SURE SIGN OF NARCISSISTIC INSANITY

I like what The Virginian had to say about The One's recent sermon:

We are God's partners in matters of life and death," - Barack Obama.

I am a Christian and a humble, sinful, follower of Christ, the Son of God.

The thought that anyone would claim the mantle of God's partnership is - in my estimation - the province of people so deluded that they should be committed to an insane asylum.... (then quoting Klavan):

In response to this statement I would like to make a subtle theological point: No, we’re not. For those of you who aren’t versed in the finer points of theology, let me try to simplify that for you: No. We’re not. Or to put it even more simply: No. We. Are. Not.

...when God tells Jeremiah (1:5), “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you,” or when he sarcastically asks Job (38:17), “Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? Or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?” does that sound to you like a guy discussing matters with his partners? To me, God really seems to be suggesting there that we humans know sweet suffering goose-egg about the greater mysteries of life and death. Indeed, he seems to feel that the understanding of those mysteries is reserved for him alone and their disposition in his sole power. It’s possible, if properly understood, he might include even Barack Obama in his list of people whose partnership he is not soliciting in these matters....


The comments to a group of Liberal rabbis were poster on twitter, and then quickly erased as they went viral on the internet. That may have had something to do with Rush Limbaugh publicizing his comments.
