MTG is ridiculously stupid. The lady is obviously reaching in an effort to “own the Libs” but alas many of her followers actually believe this shit.
Please god, save me from your followers

If god doesn’t want people to do drugs why are there so many drugs?

When the Constitution was written, only land-owners could vote. The theory was that they were the responsible members of society and could be trusted with the important decisions. Eventually, universal suffrage allowed all adults to vote. But maybe we should go back to limiting who can vote - not based on money or land, but based on intellect. I don't know how it would work, but allowing people to vote who can barely read and have trouble with logic is killing America.

No Marj, according to Jesus the love of money is the root of all evil. Climate change is just one consequence of the love of money. It's also what got you elected.

So, she's saying that God is on the political left's side and not the right wing side? Who's gonna tell Republican Jesus?

If you could reason with her, she wouldn't be a Republican.

So was the hurricanes in FL, the flooding in FL, the heat in TX, the power failures in TX, because God don't like Republicans.

We had a similar rainstorm at burning man in 2014, but with TONS of lightning too. My camp is made up of escaped mormons from Utah. The worst of the storm was over us just about dawn. A deafening/blinding lightning bolt cracked right above our camp. Right after someone bellowed out "REPENT ALL YE SINNERS, YOUR TIME OF JUDGMENT IS UPON YOU!" A wave of laughter rolled out of everyones tents and trailers. One trailer in camp next door did get struck. Wonder what they did!?!?

For Lo God so Hated the Burning Man tribe they were made, muddy, had delayed travel, and nobody much got hurt. 🤔🤔🤔

How did someone so moronic reach such a high position of political power? It could never happen in Britain. Oh, hang on. Boris 'Effing' Johnson. Sorry America, I wasn't thinking.
JohnSmithterms
Reminds me of the priest that said the same thing about gays and then his house got flooded. Religious morons. God does fuck all on earth and allows babies to be murdered. If God exists then fuck god.

Marjorie is that crazy aunt you see at Thanksgiving, except if she somehow won the power of a congressional seat.
jrabbitmusic
“god” is just a comfort blanket for those who can’t handle the brutality and randomness of reality — shits fucked up and super scary but we’re all on this uncaring, unforgiving, non-special rock, hurling through space, together. Fucking act like it.

well then i'd like to thank this God fellow for driving out the influencers and preventing the weekend warriors. Everyone I know who went this year had a great time in the mud.

If there was a God and He was doling out punishment to sinners, most of congress and the senate would be electrocuted by lightning every time they went outside. And all rapists and murder-for-fun-ers. And grifters. Sorry for being so redundant.

Lol those folks love weather adversity. It's not and never was an emergency. I'm sure a few thousand tourists were uncomfortable but the core festival goers can and do prepare for this kind of thing.

Is THAT why Florida was hit by a hurricane...?
MileysVirus
Can't forget about the Hilary, unprecedented tropical storm that hit southern CA. Obviously, everyone living there are straight up heathens.
nojustsayitdont
Well, like, y'know man? It's like, not like that for Florida man. It's like, God spares lives in hurricanes, and the hurricanes are an end time thing, like, y'know what I'm saying man? So, like, you need to pick and choose the blame about disasters, y'know man? Like, all them good people in Florida God would never hurt, y'know what I'm saying?

Didn’t a tree fall on Desantis’ house too?
kbryant414
A tree split and part of it fell in his yard next to his mansion. All the headlines say 'on' but according to Ron himself, “I don’t know that it fell on like, the residence, per se. I think it was a little bit off to the side, so that’s gonna be cleared.” The governor added that if the whole oak tree has to be cut down and cleared, then “that’s just gonna be more room for my kids to hit baseballs in.”
Narwhilian
That wasn't God though. That was the Lorax, he speaks for the trees, and the trees say fuck Desantis

That's really fucking insulting. I mean there's ample archaeological evidence that neanderthals were intelligent hominids. There's no justification for comparing them to Empty-G.
paintingagency
Every paleolithic person had to be smart and observant enough to survive on the land, and trustworthy/reliable enough that their tribe could rely on them. MTG would not cut it.

And her act gets both sides talking about her - https://youtu.be/_PEo9U6UWdY?si=An0rpBuFpVbryyT4
tinyfootprints
It sounds like she is saying that God is siding with the liberals. Maybe she should think about the implications of that.
Stumpkiller
Look what God did to DeSantis and Florida. I’d say Florida must have been much more evil in God’s eyes than Burning Man. But, since God doesn’t take an active hand in natural events, it is pointless to try and interpret such things as “God’s Will”. Keep your Dark Ages primitive mindset to yourself.
porcubot
If I were looking for a sign from God that maybe we had made a mistake, the fucking Plague killing a million people after electing a con man to the highest office in the country would be it. But I'm an atheist and conservatives have no capacity for self-reflection, so here we are.

But the bible says that god promised not to flood the land again so like, isn't that against their religion
inkswitch11
not even jehovah could have imagined the evil that is burning man, it had to be stopped. covenant smuvanent

They don't care what their religion says. They care what they themselves say.

You have to cherry pick the book sweetie, else that 3000 years old pile of babylonian mythology makes zero sense.

Didn't he make that promise with a rainbow? I guess they just weren't being gay enough.

Also that it rains on the just and unjust alike. No surprise they're full o' shit.
Haiddon
it was specifically "destroy the earth with water" so technically no
CommentGuru
Hah! These people haven't read the Bible.
reichstein
I don't know about you, but I'm beginning to suspect that religion may not actually have 100% of the facts.
BreakablePotato
Promise was the entire world. Little bitty floods, tsunami, levee breaks etc are OK. We're supposed to appreciate the restraint.

Their god is allowed to lie. Ezekiel 26:31 “do as i say not as i do”

Don’t trust god. God is asshoe

Technically it says that the whole earth won’t be flooded again, not that there won’t be floods. Genesis 9:11 - “And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.”

Also, God doesn't do bad shit to test us James 1:13

Lmao, you think these people have read the bible?

Next: A fight between God’s rain and Jewish space lasers!
Burke616
Nah, they're gonna team up, to shoot space lasers through the rain to refract into rainbows to turn everyone gay. /s
AnonMasterRace
They gonna make rainbows.

Great idea for next year's art project! I have been wanting to do another. Hmmm
isetprettygirlsonfire
I already have an idea, and in your honor @FellaWithUmbrella I picture a giant man with a flamwthrowing umbrella who is eventually set alight one night by a jewish space laser! A star of david drone with a large laser beaming down!! And I already make flamethrower umbrellas, so the serendipity is perfect. You want in?
