Metaphysic Storm

I hope that in the future my mouth catches up with my keyboard. Sad Rabbit.

I was shot from the Bunker with: “What do I think about Hagee withdrawing his endorsement of John and McCain denouncing John. Even though McCain fought for his endorsement in March; you will recall that Huckabee was also in the race at the time… Huckabee also fought for the endorsement but McCain won”

Unfortunately I didn’t remember who Huckabee was. I’m bad with names and have uncontrollable brain freezes when idiots run for office. Huckabee has stated in the past, “Politics are totally directed by worldview. That’s why when people say, ‘We ought to separate politics from religion,’ I say to separate the two is absolutely impossible”. Huckabee believes in biblical inerrancy, which is that the bible in its original form is totally without error. Obviously I have a permafrost problem.

John Hagee recently said of McCain’s denouncement, “I’m tired of these baseless attacks of fear; they have become a distraction in what should be a debate about important issues. I have therefore decided to withdrawal my endorsement of senator McCain and remove myself from any active role in the 2008 campaign.” But John stated that he had renounced, repudiated, Hagee’s comments and already rejected the endorsement. I’m still a little confused about the egg. In the past Hagee has said some controversial things, such as the holocaust’s point was to drive the Jews to Palestine and Catholicism is the great Ho. Who’s on first is still a mystery to those who care about Chickens.

What do I think about the endorsements/dénouements? I think presidential candidates should pass notes to the people they seek approval from. On that note should be the words “Do you like me, check yes or no.” Once the box is checked there’s no going back, the two are either enemies or officially BFF.

Voting because of an endorsement, which works or they wouldn’t do it, means that the voter doesn’t trust their own judgment about the candidate but trust the endorser’s judgment. Religious endorsements are so powerful because in the church people put blind faith in the “book of ultimate truth” and the interpreter of it. After all, if a person is going to trust a pastor to keep them from the fiery pits of eternal torture, a factless and baseless attack of fear, wouldn’t the sheeple trust the pastors choice for president? Celebrity endorsements slam me to the floor. Why anyone would care who an actor, a person trained in creating deception, votes for, is beyond my comprehension.

I actually think that Huckabee’s statement about the impossibility of separating government from religion is a far more of an outlandish statement than the realist ate prize the original Abrahamites got via the holocaust or the truth about the Catholic Church being the Biggest of Big Daddy’s pimps. Hagee obviously just doesn’t understand that Cui bono is not proof of anything but he does seem to understand how to use Protestant fear of Catholicism to fill pews and his pockets.

The blog bunker said, “This plays into the larger point of what this conversation was supposed to be, in that, should a candidates faith really matter… Why has religion exploded in the 08 elections?”

A person’s faith should matter because of what that faith will cause a person to do. Most American Christians have no problem understanding why a “radical” Muslim’s beliefs should matter, if that Man were to run for president. But Christians see their faith as important for politicians because they believe that Jesus invented the golden rule. Thus to be a good person you must be a least a “little” Christian. The golden rule existed long before Jesus stepped onto the stage and actually existed in a far more refined passive form from Confucius, “What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others”

True followers of Christ should not vote, leaving those things to the heathens. And take god off of our means of trade. Jesus said, “Whose head is on this fucking coin?” The people who wouldn’t think for themselves answered, “The Imperadør’s.” Then Jesus said, “That’s right, gods omnipresence does not extend to metal. Give therefore to the Imperadør the things that are the Imperadør’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” -Matthew 22. Perhaps I’m confused; maybe Jesus was telling his flock to vote for atheists, god’s will doesn’t need votes.

If everyone were non pagans we’d all wear magic cloths made of daisies and trade in pebbles. We would live in beautiful secular anarchy with magic stores full of free shit. Everyone would have a food replicator from the Starship Enterprise. Jesus said, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them… “And why do you [even] worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ or ‘who should we vote for’ for the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.” -Matthew 6

I wish I would have had a little breifing befor the interview.
