Would you vote for a candidate endorsed by God?

[Renew Deal]

If God somehow endorsed a candidate, would you vote for that person?

O8)

[meegbear]

1. If they're good enough for him, they're good enough for me

[lumberjack_jeff]

2. The old testament God or the new and improved one? n/t

[Renew Deal]

3. God is who He is.

So the new Testament one I suppose.

[lumberjack_jeff]

40. Good. The whole hanging goats from the front door thing is kinda gross. n/t

[wtmusic]

4. What if God's on the take?

:evilgrin:

[Renew Deal]

6. God wants a cabinet position.

:D

[Dhalgren]

5. I voted "no", because the candidate would be a liar.

There is no god, ergo, no endorsement...

[Sparkly]

7. I'd need to see God's ID first. nt

[ShadesOfGrey]

15. Heh... Good one!

:rofl:

[Radical Activist]

8. God seems to have screwed a lot of things up.

So probably no. In fact, I wouldn't mind voting for a new God.

[Renew Deal]

9. lol

Funny response.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

12. yup nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. As Long As He Or She Was A Democrat

It would be icing on the cake...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

11. nope, god has made atleast as many mistakes as me. and mine dont hurt millions.

so no.

[balantz]

13. God has always and can only endorse God

and so is above the fray, so to speak.

[denem]

14. God and The Devil are the same person

He or she just subcontract out the work they find distasteful.

[bunnies]

16. Only the FSM could sway my vote. Ramen. nt

[sufrommich]

17. Have you people been living in a cave???

He endorsed Huckabee weeks ago.Case closed.

[TechBear_Seattle]

18. It depends on what SHE said

You heathen, you. :toast:

Actually, if God is going to endorse someone, I fully expect God to make the announcement Herself rather than through a spokesperson. Otherwise, the endorsement is invalid as far as I'm concerned.

[Renew Deal]

24. Will She speak English?

I never even thought about that. :o

[Beer Snob-50]

39. so the old burning, talking bush thing....

most people would freak out and think it was the devil himself (or herself) speaking

[RaleighNCDUer]

19. Only if God is a progressive.

A lot of people say this or that about what he says, but I want to hear if from his own lips.

[youthere]

20. No. God gave us Bush.

[hulklogan]

21. Hell no. n/t

[AndyA]

22. Who would verify the endorsement truly is from God?

Short of a major event in which God reveals himself to all, how would we know he really endorsed someone?

I mean, if it comes from Oral Roberts, Pat Robertson, James Dobson, or someone like that, I would have serious issues believing any of them.

[Renew Deal]

23. It would have to come from God Himself or a being on His behalf.

[ladjf]

25. This may be the dumbest poll ever to appear on DU.

[Renew Deal]

27. It's not.

Thanks though.

[ladjf]

31. Well, may I ask, how would one find out who God's choice was?

[Renew Deal]

32. CNN

:D

[robbedvoter]

30. Far from it. More relevant that many. Eye opener results too.

I am thinking Huckabee may pick a few votes from this board too...

[ladjf]

35. Are you seriously trying to imply that there would be some way

to know who God favored? If so, how would God let us know? Currently, more than one candidate claims to be God's choice. Could they be lying or do they have an inside track not available to most of us?

[robbedvoter]

36. Nope. But some seem to accept God as a candidate picker - and that's scary.

[ladjf]

38. I see your point and agree with it.

[we can do it]

26. God No

[robbedvoter]

28. Hell,no. Ya know, separation of church and state thingie

plus a long history of massacres in his name.

[winston61]

29. Which God?

Dios es Muerto
Marx es Muerto
Y no me siento bien.

[Occam Bandage]

33. Well, hm. If God were omniscient and omnipotent,

why not just make that candidate more compelling?

If God were not, what would make his endorsement better than, say, mine?

[Kucinich4America]

34. Depends on what you mean by "God's endorsement"

Neither Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee have directly claimed God's endorsement, but by emphasizing their religious backgrounds, they have certainly implied it. Pat Robertson has endorsed Rudy 9u11iani, and Pat claims that God endorses everything he says.

But until I see God, or Jesus, or the White Buffalo Calf Woman, or the ghost of my late missionary great grandmother show up and personally mention a candidate's name, I ain't buying it.

Pretty sure that Jesus would vote for Dennis Kucinich though. O8)

[IndianaGreen]

37. God does not have humanity's best interests in mind.

A blood thirsty and capricious deity must be ignored at all costs. Billions have died on God's account and for his entertainment.

Let's put these childish mythologies away. Let's begin by voting against any candidate that mentions God.

[lumberjack_jeff]

43. This would explain much.

God is Michael Vick, only without the oversight.

[wyldwolf]

41. I would rather support a candidate endorsed by Dog.

[Kucinich4America]

44. So you're dyslexic then?

:evilgrin:

[wyldwolf]

45. I'm not sure... maybe I'm Agnostic, too.

[Nailzberg]

42. My god, or someone else's god?

If it's my god, then that's a pretty good endorsement.

[Spirochete]

46. The last president God chose

isn't working out so well. God doesn't get to pick any more of our presidents.
