someone who is too stupid to know that they are stupid.
Is it 60 million babies already? My, how time flies. Why it seems it was only 30 million just yesterday. Of course, you halfwits never take into account the roughly 25% (or 15 million babies for the math impaired) you god would have aborted before the first trimester.
"Mittens lost, and it's all because of abortion, and now god has deserted us because the prez doesn't support Israel."
Religious thinking. *facepalm*
Some of these people are so thick they are probably on their knees praying that Obama doesn't win again in 2016.
Well, there's a prayer that will be answered - but not in the way these idiots think(?).
Wow. Voting proved more effective than praying. Who'da thunk it?
@Thirddrop
"These people are not Christians, they are Bibliolaters."
Which makes them even more bizarre: it would mean that when they try to get God to talk to them or even listen to them they do it knowing they'll fail to get a response - because the response would not be in the Bible.
Maybe they should adopt that as a motto: "God - Telling us nothing we haven't already known for two thousand years."
God was apparently pleased with the way Obama ran things, as he gave him a second turn in office. God's blessing IS continuing, stupid.
The rest of the world breathed a collective sigh of relief when we heard that Obama had been elected.
Fraud won in the 2000 election, stupid.
The people in God's chosen country (Israel) ought to know, better than anyone else, what it feels like to be segregated, starved, maimed and killed for the crime of being born of a specific culture.
Again, why does anyone worship a being that refuses to answer prayers and then punishes people because of it? This is just insanity.
Yet though He slay me, still will I trust Him.
This is the kind of thinking which led to the Jonestown incident.
"Nothing can happen without God's sovereign allowance."
Cool... so god could have stopped the murder of those nearly 60 million babies, but didn't? Pretty fucking disgusting god you worship...
1. So God caused Obama to get elected, because of abortion?
2. God caused Obama to be elected, because he has "turned on God's chosen nation"?
Obvious question: Why does God not punish the people who provide the abortions, and Obama, by causing Romney to get elected?
"Nothing can happen without God's sovereign allowance". Obama has been elected twice. Obvious conclusion: God likes Obama.
Yeah, so either God wants to punish you and fuck around with you a bit, like he did with say, Job, or it could be that praying just doesn't work?
"Well, it is 11:42 and it appears that the answer to many of our prayers was "no." "
Why were you praying for a third gread depression?
I know I've read too many of these quotes when the thing that shocks me most here is that these people apparently refer to themselves as Freepers. I thought that was our derogatory nickname! Will wonders never cease? Also, I have not received my Free Stuff since the election. Must I wait until the inauguration? These people gave me the impression that I would acquire my Free Stuff immediately and continue to do so until the apocalypse.
Okay, if you really want to win in 2016, here's a few tips:
- You prayed for your guy to win and your god said "no." Evidently, praying isn't a very practical strategy. Maybe you should get off your knees and do something that gets results.
- Demonizing abortion doesn't seem to be helping you either. Might I suggest that you help reduce the need for abortions by de-stigmatizing sex education and birth control and making them more accessible? Its part of that "practical" business I mentioned before.
- Insulting the majority of your fellow citizens by suggesting that they are stupid, lazy and/or greedy isn't going to help you win them over. One would have think that Romney's moronic 47% comment would have taught you something.
- If, as you say, our nation is gone, why are you talking about saving it? Cut the melodrama and figure out a sensible plan of action. Talking about how wonderful you are because you believe in god(s) doesn't seem to be helping your cause.
These lessons in navigating the real world were brought to you by an admittedly liberal atheist.
