Tom DeLay: People keep forgetting that God ‘wrote the Constitution’ (VIDEO)
Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) this week warned Americans to remember that God “wrote the Constitution” based on the Bible.
During an appearance on John Hagee Ministries’ Global Evangelism Television (GETV) network on Wednesday, host Matt Hagee asked the Texas Republican where the country had gone wrong.
“I think we got off the track when we allowed our government to become a secular government,” DeLay explained. “When we stopped realizing that God created this nation, that He wrote the Constitution, that it’s based on biblical principles.”
Yes, he DID. PS would therefore be a liar...No matter how many times he uses the word "collectivists" in a sentence, it doesn't change what DeLay said. Perhaps he should look at more than the fact-free echo-chamber once in a while.PrintSmith wrote: The former house speaker didn't say that God wrote the Constitution

Printsmith's logic is spot on. No one claims God wrote the Bible himself. The common thought in theological circles is God inspired man to write what is contained in scriptures. Anyone with two days of Bible study under their belt would know and understand that.
But you already knew that.

And who is this "grown, intelligent man" that you are referring to?

When one parses what was said, with the intention of removing the context in which it was said, the only excuse for doing so is an intent to mislead others about what was said. Such is the case with Jazzer's offering in this instance. She is lying about what DeLay said, pure and simple. What DeLay said was the sum of his words, not the partial sentence plucked from the middle of his statements. To pretend otherwise is both disingenuous and dishonest, two qualities Jazzer has displayed an abundance of on a regular basis for quite some time now. I may question her ability to understand this basic principle that anyone with an above room temperature IQ can easily grasp, but I am quite certain that it is not beyond your abilities to comprehend and understand.not interested wrote:

As has been demonstrated by Lady Jazzer, DeLay said that God wrote the Constitution, for which a direct quote, from DeLay, has been provided. PrintSmith said that is not possible, that God didn't pick up a pen and write it. Therefore, extending the logic, God couldn't have written the Bible.
But then, you already knew that.
