[baby_mouse]

[TwilightGardener]

1. Well, no, unless God steps into the voting booth and casts the decisive ballot.

[stray cat]

2. I don't know is god a superdelegate?

[crispini]

10. LOL! nt

[Rosa Luxemburg]

11. oh probably

[rox63]

3. No

He will have been put there by the American people.

[polichick]

6. "by the American people"

...acting from their most inspired and best selves.

[anonymous171]

4. He will have been put there by we the people.

Anyways, everybody knows that God voted for Kucinich.

[DearAbby]

18. God voted for Kucinich

:rofl: I LOVE IT

[Why Syzygy]

5. Everyone knows God doesn't vote!

[against all enemies]

If he gains the WH, will assholes stop posting stupid polls?

[Speck Tater]

7. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard! NT

[baby_mouse]

26. I'm glad you think so.

[2rth2pwr]

8. Will he put himself there?

is that what you're asking?

[casus belli]

9. Yes. -God

Is this a real question?

[tokenlib]

12. He'll be put there by those making the best use of their God given abilities.....n/t

[better tomorrow]

13. God only talks to Dubya....remember?

[hedgehog]

14. Hell, I don't even believe that God made Ratzinger the Pope!

[DearAbby]

15. You forgot "OTHER" or "NATURAL DESIGN"

Or by INTELLIGENT DESIGN...PEOPLE VOTING FOR HIM

as an atheist, I prefer the INTELLIGENT DESIGN option myself..can you please change your poll?

[scheming daemons]

16. No... but if Hillary gets there, I'm pretty sure the devil would have had something to do with it...

...

[tammywammy]

17. Most definitely

I mean there's no other reason that he'd get it. It can't be that he's gotten more votes, more pledged delegates and more super delegates. It must be divine intervention.

:eyes:

[PresidentObama]

19. Ignorance is bliss n/t

[Ichingcarpenter]

20. The flying Spaghetti Monster is angry at Stupid Polls

[baby_mouse]

35. One day some small child is going to ask you why the Flying Spaghetti Monster allows suffering.

THEN you'll be sorry.

[baby_mouse]

21. FOUR PEOPLE VOTED YES!!!!!

head-desk, arg.

[cali]

23. and how do you know they weren't Clinton supporters

trying to make Obama supporters look bad? Or trolls? Duh, you don't.

[baby_mouse]

28. Duh, nothing. It's a poll!

And YOU, cali, have been in an extremely bad mood ALL DAY. Don't think I haven't noticed.

[cali]

33. I haven't been here all day.

but never mind that, you're right. I am in a bad mood. I've got cabin fever. It's not even 20 degrees and we got another 10 inches of snow. Sorry for that.

[Cha]

37. Bummer! Cold and white up there in Vermont

for Spring. Here's some fleurs for ya..

[baby_mouse]

Brr!

Winter sucks.

XXX to cali, hoping the heat returns!

It's not as miserable here in Scotland, but it's pretty miserable and I sympathise. I haven't been out all day. I'm fed up of being cold.

[cali]

47. aw thanks for being understanding

I am so sick of it at this point. And up here we won't be seeing the bare ground for at least another month.

[jonnyblitz]

29. of course it was Clinton supporters or Obama detractors.

People always vote the outrageous choices on these polls just to stir the pot. No Obama supporter is going to vote "yes".

[baby_mouse]

34. Well, some PEOPLE have voted yes.

We don't really know who they are. But that doesn't much matter, the vast majority have said no, revealing that the so-called "cultish" nature of Obama's popularity is at least not related, on this board, to any perception of his importance as a religious figure. There may be other ways Obama supporters (I am not one) could be accused of being over-enthusiastic, but they do not appear, from this poll, to think he actually IS the Second Coming. Which reassures me, as some of them look to me like they're going a bit peculiar.

[ecstatic]

24. I didn't vote in your poll... but is this some sort of anti-Christian

poll?

Maybe some people believe God has a hand in everything?

[baby_mouse]

32. Well *I'm* anti-Christian, not being one anymore, but a poll is a poll, I can't control the results

That being the case, whether or not the poll is anti-Christian or casts Christians in some kind of bad light isn't really up to me. Even if loads of people had said "Yes,", (which I didn't expect at all, and would have found disturbing) it's purpose is to reveal information, not insert it. What the *meaning* of all those yesses would be is obviously to be debated afterwards.

However, most people have said no, which is interesting. Isn't it?

[ecstatic]

22. Yes

as was Bush, Clinton, etc. It doesn't mean that God has any particular vested interest or that that person is a prophet. I just think everything happens for a reason.

[baby_mouse]

25. Did he actually say that thing in your sigline? Pretty cool.

I don't agree with you, though. I think lots of things happen for no reason at all and even more happen for *bad* reasons...

[ecstatic]

46. According to an Obama quotes site, he did... hehehe nt

[tokenlib]

27. God is the ultimate scapegoat...

...she gets blamed for everything.. :)

[Hope And Change]

30. There`s no doubt that...

Obama is a gift from God but let`s not get carried away...so I voted no.:-)

[bhikkhu]

31. If god can vote in the GE, can he vote in this poll too?

[baby_mouse]

36. Gosh, I hope so. Will it make the bar-chart all sparkly?

:D

[bhikkhu]

40. That would be cool...

and maybe we could finally figure out which one of us he is!

[Demeter]

42. If He Has a Valid Photo ID and Is Registered, I Suppose So

[arXter]

38. no that will be credited to

the chaos and randomness of the world :/

don't expect Obama nor Clinton to believe in this religious BS they have to veil behind for the largely backward mentality of America to accept.

[Orsino]

39. An Hillary will it, so mote it be. n/t

[dysfunctional press]

41. since there is no god, the answer would have to be no.

when will americans give up their mythological security blankets and start worrying about the here and now, instead of some fictional hereafter...? :shrug:

[arXter]

44. when their powers that be say so

[baby_mouse]

45. Probably never. I think it's something we're just going to have to live with.

I think it's pretty silly, too, but we are so very outnumbered.

I'm grateful that I live in a nice, secular, sensible country that keeps religion out of politics. Scotland will never again be won over be religious rhetoric, it's been through too much.

However, I cant help but grind my teeth at the opportunities wasted by the States in terms of stem cell research, the environment, gay rights, all because of right wing Christianity. I just hope that the left wing version is less harmful...

[Adelante]

43. Certainly, by God!

O8)

[quakerboy]

48. well, since

Hillary supporters think she is god, Edwards supporters thing he is god, Obama supporters think he is jesus, and therefore also god, and Kucinich supporters think he is god, and I think god may just be a random voter in Kansas somewhere...

I guess it depends on who is right.

[burythehatchet]

49. Idiot

[City Lights]

50. In which state is God registered to vote? eom
