Vote for Obama, Go To Hell

[meegbear]

In her latest column, Janet Porter warns all those Christians who intend to vote for Barack Obama that they are willfully disobeying God and will be punished accordingly:

To all those who name the name of Christ who plan to willfully disobey Him by voting for Obama, take warning. Not only is our nation in grave danger, according to the Word of God, so are you ... (T)his election is not about race. It's not about the economy. It's about obeying God.

...

Be forewarned: If you willfully disobey God on life and marriage because of race or false hope for the economy, you will usher in the kind of change that brought the Soviet Union to collapse.

But the warning goes far beyond that. To those who think that God's grace gives them license to willfully disobey Him without consequences – think again:

Not everyone who says to Me, "Lord, Lord," shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, "Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?" And then I will declare to them, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!" (Matthew 7:21-23)

That deals with your eternity.

That's right - if you vote for Obama, you are going straight to hell.

In Porter's view, you have a relatively simple choice: either vote for McCain or stop calling yourself a Christian:

To those who call themselves by the name of Christ who ignore what God says about life and marriage, who and are clinging to a fantasy of economic gain, think again ... Then obey Him in the voting booth and out of it. If not, do us all a favor and quit calling yourself a Christian.

1. That sort of bullying has turned more people away from religion

than any other tactic. I hope that, by extension, it turns people away from the GOP.

[gollygee]

2. Eventually, there will be backlash against these right-wing churches

I know of a few fundamentalists who are getting tired of being told whom to vote for. One friend quit her church recently over it.

3. I would have to ask her where in the bible it declares who I vote for

If I recall there is something about religious leaders being involved in politics (not what it calls it) is forbidden. Someone with better bible knowledge than me will have to look it up to verify.

4. I've already voted not only for Obama but also for gay marriage

God is really going to be pissed, even more so when he finds out I don't acknowledge his existence.

I wonder, will he smite us individually or as a group?

15. Maybe we can get neighboring apartments in hell.

Something nice that overlooks the Lake of Fire, for example.

5. i am a christian. i voted for obama. i'm not sure what gives her the supposed

authority to tell me, first of all, whether or not i'm going to hell. that's between me and god. beyond that, i think god's gonna be pretty ticked off at her for using his name to further her own political agenda. i think that's called using it in vain.

6. If churches are going to be part of the political process...

they should pay taxes.

[sellitman]

7. The Christian Taliban has spoken.

The idiots who go along with this warped reasoning were never voting Democratic anyhow.

8. How dare these people

If Porter actually read her Bible she'd know she'll be the first one to be cast from Paradise's door for this arrogance. She's an idolater and her God is herself.

9. WWJD?

Probably pray for "Christians" like Janet Porter.

[Deep13]

10. The decision is ours, not god's.

Anyone who would let a church tell him or her how to vote might as well have a king.

11. What!

See this is why I have problems with the "Bible". Whenever someone doesn't like something you are doing or they want to have a way in shaping the way you think, they go and find something in the "Bible to support their nonsense to support what they want you to do and say see it's in the "Bible". If you continue with this your soul is going to burn in hell:thumbsdown:

[Poseidan]

12. i wrote a Bible too

It says the exact opposite.

[angstlessk]

13. FUCK the economy...we all know god wants pat robertson et al to have ALL THE MONEY

shit like I even have to think about it..the only thing I have control over is ..who the hell who gets married to..and forcing women to have babies...other than that, it's up to god!

[guitar man]

14. well then

16. Blasphemer! Janet Porter, YOU are not "God".

[Coyote_Bandit]

17. Who the hell

is Janet Porter?

And why should I give a damn what she thinks?



Me thinks she reads a different Bible than the rest of us.

[msanthrope]

18. Perfect--spread it far and wide, so that every single self-respecting

undecided and independent will lean more towards sanity.....

19. WWJJD

What would Joan Jett do?
