http://bloggingblue.com/2015/02/scott-walker-says-he-consults-with-god-but-his-office-cant-provide-documents-to-prove-it/Governor Walker has never been shy about flashing his religious credentials, regularly telling audiences about the nondenominational evangelical church he attends, the Baptist preacher who raised him, and his belief that he only runs for office when called upon by God to do so.
As he told the bankers in January, [a]ny major decision Ive made in my life, politics or otherwise, Ive tried to discern Gods calling on.
As noted in Raw Storys report, Freedom From Religion Foundation member Edward Susterich (who also happens to be a regular reader of this blog) filed the open records request demanding the governor provide a copy/transcript of all communications with God, the Lord, Christ, Jesus or any other form of deity, and Gov. Walkers office was quick to respond that they did not have any records responsive to Susterichs request. What, God couldnt be bothered to send Gov. Walker a quick email?

(16,423 posts)Our gods come frome ancient (and in the case of Islam: medieval) times. War happened all the time. Accordingly, the job-description of gods included being patrons of war.
And you want your god to be strong and decisive, of course. You don't want him to be careful, hesitating, thinking, moralizing.

They worship at the altar of Mega-Bucks, with the Koch Bros standing at the helm as their "gods".
When one is a Christian and works hard to emulate and follow the ways of Christ, even at great sacrifice to oneself, you can call yourself a Christian. When one does exactly the opposite, bastardizes the teachings of Christ and does just the opposite of everything Christ has asked us to do, what do we call these people?
