    Mr President,

    God spared you in Butler, PA to be the most consequential President in a century — maybe ever. The decisions on your shoulders I would not want to be made by > anyone else.

    You have many voices speaking to you Sir, but there is only ONE voice that matters. HIS voice.

    I am your appointed servant in this land and am available for you but I do not try to get in your > presence often because I trust your instincts.

    No President in my lifetime has been in a position like yours. Not since Truman in 1945. I don’t > reach out to persuade you. Only to encourage you.

    I believe you will hear from heaven and that voice is far more important than mine or ANYONE else’s.

    You sent me to Israel to be your eyes, ears and voice and to make sure our flag flies above our > embassy. My job is to be the last one to leave.

    I will not abandon this post. Our flag will NOT come down! You did not seek this moment. This moment > sought YOU!

    It is my honor to serve you!

    Mike Huckabee

    What a sniveling creep.

      The Iranian faith-based community is just as deranged.

      Khomeini’s doctrines would make a major influence on the landscape of Shia Islam; which had upheld political quietism for over a thousand years. Another significant revision of tradition was on Mahdism, the messianic belief in the reappearance of their Twelfth Imam and the proper way to wait for Him. Traditional Twelver theologians urged believers to wait patiently for his return, but Khomeini and his followers called upon Shia Muslims to actively pave the way for Mahdi’s global Islamic rule.

      And cookers in the West have shown us that a community doesn’t even need religion to be deranged.

    I’ve never understood these apocalyptic types.

    Assuming:

    1. God is all-knowing, omnipresent.
    2. God has a Plan that is far beyond all human understanding (“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.”).

    Then it stands to reason that:

    1. You don’t know if we’re living in the End Times or not, and you cannot know.
    2. God’s Plan cannot be rushed to fit your timetable. Who are you to inject yourself into God’s Plan? (See: Job 38.)
    3. God doesn’t need you to “fulfill” his Plan, or predict his schedule, or “make” Armageddon happen soon by “setting all the pieces in place” (when Jesus specifically says even the angels in heaven don’t have that information). He’s omnipotent and omnipresent. You are not.
    4. Even if you were instrumental in his Plan, you probably wouldn’t know it (see: point number 1.)

    These people need to read their own books.

      Well, to be fair, they’d burn you alive in a cage ala ISIS if you translated those books into a language anyone could read until a scant 400-ish years ago

      The book is just a vehicle for their narcissism and delusions of grandeur. Every verse is about them and their righteous holy war. Every critical verse is about their personal enemies.
