"Sacan a pasear a Dios"

Question

sacan a pasear a Dios means what in Engish?

Answer 1

Please, give more context here, because it is needed. So isolated, the meaning can vary significantly, from referring to an Easter procession to implying that the person who is saying is completely outraged.

Interesting, could you give an example where it would mean "outraged"? Thanks. - lagartijaverde, Oct 4, 2010

¿Sacarme a mi a pasear?¡ Anda y que te den!. Saca a pasear a Dios, si quieres. (No way! Don't think about it) - cogumela, Oct 4, 2010

"from.....to" when you are including an entire range. Need "it" to refer to the sentence (understood) - Echoline, Oct 4, 2010

Answer 2

Take a walk on the mild side? Is sacan a pasear a common Spanish term or is it perhaps South American Eddie?

Could it mean "take a walk with god?"

Answer 3

Well it translates as "they are taking God for walk". It may, however, have an idiomatic meaning. They are walking with God? Wait for more answers.

Answer 4

It depends on the context.

As Eddy says, it is literally translated at "taking God out for a walk".

Here is one example which, hopefully, is self-explanatory:

Lo que me parece una boutade de Hawking es sacar a pasear a Dios en un libro de Física. No viene a cuento, más que para buscar polémica y publicidad gratuita, cosa que consiguió.

Cogumela provides another perfectly valid example, with a very different meaning. Indeed - context...
