Michele Bachmann: I'll Run For President -- If God Calls Me To Do It

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

"If I felt that's what the Lord was calling me to do, I would do it ... When I have sensed that the Lord is calling me to do something, I've said yes to it. But I will not seek a higher office if God is not calling me to do it. That's really my standard."

What if God called Michelle and told her to STFU, would she do it?

It's funny scary how similar that OP quote is to something you might expect to see from Osama Bin Laden.

The Rethugs and the Islamic terrorists are peas in a pod.

Makes sense, sounds like what any christian would say before they do anything.

Well not really - but the rhetoric is very similar. As if her decisions are somehow selfless, motivated by some higher authority and not at all self-serving. What utter garbage.

Will this person also be told by god if they will win, and how to pay for their campaign?

"And then in the midst of that calling, God then called me to run for the United States Congress. And I thought, 'what in the world would that be for?' And my husband said, 'You need to do this,' and I wasn't so sure. And we took three days and we fasted and we prayed, and we said, 'Lord is this what You want? Is this Your will?' And after the -- along about the afternoon of day two, He made that calling sure. And it's been now 22 months that I've been running for United States Congress. Who in their right mind would spent two years to run for a job that lasts for two years? You'd have to be absolutely a fool to do that. You are now looking at a fool for Christ. This is a fool for Christ."

Says it all really.

I wonder if all of her decisions are influenced by the divine....

"And, Lo! God told me to buy the Prada Handbag and Gucci shoes. And I beheld them, and they were good".

"I believe God wants me to have the Calamari and the '91 Lafitte!"

The best thing about people responding to a 'calling' is that no one can prove that they 'made it all up' (either willfully or because they genuinely believe they 'hear' god) Clearly an atheist such as myself believes they are nuts

I'm waiting to hear from God before I take my next shower.
