“The Lord Almighty’s Not Coming Down”

W.J. Astore

So we’re stuck with Biden

President Biden had his big post-debate interview with ABC News during which he vowed to stay in the race unless he was sent a message from God.

“If the Lord Almighty came down and said, ‘Joe, get out of the race,’ I’d get out of the race, but the Lord Almighty’s not coming down.”

The Lord Almighty is apparently not coming down to speak to Joe Biden

Well, that settles that, America.

Like me, Biden is a Roman Catholic, though I must admit my faith in the church has lapsed. Still, I know something of theology, having studied the history of science and religion, and having done my share of research on Christianity. It’s strange indeed for a believer like Biden to suggest the Lord Almighty is not coming down to speak to him. Does Biden now know the will of God? Or perhaps he thinks the Lord Almighty isn’t “coming down” because he doesn’t truly believe in Him?

The Lord works in mysterious ways, and (assuming you’re a believer) no one truly knows His will. Biden, however, seems to think he does know His will, which is apparently to stand by His man, Joe Biden.

Of course, Biden was perhaps just being hyperbolic here with his claim about the Lord Almighty. Still, it’s such a strange thing for him to have said.

My wife put it best this AM: The real Lord Almighty, meaning Democratic mega-donors, may indeed come down from high places to tell Joe to get out of the race, and then Almighty Mammon will have spoken to Biden in a voice he can’t ignore.

  2. Your wife is a wise observer of the political scene: Mega-donors are going to come down with a message for Joe — they already have begun.
