So let's be clear: Louis Gohmert thinks God has been protecting the U.S. all this time, but NOW will stop doing so? So God was cool with us when we were killing indigenous people, enslaving Africans, lynching them, segregating them, etc. -- God never withdrew "his protection" for any of THOSE things -- but NOW because of marriage equality, we're to be abandoned by that same God? Observation 1: Louis Gohmert is an idiot and unfit to make laws. Observation 2: If there is a God who actually thinks marriage equality is a bigger sin than slavery, genocide, lynching and racial oppression, that God is a stone asshole, and I say good riddance.

3. God will stop ‘protecting’ the US

Thank the Fathers god was there protecting us during the Civil War..... Pearl Harbor.... or 9/11.... or the times when the economy was deliberately ruined by rich crooks.








(if you believe in magic and supernatural solutions to problems, should you be in important government positions?)

4. God is evil resolves some core theological problems.

5. But will he still protect a few special people in natural disasters?

Or will tornados now kill everyone in the path? Will every person, believer and non-believer, now be doomed?

For the love of god, get a grip!

6. Louie is hinting he might run for President

Gawww-leeeee.

Both of your observations are spot on.

Louie is just another who shamelessly uses God to condemn his political opponents, hoodwink his consti-chee-ints, and advance his own career.

I have a feeling that Louie would be included in Donald Trump's definition of "stupid" politicians.

8. Even if religion doesn't poison everything

It poisons most things far worse than anything else possibly could. Something its consistent defenders in the Religion group live in blithe denial of.
