Sarah Palin:

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin describes herself as a "hard-core pro-lifer" and expresses confidence that in spite of disheartening polls, "putting this in God's hands, that the right thing for America will be done at the end of the day on Nov. 4.

Palin: Election Day Results Are Up To God

Does this mean that God hates Republicans? Or does he hate Americans in general?

This is ONE woman's views on HER religion. She does NOT speak for all Christians. God does NOT hate.

I asked a similar question several weeks ago. Lots of people said that they pray for God's will on election day, but if Obama were elected, it would mean we were closer to the end times. I don't get it. If you pray about an election and your candidate wins, it's God's benevolence shining down. If you pray and your candidate loses, it's God bringing the world to an end.

I'm not attacking you. I'm merely stating that there are many in the Christian Community who feel that Sarah Palin is their voice in government. I'm just hoping that there are more Christians like you.

What's funny is that, as Christians, aren't they supposed to welcome the end of days ... the second coming? If so, and if Obama's election is going to signal the apocalypse, then Christians should be dancing in the streets awaiting their Lord.

Right?

Oh I know you weren't my apologies if it came across that way. Many people like to think one person speaks for the masses and I guess my anger was more based with the OP for even posting something so ridiculous.

Obama's victory means:

1.) God (or Jesus Christ) did not listen to the prayers of millions of Christian fundies who prayed for the victory of McCain/Palin

OR

2.) God doesn't exist

Right?

Didn't you see the party in Grant Park? Those were actually hundreds of thousands of Christians.
