Tea Party-backed U.S. Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell said in an interview published online this week that God is guiding the trajectory for her campaign.

"God continued to strengthen and empower us when, you know, his strength is perfected in our weakness," explained the Senate hopeful to Jennifer Wishon at the Christian Broadcasting Network. "Because you see that if it weren't for faith, when all logic said it's time to quit, we pursued, we marched on, because we knew God was not releasing us to quit."

O'Donnell, who is facing off against Democrat Chris Coons in Delaware's general election, called the spiritual phenomenon "exciting."

The remarks bare resemblance to comments made by Nevada GOP Senate candidate Sharron Angle earlier this year. During an interview that took place in July she said, "I believe that God has been in this from the beginning and because of that when he has a plan and a purpose for your life and you fit into that, what he calls you to he always equipped you for."

4. God must have told her that he gave her that break on her taxes also. n/t

[rucky]

5. WTF does that even mean?

I have a degree in English and for the life of me, I can't read fundie.

13. It means Jesus forgives all her sins, and Gawd wants her to run and WIN!!1111!!!

That covers the "weakness" parts with Jayzus (I assume that's referring to her dabbling in witchcraft, booze, unholy sex and masturbation).

But Gawd, the almighty has told her to push on dammit! Even in the face of adversity, she must push on....

(translation provided by lapsed fundie from 40+ years ago so forgive any potential errors por favor).

See, the fundies speak in an entirely different code - you can sin and sin and sin but if you turn to Jayzus, and show him you are sincere in your repentance Gawd will LIFT you up!!!111111!!! And conquer your adversaries!!!111!!!!

Your degree in English means nothing when confronted with fundie-speak. Sorry.

6. From witchcraft to letting God guide her......

This is a lady of strange beliefs and some major contradictions....

[Lost-in-FL]

7. Anyone here has a translator for "stupid"? nt

[riderinthestorm]

15. Oooh! OOOh! I am!! Former fundie here!!

Her weaknesses are transformed by Jayzus's miraculous powers through forgiveness and the blood of the cross so she has been annointed by Gawd himself to take on the demon Senate.

Course, I haven't been a fundie for more than 40 years but the childhood memories are strong.... like the force was strong in young Luke Skywwalker, you never forget.

I'm telling you, if she wins, it will be batshit crazy in fundie-land. O'Donnell speaks in the tongues of the batshit crazy fundie and they love her. There's noone who can understand who hasn't traversed this particular desert to read their "code".

9. She has run for the Senate three times in the last five years.

She needs a God with a better batting average. But stealing those campaign funds for her personal use indicates that her God has "equipped" her well to be a grifter.

[POAS]

10. If you masturbate you'll go blind, if you don't

you'll end up like Christine O'Donnell. Your choice!

Now if you'll excuse me I have to find my glasses.

11. You know, God supposedly was saying the same thing to Pat Robertson back in 1988

Maybe, since you have such a close relationship with Him, you should sit down and ask him, "C'mon... are you just pulling my leg, dude?"

14. Pretty arrogant to think that God would even give a shit about

her campaign.

[intaglio]

16. If she has used campaign funds for other purposes

I think she must be a "once saved - always saved," fundie

Edit for clarity
