In reading the bible, one has to wonder if God is a democrat or a republican. For example:

God fed the children of isreal with mana from the heavens (a social welfare program....democrat)
God took a firm stand against gay rights (republican)
God stood for strong law enforcement and harsh penalties in the old testament (repbulican)
God changed the laws in favor of forgiveness and reconcilliation in the new testament (democrat)

of course, God also commanded that 10% of everything be given to him, a high tax policy (both democrat and republican)

So...what can you come up with.....democrat or republican and why?

As for the Creator and the Divine: they are indifferent.

Nothing wrong with that, either.

The Old Testament God Jehovah is the New Testament Jesus.  He is also known as Michael.

He came as Jesus to be pushed around and give his life as a ransom for Adam.  Had they known who he was they would not have crucified Him and He could not have paid that ransom for sin.

This is not common knowledge yet, and they certainly do not teach this in the fake churches. Nor do they teach the idea that BDSM is fully acceptable to God.  The problem is male on male.  Female on female is hot.  3 ways are also good...2 females and  1 male.  But, most of you already know this.  www.sexinchrist.com

The phrase used to say gay is wrong actually translates (Loosely since it's been a couple of years since the Rabbit talked about this) to the fact that unnatural relations are wrong. But it doesn't specify what is an unnatural relation. Reconstructionists interpret this to mean that going against your true self is wrong, Hasids interpret it as gay is wrong. But these are interpretations by the rabbis, not part of the law.

How so?

1. She's as unpredictable as hell.

2. She expects you to believe without knowing all the facts.

3. She's been communicating with followers of three main religions but can somehow never get the story straight.

4. She never goes into therapy because she spends too much time talking with patients in psychiatric wards and inspiring them to dream.

5. She makes mistakes and causes accidents.

[Note: Not ALL women from California are like this and I'm not being 100% serious]

Not to be a killjoy but Leviticus disagrees:

Leviticus 18:21-23 (New International Version)

21 " 'Do not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molech, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.

22 " 'Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.

23 " 'Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is a perversion.


I didn't write the thing, but there it is. [edited for formatting]

Yes, but you are going under the idea that God is doing all of this, but from my understanding it was Jesus who fed the people fish, but I have never read a passage where he speaks out about gays. Now according to Paul, God has a problem with them, but no where can I find that Jesus even brought the subject up. The old testiment was all about God, no Jesus there, but he is in the new testiment.

So in conclusion, God is a republican and Jesus is the democrat in the family. At least by your examples gven.

It was a sickening perversion then and now. So was a few bishops refusing John Kerry communion.

Centuries of horrific abuse prompted the founders to be clear about keeping church out state.

Unfortunately, many of those escaping this abuse then became the abusers.

I would think people of faith would rise indignantly against such distortions, but clearly, the majority will embrace it instead, actively or passively.

When scholars one day write about the end of the American democracy experience, this will be among the primary themes.

God DRAWS comics, he doesn't just resell or read them.

Part of the "Creation" aspect, sadly.
