Did God switch to the Dems?

Question

I am just wondering. Being as thousands maybe even millions of people were praying for it to rain during the DNC and there was no rain. Also we have a Hurricane ready to hit the USA during the RNC.

Answer 1

If I believed in such things I would say God is testing our will, as He did with Job.

And, BT, you forgot to remind us that hurricanes are caused by Bush's refusal to sign the Kyoto Protocol.

Answer 2

why not?

Obama presents as "the Messiah"

Answer 3

In order for god to switch to anything would require his existance.

Answer 4

Jesus of Nazareth, popularly perceived as the Son of God, announced his endorsement of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama yesterday during a rare guest appearance on CBS' Late Show with David Letterman. The appearance was the first time Jesus has returned to earth with the specific goal of endorsing a political candidate, several pundits and religious scholars agreed, and may in fact be the first recorded reappearance ever of the widely admired supernatural entity.

“It's extremely unusual for a celestial being to physically manifest him, her, or itself in corporal form to back a presidential candidate, particularly during the primary season,” Jacob Weisberg, editor of Slate magazine, said. “It's quite possible that what we're witnessing is a historical event that may provide just the momentum Obama needs to top that final hurdle. Jesus, like Obama, has a rare, iconic popularity that extends well beyond his base.”

Jesus, who was unshaven, long-haired and shabbily attired but appeared otherwise healthy and well-rested during the Letterman appearance, said his motives for endorsing Barack Obama were complex.

“I don't know that I can distill what I think of as the Barack effect into a few simple words,” Jesus said. “I rarely get involved in politics since my own quite painful brush with that sphere of human endeavor. But Obama does something to me. It's more like a feeling, a sensation of hope and optimism that I haven't felt, looking down on Earth, for many decades. It made me want to do whatever I could to help out. ”

Jesus said he was inspired by Barack Obama's legendary oratory skill and charm, but even moreso by the fact that many of Obama's political stances echo his own.

“When I hear him speaking, it brings me right back to the Sermon on the Mount, which I think was one of my greatest hits,” Jesus said. “All the things I talked about so long ago. Imagine how I felt watching those, if you don't mind me saying so, really groundbreaking ideas concerning how human beings should treat each other get co-opted, subverted, parasitized or ignored by generations of cynical scoundrels and hypocrites--until Barack Obama came along.”

“It's like I'm looking in a mirror, only, I have to hand it to him, I never really had the kind of massive crowd appeal Obama does,” Jesus said. “I was more of a stealth movement. If Barack had been alive two millenia ago, I'd probably have found myself playing second fiddle as a disciple.”

In related news, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse announced their collective endorsement of Republican presidential candidate John McCain. The Four Horsemen--Conquest, War, Pestilence and Death--made the announcement during their regular weekly guest appearance on Fox News together with conservative commentator William Kristol. The horsemen's horses--White, Red, Black and Pale--were also in attendance.

“We can't say John McCain's the absolutely ideal apocalyptic candidate for all of us,” Conquest said, “but between the Democrats and the Republicans, the choice is a no-brainer. War and I like him, but Pestilence would have preferred Romney due to the almost guaranteed corruption and economic breakdown another term or two of Bush-style economics would lead to, and Death wanted to hold out for Huckabee."

"In the end we decided to present a united front behind McCain," Conquest said. "He's our best hope under the circumstances for the total destruction of all living beings, man or beast.”

William Kristol was unfortunately unable to present his views on what may be a pivotal boost for the McCain campaign, up against significant odds against the wildly popular and Jesus-backed Obama movement, as he was eaten mid-interview by Death's horse, Pale.

“I'm sorry about that,” Death said. “Pale gets a little peckish during these manifestations, and Fox forgot to stock the green room again.”

Answer 5

LOL no, I don't think so. It's just a coincidence. I don't think God is on anyone's side publicly.If I know for sure whether or not God existed, I bet he would on the Democrats' side during this election

Answer 6

*opens up umbrella*  

Answer 7

I guess he is

Answer 8

?

Answer 9

You know, I hadn't thought of that!  

But you know, if the situation had been reversed, if Obama had been rained out of Mile High Stadium, you can bet Pat Robertson and his pals would have seen the Hand of God in it.

Answer 10

Looks like God - has no part in these elections

and as it is the case in england - Church and state are completely divided.

How strange it is to hear the potential presidents discussing issues of God, Good and evil, right and wrong??????

Answer 11

First time I heard of people praying for rain during the DNC convention which was held mainly inside except for the last day. God didn't switch to the Dems, just because he might show mercy, doesn't mean he is fully endorsing the person or persons who oppose Him.  

Answer 12

lmao......simply stunning.

Answer 13

God is not on anyone side, we however can be on his side.

Answer 14

haha

well probably, he should since the republicans fu*cked up big time the last 8 years!

Answer 15

I get what you're saying but let's try to keep God out of the elections process.

Although I do agree with you.  

Answer 16

Everyone knows God's a Communist.

He's probably disgusted with the world's governments. I know i am.

Answer 17

For the people who didn't hear about the "Pray for Rain":

Here is the story:

Here is Stuart Shepherd from Dobson's "Focus on the Family" proposing the idea:

Here is Shepherd "apologizing" for it:

Answer 18

Yes.

The god is Allah, Allah is the greatest, and Mohammad is his holy prophet.

Answer 19

Nope He is actually showing us who He likes.

What did He do for the dem's?.....nothing...exactly.

As for the rep's He is letting it rip, it will be natural fireworx, not that hollywood stuff.

Answer 20

God doesn't intervene with with man or his choices. It's called free will. I do think mother nature has become a Democrat.

Answer 21

Maybe. You sure are gonna need all the help you can get.

Answer 22

Some people say, "God is good". Maybe they are right. I'm atheist, so I wouldn't know really, but maybe they are right. Maybe it is the will of the universe for McCain to fail!

Answer 23

God is not political! He just wants us to all get along and compromise with each other. Having a hurricane ready to "hit the U.S. during the RNC" are just the breaks. It's part of the odds during Hurricane Season!

Answer 24

Let It Rain

Answer 25

Are you serious?

Answer 26

No....unless you mean that moon "god" they pray to in the middle east and N. Africa.

Answer 27

No, this question is just a sign that Satin is at work in you.

Answer 28

Fortunately, God doesn't chose sides. We're the ones that can chose to be on His side. :o)

Besides, rain won't affect voting or appointments one way or the other. ♥ ∞

Answer 29

This time it won't blot on Bush or the repubs. This time their is a great Republican governor in Louisiana that won't ignore experts warnings. Bobby Jindal FTW. OH yeah. Hurricane PALIN HIT THE DEMS TODAY CAT 10.
