OK Rep: Federal Regulations Are Against God’s Law

Did you know that governments and courts don’t make laws?  Yes according to Christian Nationalist trying to turn our democracy into their church doctrine theocracy.  These are the people running that state.  The state where Nex Benedict was bullied to death.  Hugs.  Scottie

March 14, 2024 Christianists, Extremists

 

“The government doesn’t make the law. The people rise up, power rises up from the people and the people make the law. And that law should be in accordance with God’s word and the conscience. And these federal laws are restricting both of those things. So when this authority – namely the federal government – commands what God has forbidden or has not required, second – whenever it forbids what God commands or has not forbidden, third – whenever it oversteps its constitutional jurisdiction, or fourth – binds the conscience that God alone has jurisdiction, we – those who are their authority – we are the authority for the federal government in this situation, we are not to obey them whenever they take tyrannical action.” – Rabidly Christian nationalist Oklahoma state Sen. Dusty Deevers.

The problem with this extremist is that he doesn’t understand Scripture. The Bible is a set of rules for the person reading it. In other words, it tells ME how I should behave. It’s not meant to be something you force on everyone else. And this is what the theo-fascists don’t understand.

It goes beyond not understanding scripture. They haven’t read the Bible. Many of them seldom attend church. Their familiarity with scripture begins and ends with a few key clobber passages they use to hurt other people. They don’t really believe in the teachings of Jesus. How could they? They don’t even know what he said. For them, Christianity is a weapon they wield to force their will onto other people.

If God has a problem with federal regulations, She can complain directly. Now shut up.

Even if God complains directly, she gets one vote, like the rest of us.

There’s an old Jewish joke about four rabbis who’d regularly get together to debate various religious points. Without fail, the same three would end up agreeing against the fourth, who’d shrug and say, “Three to one, majority rules.”

One day, the fourth rabbi wasn’t willing to accept his opinion being wrong, and prayed for a sign from God that he was right. Out of a clear sunny day, black clouds suddenly gathered above the four of them, then dispersed. “You see! You see? It’s a sign! I’m right!” The other three dismissed it as a chance weather occurence.

Again he prayed for a sign, a bigger sign that would convince the other three that he was right. Again clouds gathered out of nowhere, darkening the sky and raining all around, but not on, the rabbis. After a minute they dispersed and the bright sunshine returned. Once again the other three dismissed it as a random weather happening.

So a third time he prayed for a sign, an unmistakable sign that the other three couldn’t deny. No sooner did he finish than thunderclouds gathered, rained around but not on them, multicolored lightning flashed around them, the ground shook, and a voice boomed from the heavens, “HE’S RIGHT!”

After the sun returned, the vindicated rabbi asked the others, “Nu?” “Well?”

“Well what? Now it’s three to two.”

    1. Hi MDavis. Yes true. He cherry picks what he wants his god to be. He loves him some good old fashion hate, bigotry, anger, vengeance, and lots of smiting. He especially loves the smiting parts because he wants to be the chief smiter. That shows who these people really are. They are not … followers of the biblical Christ, they are simply bullies and mean hateful people. I love people like Rev. Ed Trevors. He recently said that the god he follows and worships is far more than the bible. He admitted that the bible was wrong in parts and said it shouldn’t be taken literally. Yet we have those fundamentalist hate preachers who enjoy the hate more than they like the love. IMO. Hugs. Scottie
