"God's Will"

By The Daily Dish

That's the reason for an oil pipeline:

"I think God's will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that."

Much, much more disturbing is her describing the occupation of a Muslim country thus:

"Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God. That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan."

Are these people trying to prove me right about what's happened to conservatism? This is Christianism ad absurdum.
