They won’t venture into referring to themselves as outright atheists, but for the most part the concept of God to them is a fantasy made up by people who cling to their guns and religion. And beyond that the idea of praying to the guy in the sky is an act of silliness, practiced by foolish people who aren’t smart enough to know it’s a man-made fantasy. Sorta like Global Warming. Matters of faith are like Greek to these people. They simply can’t comprehend that God is real.
Herman Cain prayed to God as any person of faith would do when confronted with any decision big or small. The Bible teaches to be in a constant state of prayerfulness. For a Christian, it’s something that becomes second nature to all of us.
Cain spoke to a Republican group on Saturday and explained how he put the matter of deciding to run for president before the thrown of God as any other Christian would:
“I prayed and prayed and prayed. I’m a man of faith, I had to do a lot of praying for this one, more praying than I’d ever done before in my life. And when I finally realized that it was God saying that this is what I needed to do, I was like Moses. ‘You’ve got the wrong man, Lord. Are you sure?’” Cain told a crowd of over 100 people at the Young Republican National Federation.
Cain knows his Scripture because when God told Moses to go back to Egypt to free His people, Moses was very reluctant and gave God a list of why he couldn’t do it. The following Lefty bloggers, who I would guarantee don’t know a thing about the Bible let alone the Book of Exodus, pounced on Cain with the usual disdain for matters of faith:
The Moderate Voice
“That’s sort of weird, because if you’ve been following the Republican Presidential nomination race, Michele Bachmannz and Newt Gingrichz in varying ways also suggested God was egging them on,too. God egged them on and Republicans are egging them off.
And I’m sure that God also told Cain that the liberal media, the “Democrat machine,” Rick Perry’sz campaign and my pet cat Clawdette were all behind the four women coming out with sexual harassment allegations. Of one thing I’m pretty sure: God didn’t give Cain the recipe for Godfather’s Pizza.”
Do you see that lack of respect for a supreme being? What’s really funny is that the writer of the Moderate Voice thinks he’s just mocking Herman Cain. He’ll find out later.
Little Green Footballs
“One of the reasons Herman Cain often speaks of himself in the third person is because he has been selected by God Himself to run the United States.
When you’re in the same class as Moses, third person is the only way to go.”
Here the writer doesn’t understand that Herman Cain didn’t say that God selected him to run for president, but rather laid it in his heart that it was the right thing to do. And the same experience can be said about Michele Bachmann, or Newt Gingrich, or Rick Perry or any of the other Republicans candidates running for the presidency. No Christian running for the leader of the free world would decide to make that decision without praying about it like they’ve never prayed before. It’s totally understandable except for people with no faith in a higher power.
The Political Carnival
"How could God have told him to run if he told Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry to run, too? Ahhh, He must be messing with ‘em, which has clearly taken effect, because they’ve become the Three Stooges.
By the way, Hermie, he did get the wrong man.”
This guy is the most stupid of the three and requires no further explanation.
This kind of derision from the Left is nothing new. Us Christians are required to pray for those who persecute us. But, Jesus wisely said “They’re going to hate you, because they hated me first.” (John 15:18)
