Anybody else suddenly getting the "put your trust in God, not man" emails from your fundie
relatives? I just got my second one. Gee, which man are they trying to say not to trust, I wonder? I think they're trying to lick their wounds with Dr Dobson's Self-Righteous Salve.

And since He allowed Obama to be elected, I'm not going to question His judgment.

3. Where did I say you couldn't trust God?
The point of my post is that they're implying that suddenly... now... gosh, maybe since November 4th... it's not alright to trust in a man, too.

4. It wasn't a response to you. More to the fundie assumption that there's a conflict in doing both.
Sorry for not being clear.

5. No, my bad for jumping to conclusions.
Yes, I agree - they think there is a conflict in doing both, but only when it's convenient for them. They sure trusted Dubya and McCain.

13. That's the correct...
answer in a strictly Biblical sense. The scripture is full of examples of submission to lawful authority in all things but the worship of the one true God. Daniel was a really good example. Even Jesus submitted himself to the judgment of the Romans. Some fundamentalists seem to forget that part of the rule book. I suspect it's because they spend too much time studying books that interpret the Bible for them instead of going straight to the source and finding out for themselves.

2. Shoot! I could have told them THAT! Back when they were putting their trust in the chimp.
The "compassionate conservative". "Our Leader". "Bringing honor and dignitude back to the White House" What a crock... :eyes:

6. Send them back with a one-liner: "God's will be done".

7. I have and I wrote them back
that I had been relieved when God told me I could and should trust his gift to us, President Obama, and should follow him without question no matter what. Praise God.

You should support your President in a time of great economic crisis.

9. Nope. I have returned enough of those in the past with links to sites that dispute their "facts"
that I've apparently been removed from their email lists. I haven't received a new one in weeks.

12. I haven't gotten that one yet
But I have gotten the one about how the Post Office is selling Muslim stamps and that's proof that the terrorists are winning. Some dreck like that. I think the far right has lost its collective mind.
