God put the Queen in her position as he did the other Royals.

I'm still waiting for a Beefeater to wiggle his ass and tell me where the honey is.
"God and his will is perfect working all things for our good."
You have got to be really f-ing dense not to smell that self-serving bullshit.
"Go about your business everyone! It's God's plan! Nothing to complain about here! I'm stinking rich and you're covered in shit. As you were! Head down, feet up! One-two. One-two! Your reward is in heaven. Move along!"
Also, learn the proper use of ellipses!
No, I don’t trust your made-up god. My god, Primus, is much more trustworthy. And he could KICK YOUR GOD’S ASS.
Guess God put Obama in his position too, then, and kept Fidel Castro in is position for such a looong time.
When God have made all children immune against cancer, I might consider trusting him.
See how far that gets you when he reminds he is God and his will is perfect working all things for our good... Nothing to say!
Exactly, God has nothing to say to me for being a hardcore anti-monarchist, just like he had nothing to say to every other anti-monarchist in history. Seems to me like deist God is the only real God.

Actually the current incarnation of the British Army is the descendant of Cromwell's New Model Army, and as such it answers to Parliament. Hence why it isn't called the Royal Army, unlike the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force.

While the Queen certainly retains powers such as the ability to block or veto legislation and can in theory seize Crown land, we speak the tongue that Shakespeare spoke and values hold that Milton held, which include the Crown's subservience to the good of the people and not to a deity, hence why a monarch that abuses their power must be replaced. That said, it is almost a relief that Britain has retained the Queen, not simply because it demonstrates that our valuation of history is not yet quite dead, but also because it /is/ possible for her to block or request clarifications to pending legislation, which is also why the House of Lords is so useful (admittedly it has plenty of bad points as well, but still).
This is all entirely independent of her position as Head of the Anglican Church.
If you have a problem with the will of God, I suggest you remove your blinkers and tell him he (in your human and lowly opinion) was wrong.
First I have to know what His "will" is. Then He needs to provide me with some way of communicating my human and lowly opinion to Him. He's never spoken to me or anyone else that I know of. All I have is the word of some holier-than-thou human busybodies who claim His will is recorded in some book that was put together by a bunch of anonymous Bronze Age Arabs. Nor does He appear to listen to anyone, either.
Terrible, terrible argument. As Charles Barkley says... "turrible".
Some posts in FSTDT are just word salad. This post is like someone said "I'm sorry, I didn't much care for this word salad. Can I just get a bowl of non-sequitur soup instead?".
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
