Religious Right Including Members Of Congress Pray For God To Stop The Health Care Bill

hey, that's a great idea: the republicans should stop eating.

These people are the American Taliban.

I can't believe in the 21st century, in the most technologically advance culture in the world, there are so many people who believe in this barbaric childish fantasies.

I saw this last night . .

To WHOM are these hypocrites praying? Certainly not anyone's G-O-D . .

What has this country become??? Really . .

PRAYING that human beings are denied AFFORDABLE healthcare . .

It is, of course, clear beyond need of explanation that God insists that insurance companies be free to reject applicants on the basis of pre-existing conditions. I also recall quite clearly (although I cannot seem to find the proof-text at the moment) where in the Bible the Lord instructs that tort-reform is an indispensable element of any reform effort and that one must be as harsh as possible on illegal immigrants. I have not looked, but I am also fairly certain that the book of Leviticus specifies in intricate detail how abortion insurance can and cannot be funded.

I don't remember Jesus asking those he cured if they had insurance before healing them...

i think i've been misreading my Bible all these years...where I thought it said "Have compassion for those less fortunate" it obviously (according to the right) reads " Have CONTEMPT for those less fortunate"

Well, we all know that God prefers insurance corporations to people. Of course He wants to defeat this bill!

Personally I'm stunned by the flag clothing.
Doesn't that desecrating the flag?
And if you don't respect the flag, it must then follow that you hate our troops.

I say we need to get these fascist clowns caught up in a petty circular argument just like this. And keep them off guard - forever.

"Please Lord, allow us to die of the pre-existing conditions You so graciously and generously gave us!"

(Including, apparently, the pre-existing condition of "stupidity.")

Is that all it takes to get the religious right on your side, telling them "health care = socialism = godless communism"?

I think I've just learned that God has nothing to do with Jesus? Can't think of any other reason for these people. They are evil monsters as far as I'm concerned and should be struck dead for daring to invoke God's name in their vendetta. The short and sweet of what they want is to kill people, plain and simple. Unfortunately, they're "preaching" to the ignorant and uninformed, who may actually believe the venom they spew.

For some reason, I don't believe God wants people to die so that greedy, hate-filled, Godless hypocrits can have their way - unless God has recently invested in healthcare stocks.

Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) gave a video message, hearkening back to the Pilgrim Puritans for their use of the Bible as a direct guide for the conduct of government: "We could learn from the Pilgrims by understanding that the Bible is not just a book of how to be nice to people, it is an entire blueprint for the way civilization can be structured."

Spoken like a true religious fascist. It was Christian conversion offered to the "Praying Indians" at the end of a gun that caused the Wampanoag to resort to guerilla war that nearly wiped out the Puritans in Massachusetts. Unfortunately, Metacom (King Phillip)'s forces were already depleted from years of the ravages of European diseases that accompanied the invaders, making the native assaults fail after a few months. Had there been the fuller number of native warriors that had been around some 50 years earlier, this Puritan bullshit wouldn't be spouted in the halls of Congress today. The Pilgrim understanding of "the white man is the harbinger of death" still oozes from the mouths of these hypocrits with just as potent a sting.

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Just wanted to note that nowhere in the Bible is there an explicit condemnation of abortion. However, the Bible does pretty clearly damn to hell those who fail to love neighbor as self, those who bear false witness against neighbor, and those who fail to care for "the least of these" in our communities. And Jesus is pretty clear that love for neighbor extends to enemies (e.g., Jews loving Samaritans), not just those who are part of our gated community.

Jim DeMint is the scariest person in America.

Along with a group from my parish, I'm making a Perpetual Novena FOR Health Care Reform

So there

I hope that they focus their attentions on the money changers a little more though I thought this lord made the heaven and the Earth and everything that walketh and breatheth therein. So tell me again what prayer is for, to further this lords putpose on this land? I thought prayer was meant for worship not coercion, and anyway why does he need your help to further his purpose. Wait, I know, you think your god.

You know...these God loving people...when did Christianity or LORD LOVE 'EM Jesus every sanction LYING???? I was raised in the Judeo-Christian ethic and THEIR god sure isn't MY god...hmmmmmmmmmm.

Sadly, they have all been bought and paid for, its the AMerican way!

Wow, that is powerful stupid. And America sinks ever deeper into laughing-stock territory.

Kindest regards to your invisible friend, oh neighbours to the south.
