shouldn't you pray to God to have the wisdom to choose wisely vs asking God to help your choice win?

In order to be where they are, you have to assume they have not acted in the best ethical manner becaus as a people we crucify ethical and honest people, literally

You'll find out all about that if you read in the Bible about Adam, Eve, and the Garden of Eden. This world will always be sinful and full of problems. Not even the most devout Christian can understand all of this but one day when we reach the Final Shores, we will know.

There's only one way to the Father and that's through the Son. If any religion does not believe that, then possibly there is a question about its Christianity. We don't need to know because God knows.

Thanks, but not my God.
We don't know the reasons why bad things happen to good people and innocent children. One day when we meet our Maker, I believe He'll explain it all to us.

Well, God is a jealous God.

There are no other Gods before Him.

If everyone starts worshipping Obama like a God, then it is the end of America.

God will allow the voters to decide the outcome, that's free will.

I do believe he would intervene in certain circumstances though, especially if he knows that a candidate will be best for America and the entire world in the long run according to his plan. So it just depends, no one knows for sure.

No religion other than Christianity is a valid religion?
