That sure sounds an awful lot like an excuse. I hear that a lot lately. In fact, I hear excuses every time the GOP allows crap like this to happen.
First, God isn’t going to appear and fix this. I wish he would, but he isn’t. Accept it.
Second, WE made the mess by empowering the liberalization of the GOP. Accept it.
Third, if you want to make this a religious issue every time the GOP does either nothing or the wrong thing, I’d ask if you prefer working towards purity or CONTINUING to empower corruption.
You fundamentally misunderstand, and the only excuse here seems to be yours.
I think of last time around in the presidential primaries. Newt Gingrich. He had gotten serious enough in his faith life to switch churches because of a tie he believed it had to God. Now to me — and I will robustly stand up for Baptist practice in the main, with a few quibbles — that says more important than what church it was (he went from Baptist to Catholic).
But oh, the pissing and moaning over Gingrich’s past miscues and flirtations that went on. He ended up getting passed over for the even spiritually weaker Mitt Romney, and a last minute rally failed to overcome the foxy Democrat ballot stuffing.
Man, wouldn’t you give almost anything to have a President Gingrich right now? Whatever you can fault him for, shyness wasn’t it. He would likely not have faded after one obligatory stellar debate, trying to please everybody like Mitt did.
God is teaching us lessons. Will we listen? And yeah, “religion” if you must. Religion that doesn’t DO anything is a farce!
We made it possible by staying home or not voting in the presidential election. IF you are one of these then I will blame you. IF you are not then I hope you are getting MORE active not less
