Is God on our side?

[Renew Deal]

You vote Hannity decides.

At least if you vote and it is close, Hannity can't brag about the result. Personally, I can't speak for God so I don't know.

1. I just heard someone quote Lincoln

as saying "The question is not 'Is God on our side?', but 'Are we on God's side'?". I say we are.

[arewethereyet]

15. that someone was John Edwards and right he was to do so

I think the nation is but not as much as years gone by

[daveskilt]

2. all this god rhetoric is really worrying me

I mean really - when did discussions of any topic come down to well we cant agree so Im right because my god says so? oh wait the crusades, the holy inquisition, september 11th

[BradCKY]

3. Only if a republican is in office

According to them, Clinton was a satanist out to ruin the county.... RIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHT

[ozymandius]

4. I suppose that depends on what your definition of "god" is.

I would not even try to begin qualifying what kind of God Hannity dreams about.

The universe is long but it bends toward justice.

[HiramAbiff]

5. God was on Egypt's side for 2000 years

God was with the Muslims in the medieval era.

Anyone who claims to know the "mind" of God, is sick. Especially when it comes to international policy, government and war.

That claim is worthy only of a ignorant savage wallowing in the lowest rungs of human existence.

[BlueStateGirl]

6. No, God only choses sides during the Superbowl and the Grammys.

[daveskilt]

25. just once i want to hear a losing athlete say...

We would have won too if it wasnt for that bastard jesus making them intercept the ball on the 10 yard line.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

7. So if we DU this poll..

..Hannity will have PROOF that liberals not only hate God AND America, but think God's on the OTHER side. Damn, this guy is smart!

LMAO.

[KG]

8. with things this fucked up, how can anyone think 'god is on our side'?

:eyes:

[AZCat]

9. That depends on what you think god's motives are

Maybe, as posited in "Calvin & Hobbes", god is not a kind god.
BTW- i loved that Sunday strip, but Watterson in one of his books commented that he didn't have the space to do what he wanted, and he was disappointed with the result. I wonder what he would have done if he had all the space he needed.

[pacifictiger]

10. isn't it interesting that

Queen Elizabeth II, official head of the Anglican Church, almost never talks overtly of god except in christmas speeches, yet bornagain bush and company continue to spout forth continually breaking the ten commandments using the name of the lord thy god in vain.

[leesa]

11. What a stupid question. Does he mean does God support the murder of

22,000 Iraqis just for the hell of it? What do you think? Does God support corporate whores like Hannity lying every day of their worthless lives? Does God support corporate America stealing from the poor and defenseless of the world. Doubt it. If he does, then who would want to have such a god, besides the GOP, of course. I'm saved, now let me go loot social security and bomb Muslims...

[Martin Eden]

14. Yep. It's a damned stupid question.

And if there IS a God, maybe he'll damn Hannity for asking it.

[stepnw1f]

12. No...but the Easter Bunny....

[Tom Kitten]

17. Every man for himself but

God against all....These fundy / opportunist Bible thumpers embrace the wrath and will of the Old Testament God and yet do not perceive that in the OT days NOBODY went to heaven...God even played games with Satan, manipulating and making people's lives miserable just in order to prove a point that people would still worship him (see Book of Job)...just to prove a point that no matter how bad things were he would still be worshipped...(and to this day I've never heard of a St. Job)...
I do believe humanity (mankind) at its best has shown God a thing or two about morality...
Which is why I find this whole "Passion" thing weird...why cry about the death suffered by the Son of God when the Father God deemed it necessary for salvation of humanity? Why do I find this theology really screwed up?

[rusk2003]

13. NO

And if God Was smiting nations like he was a few thousands years ago we would be first on that list and last on it agian after every other country got theres.

[Crachet2004]

16. I voted no.

We are under Republican domination-and they are the new Pharisees. God is testing us, as he did Abraham, that is why He gave us Them.

The GOP, in their pride and greed, are leading us all into eternal damnation. Were Jesus Christ alive today, would his ministry be centered in the Hoods, or would he be a member of the Business Round Table?

We must cast the corporations out of our most sacred places-the Whitehouse, the Halls of Congress and the US Supreme Court, even as Christ turned the merchants from the Temple!

Though they tempt us as the Serpent did our Lord, with blandishments and promises of earthly power, still must we continue on with His work...protecting the weak, empowering the poor and defeating Satan and his Servant this fall in the general election!

Get thee behind me Satan! And take thy familiar Dick Cheney with you! Back! Back vile Snake! Back to the nethermost regions of Tartarus or Texas...to the boiling hot pit that spawned you...and trouble us no more!

Amen.

18. We may well be witnessing the dumbing down of America.

You can tell your grandkids it started in 2000 and its culmination was in 2004. Is God on our side? By whose standard? george w bush*?
If he is the standard, NO! Is it regardng Iraq? That's the only reference I've heard that bush* said God told him what to do. But God would not tell bush* to invade Iraq and oh btw george your going to have to lie about it. And yet the right wing media is wetting its panties because Kerry was not articulate on whether God is on America's side. Absolutely amazing. Mark this period in American history. Americans have no healthcare, children are going to bed hungry, Americans have no jobs, our children are dying in Iraq and what does the media latch on to differentiate between the candidates?
Absolutely amazing.

[ComerPerro]

19. Not as long as Bush is in power

[sweetheart]

20. What if god does not take sides

To know god, you must surrender "sides".

Perhaps the question is short for "Do we have the divine right
of kings." this "we" being the party leadership of industrial
corporations, military corporations and the corporate congress and
media.

To be on gods side then, having surrendered sides and the conflict
of interests are not ones god. This would leave democracy shining
beneath, and that is gods side. To have any moral interests in
siding with arms against people, is certainly not gods side. To
drop huge explosives on civilians from 30,000 feet in the dark, is
not gods side.

God is on 6 billion people's side, equally per each persons aspiration.
God has many names, and is an essential unity inside all
the names, words making them seem different. Some religions
put a face and a personality on god, others give it less human
qualities, yet all are bound by the fallacy of words.

6 billion people in love, can change the world.
There is nobody in this world except you.
The 6 billion are you as well.
To deny this root fact of sharing this planet, to think
oneself, nation or race above that of the other children
is no peerage of god, and such people will be angry, hateful
and repressive, furthering a culture of fear denying
the truth of god.

If they REALLY believed in god, these neocons would think
again about what hole they've dug themselves in to, and
how that will weigh on that judgement day.

[myopic4141]

21. Who's side is God on.

Nobody's. God is sitting having a good laugh at the divine comedy playing out.

[Djinn]

22. I can NOT beleive he's asking

such an absurd question - if a "journalist" even a quasi journo from one of Rupert's scum rags asked that question in either of my two home countries (Aust & UK) they'd be laughed out of a job.

that's it - completely fucknig speechless now

[Disturbed]

23. Gods are a man made invention.

It is obvious to me that this is so. If one reads history one would know that their were Mother Gods and all sorts of other gods prior to the Monotheism of the Isaraelites. In Egypt, a Pharoe declared that their was on only one God and destroyed staues of various other gods. When he died the believers in those other gods destoyed the staues of one god and replaced it with the other gods that they claimed were the real gods prior to that. Much wealth and labor were placed toward tombs in Egypt regarding the after life by intelligent people, do we still believe in that concept? It is all absurd and a wishful fantasy to calm human kind's fears of powerlessness and death.

The fact that people have killed others in the name of gods &/or in the attempt to convert others to a particular god or gods of the halting of somepeople from worshiping gods or having a philosophy, such as Buhdists that have been massacered in Tibet and other places, points to the insanity of human beings.

[sweetheart]

26. buddhists rock

The chinese invasion of Tibet killed some very wise and awakened
buddhist priests. The result, ironically, was a period of organized
mass murder and insanity as the terrible karma of genocide struck
china.

These lineages are now safe in the west. Buddhism has never
sponsored war, ever. However, lineages have indeed taken arms to
defend themselves and the villiagers from bandits in historic china.

I think it wise to investigate all religions thoroughly to make
the absolute claim that they are "ALL" morally bankrupt, before one
sweepingly disenchants something that might better remain mysterious.
A dance with lord shiva.... that there
is not a profound god-like awakening that has rocked the planet, a
bodhisattva, an enlightened guru, lineage of guru's of awakening.

The danger of presuming that the sample of religion that one has
sampled, is "all" religion, could be dangerous were you to catch
in the-real-enlightened-people-you-haven't-met with your tuna-net.

Were christ alive today, he would be a cult-leader. The media
would crucify the modern christ, declaring him a fraud while he
healed the sick.

Nirvana, awakening, and enlightenment AND GOD
can theologically mean the same thing. Whilst one might think
they are simply concepts. The nirvana/awakening is not
a thought. God, by this reading, is innate and NOT a man made
invention.

namaste,
