Scott Walker Believes He’s Following Orders from the Lord

What ever happened to sandal wearing Hippie Commie Jesus who said things like "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven." Remember the redistributionist Jesus taking the loaves and fish from them that had and distributing them around.

Not the slavery loving, Jew and homo hating misogynist Jesus of the ultra right wing, the Nazis and KKK but the one who gave us the Berrigan Brothers, Martin Luther King, Sloan Coffin and the liberation theologians.
The myth of Jesus is that he was a carpenter and his apostles were fishermen and other common poor people not Wall Street con artists and militarists.

The dogmatic unwillingness of Wis. Gov. Scott Walker to negotiate or to compromise with Democrats or unions has surprised many people in the state. One explanation for his attitude may be found in his religious convictions.

In a talk to the Christian Businessmen’s Committee in Madison on November 13, 2009, Walker, who was raised by a Baptist preacher, spoke about his personal relationship with God, his “walk to Christ,” and his belief in the need to “trust and obey” the Lord.

He told the group that when he was thirteen, he committed himself to Jesus. “I said, ‘Lord, I’m ready . . . not just in front of my Church and the world but most importantly at the foot of your Throne, I’m ready to follow you each and every day. . . . I have just full out there said, ‘I’m going to trust in you Christ to tell me where to go. And to the best of my ability I’m going to obey where you lead me,’ and that has made all the difference in the world to me, for good times and bad.”

Walker said that God has told him what to do every step of the way, including about what jobs to take, whom to marry, and when to run for governor.

When he had first met his wife, he said, “That night I heard Christ tell me, ‘This is the person you’re going to be with.’ ”

He said he was trusting and obeying God when he took a job at IBM and then at the Red Cross. ““Lord, if this is what you want, I’ll try it,” he said. It was all about “trust and obey.”
