Two . . .

http://clipart-library.com/two-cliparts.html

. . . suggestions from which to choose .Mssrs. Pompeo and Barr,
Either apply your moralizations to the current commander-in-chief, without exception, or stop your digressive and devolutionary pontifications.

(from usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/10/14/state-dept-website-promotes-mike-pompeo-speech-critics-decry/3980544002/)
". . . Pompeo . . . (touted). . . Christianity throughout the remarks, describing how he applies his faith to his government work, referencing God and the Bible during the entirety of the speech. . . Attorney General William Barr, also gave a speech on religion on Friday, decrying secularism as a root of some of society's problems, including drug overdoses, mental health issues, and violence. . ."

(from https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Christopher_Hitchens)
Faith is the surrender of the mind; it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other mammals. It's our need to believe, and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated.

Any . . .

. . . sane adult. . .

. . . could only LAUGH at this story . . .

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/pompeo-suggests-god-sent-trump-save-israel-n986136)
". . . Secretary of State Mike Pompeo suggested in a televised interview Thursday that God may have sent President Donald Trump to Earth to protect Israel. . . .Pompeo made the remarks in an interview with Christian Broadcasting Network, or CBN, in Jerusalem, where he visited the Western Wall with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. . .When the interview turned to Iranian aggression in the Middle East, Pompeo was asked whether he thought "President Trump right now has been sort of raised for such a time as this, just like Queen Esther, to help save the Jewish people from the Iranian menace." . . . "As a Christian, I certainly believe that's possible," Pompeo responded. . ."

Careful . . .

. . . thought

(from Thomas Jefferson; The Art of Power by Jon Meacham)
". . . Later he told his nephew that religion required careful thought, not reflexive acceptance. "Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear.". . . "

Amen . . .

(https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/trump-s-evangelical-fans-preach-gospel-greed-not-grace-ncna811046)
". . . Trump went before the annual Values Voter Summit and declared America "a country that never forgets that we are all, everyone one of us, by the very same God in heaven." In the name of Jesus, Trump vowed to "stop cold the attacks on Judeo-Christian values." But the Values Voter Summit, hosted by the anti-abortion, anti-gay Family Research Council, no more represents Jesus than did the church authorities who backed slavery. . ."

Image . . .

(from https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/3956.Christopher_Hitchens)
"God did not create man in his own image. Evidently, it was quite the other way about, which is the painless explanation for the profusion of gods and religions, and the fratricide both between and among faiths, that we see all about us and that has so retarded the development of civilization."

Lest We . . .

. . . forget . . .

. . . there was another pope, in our lifetime, with the same potential as Pope Francis. Tragic story though. . .

(from http://www.nairaland.com/3339/murder-name-god-slaying-pope)

Pope John Paul I died only 33 days into his Pontificate (August 26, 1978 - September 28, 1978). It was one of the shortest reigns in the annals of the papacy. The official cause of death was myocardial infarction (a heart attack). But there was a great deal of confusion in the details of his sudden death, and many were crying - murder!

The "Smiling Pope," as he was affectionately called was born Albino Luciani on October 17, 1912 near Belluno, Italy. He was ordained in 1935, made Bishop in 1958 and became patriarch of Venice in 1969. He received his cardinal's hat in 1973. He was a staunch believer in ecumenism and the reduction of Church wealth. He was warm, humble and had no aspirations for the papacy. After Pope Paul VI died, Luciani was elected on the second day of the Conclave in 1978. He refused to wear the papal tiara or to be carried in the gestatorial chair. He was praised as a liberal reformer who read Mark Twain. He was on a mission to reverse the Church's position on contraception, cleaning up the Vatican bank and dismissing many Masonic cardinals.

Bears . . .

. . . repeating. . .

(from NBCNews.com) ". . . The following are Dr. Kent Brantly's prepared remarks given at a news conference at Emory University Hospital in August 2014, provided by his charity Samaritan's Purse:

"Today is a miraculous day. I am thrilled to be alive, to be well and to be reunited with my family. . . We moved to Liberia because God called us to serve the people of Liberia. . . As I lay in my bed in Liberia for the following nine days, getting sicker and weaker each day, I prayed that God would help me to be faithful even in my illness, and I prayed that in my life or in my death, He would be glorified. . . I have learned since, that there were thousands, maybe even millions of people around the world praying for me throughout that week, and even still today. . . what I can tell you is that I serve a faithful God who answers prayers. . . God saved my life — a direct answer to thousands and thousands of prayers. . . with the love and mercy of Jesus Christ. . . Please do not stop praying for the people of Liberia and West Africa. . . I am forever thankful to God for sparing my life . . . "

Guess the Doc never thought science, nature, germs and choices had ANYTHING to do with it, or why for that matter, his God chose him over the many Liberian folks who, presumably without the thousands of 'prayers' HE received, did happen to die.

True . . .

. . . or not (just can't trust everything you read on the internet), it sure is funny!!

(Thanks to http://www.rawstory.com/2014/02/tom-delay-people-keep-forgetting-that-god-wrote-the-constitution/)
“I think we got off the track when we allowed our government to become a secular government,” DeLay explained. “When we stopped realizing that God created this nation, that he wrote the Constitution, that it’s based on biblical principles.”

Money . . .

(from http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/gop-megadonor-compares-trump-to-biblical-figures/ar-AAhPvV6?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=iehp)
" . . . A multimillionaire GOP donor is comparing Donald Trump to Biblical figures like King David in an effort to woo conservatives, according to a new report. . . Mutual fund investor Foster Friess wrote a letter to supporters drawing parallels between Trump and heroes of Christianity, The Washington Examiner reported Thursday. . ."[All] throughout history, God has harnessed imperfect people to fulfill his perfect will," Friess said in his message before citing some examples. "King David sent Bathsheba's husband, Uriah, off to the front lines in hopes he would be killed so David could play cozy with the guy's wife.". . . Friess says in his letter he would advise "a principled evangelical Christian woman" to back Trump despite concerns about the businessman's moral fiber. It adds conservatives must rally around Trump following sacrifices the real estate tycoon has made for them. . ."

God . . .

(from http://thegoodlordabove.com/articles/details/236)
". . . God held a press conference today to demand that the United States of America remove the words ‘In God We Trust’ from their national currency. . . “It's like they’re trying to shame Me into always keeping them safe and rich,” said God. “Why are you putting all this on Me? God bless you, God bless America, in God we blah blah blah…just leave Me alone, you freaks”. . . Republicans in Congress have attacked God’s statement as being unpatriotic and blasphemous. . . God has given Congress 10 days to pass legislation removing the phrase ‘In God We Trust’ from US currency. If not the USA may be in store for several plagues. . . I will strike with a plague of . . . voting irregularities, a plague of horrible presidential candidates, and a plague of unforgivably stupid idiots! SMITE!” . . . "

Why . . .

(from http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/gop-candidates-call-prayers-calf-massacre-article-1.2453261)
". . . Prayers aren’t working. White House hopefuls on the Democratic side of the aisle called for stricter gun laws in the wake of the shooting in San Bernardino that left at least 14 dead. But after yet another mass shooting in America, GOP presidential contenders were conspicuously silent on the issue of gun control. Instead, the Republicans were preaching about prayer. . . “Our prayers are with the victims, their families, and the first responders in San Bernardino who willingly go into harm’s way to save others,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) tweeted. . .Democrats — even those not running for office — slammed the GOP presidential candidates for offering prayers instead of action. . . “Your ‘thoughts’ should be about steps to take to stop this carnage,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn) posted on Twitter. “Your ‘prayers’ should be for forgiveness if you do nothing — again. . . My heart aches for the people of San Bernardino,” he said. “I cannot express the profound sadness I feel each time a new community grieves and endures the same pain that brought Newtown to its knees three years ago this month.” . . .

Fingers . . .

(from http://thinkexist.com/quotes/with/keyword/fingers/)
“Your heart just breaks, that's all. But you can't judge, or point fingers. You just have to be lucky enough to find someone who appreciates you.”
-Audrey Hepburn

“The two most misused words in the entire English vocabulary are love and friendship. A true friend would die for you, so when you start trying to count them on one hand, you don't need any fingers.”
-Larry Flynt

“On the other hand, you have different fingers.”
-Stephen Wright

“When a man points a finger at someone else, he should remember that four of his fingers are pointing at himself.”
-Louis Nizer

“Every man's life is a fairy tale written by God's fingers”
- Hans Christian Andersen

“Love is like quicksilver in the hand. Leave the fingers open and it stays. Clutch it, and it darts away.”
-Dorothy Parker
