God is grieved by this amendment.
–The Rev. Mark Asman of Trinity Episcopal Church of Santa Barbara, California, revealing that God opposes either the Nelson or Stupak anti-abortion funding amendments to the health care bills (it’s not clear which, but probably both); he didn’t reveal how he discerned the divine will on these pieces of legislation, though it’s fair to assume that he told the Almighty what to think and obtained agreement by virtue of his superior understanding of legislative language

will he get the same reaction as Pat Robertson – both seem to have a direct line to God’s will?

Indeed. One of the most underreported and ignored issues of our day are liberal proclamations about how God must be feeling about the flavor of the month liberal political concern of the moment. This doesn’t excuse similar conservative proclamations. It just means that at minimum, liberals aren’t any better, and long ago forgot Schweitzer’s devastating critique of recasting Jesus into a liberal political activist.
