Poll question: "God told me to do it"

1. God told me I am jesus Christ reincarnated...

If I said that to anyone, they'd call 911 and haul me off the the mental asylum! :eyes:

Ditto for any other middle/working/lower-class person.

Here's the funny part: * can say God told him to attack Iraq. * can say God told him to attack Afghanistan. * can say God told him to pick his nose and eat it. And people will still call him a saint.
