"Marriage has got historic, religious and moral content that goes back to the beginning of time, and I think a marriage is as a marriage has always been, between a man and a woman. But I also believe that people in committed gay marriages, as they believe them to be, should be given rights under the law that recognize and respect their relationship."

Whose God? Christian, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism?

Power as strong as Hitler and Mao. An iron fist of global power. Straight quote, "Jesus plus nothing." And they advocated a warrior Jesus or, in their words, "a muscular Jesus." Not one who preaches peace and love but one who wields a sword.

A George Bush kind of Jesus.

They're scary Dominionests and if you haven't done your research on them, then you're speaking from a place of ignorance

Is she some kind of known Christian pastor, I missed how she was introduced.

Clinton plant or no, it was funny how visibly beatified she seemed to be after Sanders's answer.

Sun Mar 6, 2016, 11:09 PM
Mar 2016

is it the will of God for God's will to be known?

if so, do prayers to God make God more likely to make that will known? if that were the case, then how is it God's will in the first place?

Or I'm failing to be funny.

I don't know if this God business was supposed to be a trap for Sanders but he handled it in a divine matter - including the follow-up ambush from Andy Capp about Judaism. I was thinking, yes, wrapped up the liberal Christians and the Jewish vote in one go. If the message gets through. What were the ratings, the ratings? No one's talking about their dick size!

Sun Mar 6, 2016, 11:36 PM
Mar 2016

My understanding was that God's will was supposed to be for us to have free will, not guess what "the Family" thinks is Gods will, or what an imaginary voice in my head's will is.

I guess I got the free will thing wrong, good thing I moved on after my Catholic school indoctrination.

I don't want to guess at what any voices in my head mean, hell, I don't want to hear voices, the doctors say that is an illness!

Besides, I thought Hilary prayed to this God?
