A game of SIMS perhaps with them being the main characters? God sure has a great sense of humor.
Yes he does, he created man didn't he.

What I think is pathetic is that people mock anyone for admitting what they are doing is a result of what they feel they have been inspired to do through prayer and careful contemplation. For those with faith that may mean they feel God has put them on a course. So, why mock? Because you cannot understand such faith? Or, are those in this thread just small people in the way of a playground bully? So much for the "tolerant" left.

Clearly if God was serious, he would have spoken to me, instead he is demonstrating his humor by speaking to Cain, Perry and Bachman. Personally I think he is just trying to show the evangelicals he does have a sense of humor, and he shows it at your expense.
I guess God knows who is able and who is not. Also, if you did run you would have the same charges leveled against you if you were the front runner. That or other charges they could find.

Too bad as a righty you see disagreeing as "intolerance"....but it's not surprising...


from what I understand of "god'...asking him for career advice is disrespectful, rather lowers his status.......I would rather have someone who could think and decide for themselves using intellect and experience........using the brain "god" allegedly gave them....NOT depending on "voices" guiding them....that's weak, stupid, and reeks of flim flam.

I'll readily mock any adult that claims an invisible, inaudible skydaddy telepathically spoke to them. I mock them because it's stupid and it's a lie. "God" has been universally used as a disprovable reason to do anything, including run for president. The mocking is warranted. I don't give people passes because they invoke the "god" word.

So did Bachmann, Santorum, and Perry.

So, either God is really cruel and lied to three people, or three people on the Republican stage are delusional and hear voices in their heads.

You decide.

So you are saying I am not able to run for President or not capable of being President?

You are probably right, I am far too intelligent, articulate, reasonable, level headed and well travelled to be elected President. If the Republican slate is any indication, you want an ignorant hick who is there "cause Jesus said" with foreign policy experience coming from visiting WalMart in the next county.

Jesus certainly wouldn't deny someone certain things because of their religion, or in this case, MUSLIM.
