Noem 'extremely grateful for God's hand' in Texas flooding

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem spent several minutes praising God's part in the recent deadly flooding in Texas. At a White House cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Noem recalled that one father found his dead daughter's shoe in the mud. "Just hugging and comforting people matters a lot," she insisted. "I'm extremely grateful for God's hand in that whole situation because hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people were saved."

The GOP is a Death Cult.

Lacking any sort of empathy was a prime requirement for the job she got.
Parading her in front of the public and letting her speak is going to continue to be a problem.

Taking God's name in vain....

"Taking God's name in vain, according to the Ten Commandments, generally refers to using God's name in a disrespectful or insincere way, rather than simply using it as an exclamation.

It encompasses various actions that diminish the holiness of God's name, including blasphemy, perjury, hypocrisy, and using God's name for frivolous or dishonest purposes."

These people in power now are not actual Christians.

Exodus 20:7 and Deuteronomy 5:11 read:

"Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain."

"These people in power now are not actual Christians."

Bull. ----.

Denying that they are actual Christians is the intellectual equivalent of some kid in a Che t-shirt denying Stalin was actual Communism.

But hey, if you can get a Christian Republican to agree they are not actual Christians, I'll buy you a Coke!

For killing all those people? That's kinda sad.

Bull. ----.

You yourself have noted on these very putrid-yellow shaded pages that these MAGAites are not reflective of Christian teachings.

Therefore, not actual Christians.

Snoofy needs to believe there is no good in being a real Christian.

It's not real.....nobody is good or if they are, then it's in no way attached to an individual's faith.

I can't stand politicians who do this.

It's so ---- phony.

It takes an incredible amount of strength to truly turn to God and be thankful when experiencing such a horrendous loss.

Noem doesn't know ---- about it and should STFU.

"Parading her in front of the public and letting her speak is going to continue to be a problem."

I wish I could agree but unfortunately she's going to get nothing but pats on the back for making statements like this.

- nobody is good

Actually, that's what Jesus said.

God is quite the micro-manager it seems.
