Michele Bachmann rules out run for Al Franken's seat after not receiving a sign from God

Michele Bachmann rules out run for Al Franken's seat after not receiving a sign from God
by Caitlin Yilek | Feb 5, 2018, 4:10 PM

Former Republican Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann does not plan to run for Al Franken’s former Senate seat, citing a lack of a sign from God.

"It became very clear to me that I wasn't hearing any call from God to do this," Bachmann told radio host Jan Markell.

Bachmann recently referenced God in an interview about whether she’d run for the seat currently filled by former Minnesota Lt. Gov. Tina Smith.

“Am I being called to do this now? I don’t know,” Bachmann told Jim Bakker last month.

Good for her.  At least she is looking in the right place.

I just looked up the interviewer and browsed the site. Kind of fringy fundamentalist stuff (actually, a bit beyond fringe). It unfortunately reinforces stereotypes about Bachmann.

Good to see you lump all Christians in with those people.   It says a lot about you.

You know exactly what I mean. There are traditionalists and there are fringe fundamentalists. A good comparison is the FLDS group to the overall Mormon church. These are the types that think the eclipse is a sign of the end times and read numerology type books (although not called that) looking for hidden prophetic codes and the ilk, or think they can 'will wealth' through some magic faith power (name it and claim it).  Looking at the pages of the person Bachmann was interviewing with, it definitely fits into that latter group.

Maybe a more appropriate word would be heretical.

Which is why I said some twice in the post.  The fact you glossed over that part says more about you.

Actually, you are the one that lumped them together. You responded to a statement calling out 'fringe' by taking that as an accusation against all (ie, you immediately lumped 'fringe' with all in your mind).  Then you just doubled down in that post that once again, made a clear statement of 'different' or 'fringe' and in your mind saw that as a 'lump all'.

Not hardly.   Saying you don't feel led by God doesn't make you fringe and doesn't make you the same as those evil people.

It actually makes you an obedient mainstream christian.

He isn't. He said something about Willbegone.
