Senator Jim DeMint: I think as this thing (the Tea Party movement) continues to roll you're going to see a parallel spiritual revival that goes along with it.
David Brody: Just so I understand, when you say spiritual revival how are you terming that? What do you mean specifically as in "spiritual revival?
Senator Jim DeMint: Well, I think people are seeing this massive government growing and they're realizing that it's the government that's hurting us and I think they're turning back to God in effect is our salvation and government is not our salvation and in fact more and more people see government as the problem and so I think some have been drawn in over the years to a dependency relationship with government and as the Bible says you can't have two masters and I think as people pull back from that they look more to God. It's no coincidence that socialist Europe is post-Christian because the bigger the government gets the smaller God gets and vice-versa. The bigger God gets the smaller people want their government because they're yearning for freedom.
Uh-huh. You know where God is really, really, really big Senator? The freedom-loving states of Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. And that's no coincidence.
One does wonder what the "libertarian" Teabaggers will think of this remark.
PS.
I know I'm a Democrat and therefore, a godless heathen, but I'm pretty sure I remember the nuns teaching me about some guy in the bible who said stuff like "render unto Caesar" and "my kingdom is not of this world"? Also.
