Rep. Michele Bachmann and Sen. Amy Klobuchar are among the members of Minnesota’s Congressional delegation who attended the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington on Thursday morning. As co-chair of the event, Klobuchar got some laughs, while Bachmann turned to Pat Robertson’s CBN News to define the event strictly in Christian terms.
“The whole focus of this event is Jesus Christ, and we share our faith around the table and usually it’s with people from all around the world,” Bachmann told CBN. “I think it’s important people acquaint themselves with our nation’s history and not forget that in order for our nation to be strong, individuals have to be strong. And as members of Congress many of us find our strength in the Bible, in the Word of God.”
More of Bachmann:
Klobuchar got some laughs when she ribbed Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, for accidentally stepping to the podium with a ringing Blackberry. When the alarm on Hatch’s phone chimed, Klobuchar exclaimed, “It’s time for prayer!”
CBS news caught the exchange:

Why is Klobuchar even having anything to do with this event?

Didn’t Amy or Michele didn’t talk about killing gays in Uganda?

With great civility, and for President Obama’s good and the good of all religious leaders and people of all nations, I remind him and all that the thing that drowns out the sound of God’s voice is our own opinion. The God of the whole earth, in all holy books has denounced homosexuality because it is unfulfilling and robs a child of two parents that produced the child and all the relatives. The severe punishments are preventions. Homosexuality is not genetic or permanent according to God’s word. God requires us to “target gays and lesbians for who they are.” We are to warn them as God warned them, with love, to save them from His punishments.
“Mrs. Clinton denounced “religion cloaked in naked power lust, used to justify violence” in Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan and beyond.”
Mrs. Clintons statement can be turned against the United States and its religion of ignoring God’s word. That naked power lust justifies our violence against people who are trying to follow God’s word, about women at home, modesty, homosexuality, indecency in media, ETC. When we want God to rule our nation even through the Ten Commandments, we will not need weapons in Islamic nations. God commanded them for Muslins too. Then we can refer all disagreements to the word of God and let that settle issues.
President Obama said, “Surely we can agree to find common ground when possible, parting ways when necessary, but in doing so, let us be guided by our faith and by prayer.”
“Surely you can question my policies without questioning my faith,” Mr. Obama said, “or for that matter my citizenship.”
He is missing the whole point of religion. God has warned us of what to watch for, great deceptions in government and religion in these last days. When policies of leaders differ from the word of God in any holy book, how can we not question their faith? When President Obama insists on hiding his identity and his father is not a US citizen, which should make him ineligible to be president according to our Constitution, whether he was born in Hawaii or Kenya, how could we not sound the alarm as God warned us?
If we want to be one nation under God, we must be guided by His wisdom. It is not a religion; it is truth. Thousands of religions use the Bible and or point to using the Bible. Any nation that ignores the word of God and fails to adhere to the primary principles of the Ten Commandments of Exodus 20 as written, including the 7th day Sabbath of no work for anyone, does not understand God or the consequences for failure to follow His ways. Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28 should change that.
God bless our president, his family and administration with humility and a genuine desire to do the will of God. It is the only way to save them, our nation and the world. We will continue to pray for them all as God commanded us.

God has solutions to world problems we created by ignoring His wisdom.

Our founding fathers new the importance of separating church and state, and these new christians, spewing Jesus Christ as our nations touchstone is out of touch when it comes to our rights as patriotic Americans.
She has the right of free speech, so I hope her God is blessing her. I hope she hears the word of her Lord and is accepted into his Kingdom as soon as possible.
Amen.

Dear Marie Devine
Everything you say the bible says about homosexuality is true.
HOWEVER, the bible says the same thing about ALL adultery. That is pre maritial sex, folks having affairs and divorced folks.
So once you apply your same vitriol to ALL adulterers, i will give your words and your sence of your own piety some credence.
Get a clue and actually READ YOUR BIBLE
