Or maybe it was not an oops. Maybe, as the short video below outlines, God wanted to destroy the Republican party as it exists. The video is pretty funny; the guy labels himself as a redneck liberal atheist, and that pretty well somes it up.

Here is the newspaper story:

Ted Cruz's Father Says God Intervened To Tell His Son To Run For President After 'Six Months' Of Prayer

Quote:

Speaking of the fateful prayer session, Cruz senior said: “It was as if there was a presence of the Holy Spirit in the room and we all were at awe and Ted, all that came out of his mouth, he said, ‘Here am I Lord, use me. Here am I Lord, I surrender to whatever Your will for my life is.’ And it was at that time that he felt a peace about running for president of the United States.”


and the video:

That SHOULD scare us. He used the Philistines, Moabites, Ammonites, etc....to judge Israel. Not to say the US is God's chosen people...but there is precedent for him using the ungodly to accomplish his will.

Maybe God did not speak to him. Like God did not speak to the tow truck driver.

I think I'd be more likely to agree with you on that, to be honest. But he still used Cruz to accomplish whatever he wants.

No God needed. Ted Cruz showed himself as unfit for office.

I'm surprised at Cruz' revelation considering God would never interfere with free will. That would make everyone into robots.

This is really so very odd.

OK....so God told him to run. I can accept Cruz believes that.

He should have spent five more minutes on his knees to ask God if he was going to win.
