Or a least, never be the judge that I have to face.
Tim TIngelstad is running for Supreme Court Justice in Minnesota, he made it through the primary process (2 of 3) and will face incumbent Justice Paul H Anderson in the general election.
Now it is very likely that Paul Anderson will remain a Supreme Court Justice, but I want to point out why I am concerned about Tim Tingelstad.
First there is his Gideon’s Army web page,
The same is true of the people of God today. We the people of God, have done evil in the sight of the Lord, as we have allowed generations of our children to turn from knowing and worshiping the true God, to accepting the new religion of the day, Secular Humanism. Today’s Secular Humanists, like the Midianites, appear to have the upper hand in our culture. When we sow the seeds of faith from God’s Word into our children, the Secular Humanists come against us and destroy the crops by teaching against the things of God in our schools. The people of God are being told to retreat into the caves and dens of our church buildings and homes. The primary weapons used by the Secular Humanists have been our schools and our courts, which have indoctrinated the people into a belief in a false wall of separation between church and state.
Now this pisses me of, which is probably no surprise to anyone. First, I am probably a Secular Humanist, and I don’t like being blamed for things, especially when I think they are baseless accusations. Second, how does Tingelstad know that he the one hearing God’s Word? I mean there are so many types of Christians, many that think other so-called Christians are not Christians, how the heck is anyone supposed to know which one is right. Is this some sort of perverse joke by God to have religious diversity be an evolutionary attempt at religious belief to find the strongest faith? I just don’t get it. And what is wrong with allowing all faiths to thrive in the private sphere, why does it have to be in the public sphere where the tyranny of the majority (apparently the Secular Humanists these days) may stifle smaller faith groups?
Then there are the prayer clocks, these stun me regularly. It is almost as bad as Stuart Sheperd asking people to pray for it to rain on Obama’s acceptance speech at the DNC.
Please select and sign up for a daily 5 minute time period to commit to pray for Tim Tingelstad and his 2008 campaign for the Minnesota Supreme Court.
Prayer Requests:
- Pray for the Primary on September 9th, that people will exercise their right to vote, and that Tim will get the votes necessary to proceed to the general election.
- That we will get volunteers to work our booth at the MN State Fair.
- For people willing to participate and contribute to additional Liberty Auctions around MN.
- That we can get volunteers to make phone calls to spread the word about our campaign message.
- For people to sign the petition and for people to gather signatures from others.
- For people to commit to pray daily for Tim’s campaign and to preserve the people’s right to vote in Minnesota.
If there is a God, do you really think that he is taking interest in an smaller election like this? Is setting up people to pray (sort of like lobbying) that God help this one candidate. How about pray for world peace or ending world hunger?
What I do get, is that many Minnesotans will not have heard the same Word from God as Tingelstad, whether they are other types of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, or Atheists. I don’t want someone with such a worldview, to make decisions, crucial judicial decisions for our varied citizenry!
