23. "God hardened Pharoah's heart..."

Gees, Louise!

Why won't these Bible people stop? Yahweh does everything?

Okay! 'Splain the 2012 election, Lucy!

Maybe God hardened people's hearts against Mitt. But if Romney, like GWBUSH, was God's candidate, how could he lose?

Must've been the Mormon thing! (Just waiting for that excuse -- won't hold my breath.)

When one challenges them on these things, they inevitably collapse to "God's will be done." and God's will is unknowable.

Fine. As an atheist I can agree. But you guys spend a lot of effort, money, and political baggage saying that you do know God's will. It's a bunch of bullshit to me, and apparently many others.

If God's will is so mysterious, why don't you be honest and call yourselves agnostics?
