Sharron Angle: Onward Christian Soldiers

[unapatriciated]

Angle tends to be even less-guarded when she does interviews with Christian media (if that's possible), especialy about her faith and the role it plays in her politics. As she makes plain here, her faith is her politics. Government is a false idol to be resisted. Democrats are against the First Commandment.

"And these programs that you mentioned -- that Obama has going with Reid and Pelosi pushing them forward -- are all entitlement programs built to make government our God. And that's really what's happening in this country is a violation of the First Commandment. We have become a country entrenched in idolatry, and that idolatry is the dependency upon our government. We're supposed to depend upon God for our protection and our provision and for our daily bread, not for our government."

I wonder how many of her retired supporters collecting SS think they are worshiping a false idol.

1. Oh, you mean those things Jesus said you should provide your brother with?

Those "entitlements" that Jesus showed you how to provide with your faith? Remember the three fishes and five loaves deal? That was Jesus teaching YOU how to feed the hungry on faith, you dumbass! It doesn't just materialize out of thin air... you have to start it up! You have to give to the point you think you have none left for yourself!

Boy, he needs to come back and give these asshats further instruction!

It sickens me that as an agnostic, recovering Fundy, I "get it" better than they do.

2. God helps those who help themselves.

I'm seeing more and more of the so-called RW Christians who have been told that if they pray for wealth or good health or a new car, they will get it because God is a generous God. Spending too much time on your knees is not good for your overall well-being.

Talk about entitlements!
