Related: About this forumJoe the "Plumber": Bible truer than Science because it has never been revised. (I KID YOU NOT.)
http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/how-joe-the-plumber-became-joe-bible-believing-christianBack in April, Samuel Wurzelbacher, aka Joe the Plumber, told Christian Broadcasting Networks David Brody that he knows Gods on my side in his fight against Obamas socialist and anti-American presidency. The GOP nominee for Ohios 9th congressional district, who is focusing his campaign on the supposed connection between gun control policies and the Holocaust, sat down with Brody for a second time today on the 700 Club and shared the story of his conversion to Christianity at a Frischs Big Boy.
Wurzelbacher explained how his pastor, who seems to believe that faith and science are incompatible, noted that while science textbooks have several new editions, the Bible has never been revised. Revision Seven. He said, now look at the Bible, what does it say? I said, Holy Bible. He said, see any revisions on it Joe? I said, no. He said, the reason why is because this is Gods word mans always looking for an answer, thats why its revised.

(3,527 posts)5. Hell no.
People afflicted with that mind disease can believe anything at all.
cbayer
(146,218 posts)7. What mind disease?
rug
(82,333 posts)8. He must be talking about plumbers.
He would never make a bigoted statement against Christians by saying they have a mind disease.
2ndAmForComputers
(3,527 posts)9. Why, right-wing radicalism, of course.
Don't you agree that IS a mind disease?
cbayer
(146,218 posts)12. I think there are many kinds of radicalism may be the result
of a mind disease, but not that it in itself is a mind disease...
assuming you mean a diagnosable psychiatric illness.

(41,212 posts)15. Republicanism
Obviously it's not literally a mental illness, but it certainly damages the ability to think straight. Though I doubt that Joe ever could think very straight.

LeftishBrit
(41,212 posts)14. Then obviously Joe has read only the earliest versions of the Bible.
I didn't know that he could read both Hebrew and Greek.

Use a bigger shovel and swing harder next time. What you're doing isn't working.
