He is said to move in mysterious ways and, at last, there may be an explanation why. For according to pensions minister Steve Webb, God is a Liberal Democrat. Although the party has been languishing in single figures in the polls, he argues that, in the long term, it has the support of the Almighty.

Writing in a new book about the party’s relationship with Christianity, Mr. Webb says it is clear from the Bible that God shares the Lib Dems’ core beliefs. …

Despite Mr. Webb’s eye-catching claims, the book is unlikely to feature on Nick Clegg’s reading list, since the Lib Dem leader has declared himself an atheist. …

God? He’s a Liberal, says (Lib Dem) minister who claims party has support of the Almighty despite languishing in the polls
Clear from the Bible? Mr. Webb ought to be careful what he says. Much of what appears in the LibDems’ constitution directly opposes God and the Bible.

If God were a Liberal, we’d all be living in the Garden of Eden, where everything is free and nobody has to worry about making a living, and people have no knowledge.

Isn’t the UK version of “Democrat Liberal” more closer to Libertarian in our perspective, or am I wrong....?

We need to regrade the political parties based of ideology based on a 3 axis system.

Personal/Business Freedom: Maximum Liberty -——|-—— State Control of Everything
Government Size: Small Government -——|-—— Big Government
Foreign Intervention: Mind our own Business ——|—— World Affair Meddler

We should be calling the American liberals “Control Freak, Big Government, International Interventionist Meddlers”

Apparently this “minister” has never read Ecclesiastes 10:2.

I’m guessing his party did not boo God at their convention?

Steve Webb must not have ever read the Bible.

I wonder if he’s even heard of the Bible.

He is confusing God with Satan.

Exodus 20:7 “You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
