Holy Newt Gingrich and the Bible

The religious right loves Newt Gingrich. Newt is all for mixing religion and government. He loves Israel and believes the more tax dollars the U.S. politicians take from American workers and give to Israel, the better. In fact, Newt is so pro-Israel his single biggest contributor to his 2012 presidential cause is the billionaire Jewish gambling mogul Sheldon Adelson. The Center for Public Integrity reports, "Newt and Adelson talk often and their shared interest is Israel."

Some people think Newt will have a problem getting Christians and Jews to vote for him given his sinful ways. After all, Newt has admitted to cheating on his first two wives which makes him a fornicator and an adulterer. Like the Democrat politician John Edwards, Newt cheated on his first wife while she was fighting cancer. Politicians of both parties have no limits on just how low they can go!

A reason given by Newt for his fornicating and cheating is his patriotism! He told Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network, "There's no question at times of my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate."

One thing that will help Newt in his presidential aspirations is that Christians and Jews don't seem to look past the surface of things. Perhaps this is why the saying about the Bible is so true, that the Bible is a book that has been bought by so many but read by so few. If this trait carries over to Newt's bid for the Oval Office, he can count on the religious right for their support and votes.

The religious right often claims society needs to protect the sacred institution of marriage. However, if we look at the patriarch of all three Abrahamic "revealed" religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, we see that Abraham himself had concubines for his sexual pleasure which he had children with according to Genesis 25:6. Does the religious right want to bring concubines back?

Since the religious right claims the Bible is the standard society should be based upon, should we allow polygamy? The major Biblical figure, Jacob, had more than one wife according to Genesis 31:17. Should polygamy be allowed in society today? Also, Deuteronomy 21:15-17 teaches how a man with more than one wife should treat the children of these wives. Is the Bible a good guide for living a good life???

Perhaps one reason Newt likes the Bible is found at Judges 8:30-31 which says that Gideon "had many wives" and at least one concubine. Living like this would probably satisfy Newt's overactive libido.

With all the wars the U.S. politicians are starting for Israel's benefit and for the advancement of their own political careers, maybe the day will come where, following the commands of Moses himself, Newt and his fellow Israel first comrades in the White House and Congress will be able to enjoy no strings attached sex with young virgins captured on the battlefield. This would be in line with Numbers 31:14-35 in which the Israeli army slaughtered all of their enemies with the exception of the virgin girls. The command of Moses was, " Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves." Verse 35 tells us the number of young girls who were virgins and taken by the Israeli army was 32,000.

Maybe these disgusting Bible teachings are why so many of America's key founders were Deists?
