There's a whole page in the platform devoted to a discussion of "Faith" and the Republicans whipped up their usual media firestorm because it didn't use the word they chose, and then the convention had to pause to re-edit the platform to shut down a stupid Republican media firestorm. I'd have booed too.

So sick of rightwing Christians trying to impose their version of God on everyone. Their version of God loves waging wars, doesn't care about the poor and the sick (every man for themselves!), and hates gay people.

I think democrats need to realize there was a football game on last night. I highly doubt the clinton speech changes the election.

Especially not when Obama was already going to win by 50+ electoral votes. All the Obama campaign has to do is not f*** things up.

I really enjoyed a few months ago (pre-VP pick) when Colbet slammed Paul Ryan for correlating his Catholicism with his fiscal policy...going as far as bringing what seemed to be a socialist nun to slam him further for speaking on behalf of the church.

Is it true they booed God? I'm so sick of the country not believing in God anymore. Geez.

I think religion had a nice long run.

I agree, but that's where having a former president with an almost 70% approval ratings will help us. Obama gonna unleash Bubba on the battleground states from here to election day, I'm sure he can deliver enough white working class votes to the Obama column to win a majority of those states...

 

We got this.

I'm a conservative Christian/Republican and that's not my version of God. God is basically all that is good.

It ain't dead yet. Although IMO we've offended God enough.

You always had this. Obama in a landslide.

I've seen a website or two where I can't tell if people realize that, but otherwise, do a lot of people pretend it will?

That's rather convenient. And by "all that is good" you mean your definition of "all that is good" and no one else's.

Whenever I think of heaven I think of this, courtesy of Biggie via Suicidal Thoughts

 

When I die, f*** it I wanna go to hell

'Cause I'm a piece of s***, it ain't hard to f***in' tell

It don't make sense, goin' to heaven wit the goodie-goodies

Dressed in white, I like black Tims and black hoodies

 

God will probably have me on some real strict s***

No sleepin' all day, no gettin' my dick licked

Hangin' with the goodie-goodies loungin' in paradise

f*** that s***, I wanna tote guns and shoot dice

Well I guess my definition of good is the normal definition of good. God is good I guess would mean having the qualities of the best father you know. Why don't people care about God anymore? Crazy world we live in. Kudos to the Democrats for returning God to their platform.

Why do you care if I do?

I don't "care" about God, because I don't believe "God" exists.

 

The only God I know of is named Michael Jordan.

I just find it funny the overemphasis on the day-to-day in political campaigns where the beltway acts like everyone is focusing on politics because all of their friends and neighbors do.

DC Villagers are the scourge of the Earth and should purged.

Is it true they booed God? I'm so sick of the country not believing in God anymore. Geez.

 

God and the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy and Bigfoot are all pretty pissed at the non-believers.

 

haha yes.

 

you.are.going.to.hell

God is a petulant child, apparently.

he also hates the Foo Fighters, just like I do. And guess who is playing right now at the Democrat Convention...

GOD LOVES DAVE GROHL

Let's do this voice vote one more time. I actually felt embarrassed for Vilar Raigossa. If you are going to ram the vote through, why do it three times? And by the way what man takes the surname of his wife?

 

Don't knock it. Seriously. There's some people that have some damn good reasons for doing it.

Why do you care if I do?

I don't. I just think it's a shame many people believe there is no God. I believe there is a higher power in charge of all of us. I believe in a Christian way of life and believe that without God there is nothing. You can believe whatever you want obviously as can I.

Many of us in America believe God has nothing to do with the Tooth Fairy and Bigfoot but for some reason we can be mocked openly without scorn of others. It's amazing how people mock believers all the time and these same people would dare not mock other groups for their beliefs. I believe God is in control.

You are inconsistent in your statements. You say you don't care what others believe, but the very next thing you post laments that too few people believe in God (i.e., you care what others think). It's not true, btw. A distressing recent Gallup poll noted that 45% of Americans have a basically creationist belief system, while another 35% believe in a God-directed evolutionary scheme (talk about a contradiction), and only 15% of Americans accept a secular view of organic evolution. Basically, the Goddies far outnumber the nonbelievers in America, no matter how loudly the poor persecuted believers insist otherwise.
