Democratic Candidates for President Can't Name a Single Bible Verse

I hear Karl Rove buys them in bulk.

 

From the NEXT debate:

MARVIN ZINDLER: I want to give everyone a chance in this. You just
take 10 seconds. basso, favorite Bible verse?

BASSO: Moses replied: "It is not the sound of victory, it is not the sound of defeat; it is the sound of singing that I hear."


ZINDLER: rimrocker?

RIMROCKER: There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up.


ZINDLER: Ottomaton?

OTTOMATON: When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, "If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.".


ZINDLER: Decker?

DECKER: I have become a brother of jackals, a companion of owls.


ZINDLER: Trader_Jorge?

JORGE: therefore in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and dire poverty, you will serve the enemies the LORD sends against you. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.


ZINDLER: MacBeth?

MACBETH: Then, at the evening sacrifice, I rose from my self-abasement, with my tunic and cloak torn, and fell on my knees with my hands spread out to the LORD my God...

Why isn't TJ angered that Russert never even asked for a quote from the Quran? the Vedas? Or that Republicans candidates are highly unlikely to be able to quote from them?

The Founder's Separation of Church and State... an petty annoyance for TJ.

 

I too find it interesting that Russert asked about a bible verse and not about their favorite amendment to the constitution.

 

That "chick" is Jerusalem. If you can handle the whole city, you are more of a man than Martin Van Buren.

 

Had Hillary said this, I might just consider voting for her:

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is The Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

 

it's my favorite verse in this thread. it reads lilke something out of Proverbs.

 

I'm guessing he did that because they've been talking quite a bit about their faiths in the campaign so far. Hillary and Obama in particular.

 

TJ is a closet liberal.

Whoda thunk?

 

Bah, they're all Anti-Federalist Liberals. Everyone knows that their favorite amendment is the 16th. At least this one could have had some interesting answers.

 

Should read Anti-Federalism.

 

A donation will take care of that.

 

Obama should have brokend this out in his best Samual Jackson voice...

Ezekiel 25:17

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and goodwill shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

 

Winner

 

Ooops I missed Bobrek's post before I posted mine.

 

Wow, Trader_WhoreHey, this thread kind of backfired on you...

“Judge not, that ye be not judged."
(Matthew 7:1)

 

Yeah, George knows the bible pretty well but look what he has done.

 

Even though I don't care about this thread or it's original intent, that isn't the point Jorge was making. Not that you have to be able to quote the Bible to be a good Christian, but that for a group of politicians who try so hard in an election period to play up their faith, this certainly seems hypocritical.
