Ergot has become problematic in recent years.
It's called targeted sampling and marketing.
God Tells Yet Another - Run For President
- Thread starter Kreskin
- Start date
In Quebec there was a lot of Youthful enthusiasm and those elected for the most part
have or are working on Political Science Degrees. Some might even be idiot a few
NDP and there were some Tories elected as well were there not? Oh and a few Liberals.
Not one of them claimed God was telling them to run.
First when God is telling you to run for President of the United States there are some
serious questions that must be asked.
1. Who is the translator that confers with you and God that you speak the same language?
2 Did he speak in a loud voice or a whisper that he might have been misunderstood?
3 Why would God be so cruel as to wish the job on someone, when America is almost a
lost cause.
4 Are the people who say God has chosen me, mentally stable?
There have been countless tyrants, misfits and outright scoundrels who have made the claim
God chose them to lead, and all of them have usually ended with some disaster along the way.
I always found Oliver Cromwell comes to mind. There was a man that supposedly had God
leading him. Things got so bad the British brought back the Monarchy.
Some religious people I know told me once that W was being led by of all things the Holy Spirit.
We all know how it turned out don't we.
There are idiots in all political parties, and the NDP is no exception, but it seems for the extreme
right and the social conservative movement it is the rule rather than the exception. I suppose it
could be said the extreme left, like the Communists it is also the rule, logic has nothing to do
with those two groups. Ideology rules their thought and that is where the trouble begins.
At least we don't have politicians running for Prime Minister, beckoned by God to lead, if they
make the claim we should collectively Run Forest Run. from their campaign

It all comes down to if you hear Bill Cosbys voice from above - Best listen.;-)
Lest we forget: "god" told bush to invade Iraq.
That is some nasty warmongering 'god" that some of these blokes communicate with. How convenient , as many of the followers will actually buy into it. THAT folks is bloody scary. as is the insanity of such statements.
seriously: I really do believe that all candidates for serious high level office should be screened by psychiatrists. / psychologists. I also think that we might be quite "surprised" by the findings when it comes to the personality types that go into such politics.
Interesting that middle class incomed folks don't seem to qualify.... yet many would be more than suitable for leadership.
Of course, one cannot be naive , as this kind of talk is used for a purpose and targets a certain electoral pool.
better to verify .......:smile:
Of course it is. And it "works"...:-(
why not?? Isn't the job of being "god" to convert ???:smile:
Seriously , Do candidates go through psychological testing as part of the "vetting" process?? IF not.....they certainly should. They do go through a medical exam.....don't they??
Yes there is a vetting process but the people doing the vetting heard God tell them they
could do a vetter job. Sorry couldn't resist the comment.
yes in fact the candidates are supposed to declare anything that could be a detriment to
the party. Really do you think someone who heard God speak to them would say so
before they entered the political arena? If they told the committee they would compromise
Gods will and that won't do.

Uh, because he is a war god, he is recruiting war mongers who he hopes will convert the unwashed masses to war mongers.
No and no. Mostly they go through a vetting process to see if there are any skeletons in the closet that might shake out and piss off the faithful. Bankruptcies and fraud convictions are a nono. Being openly gay would be a negative for rightwingers. To be Pres you have to at least say you believe in god to get the religious vote. Doesn't seem to matter whose god. Brains are optional. Big Ego is a must. Today having smoked pot as a youth is OK but smoking cigarettes will probably disqualify you.
It might be "vetter";-) for the system, if they did have to undergo psychological testing.. This would bring up anything that the committee should be alerted to. It would also serve as baseline .. , should the stresses of the job cause psych issues. or behavior changes.
....and then of course, there is the question of WHICH god are these blokes getting messages from??.;
one of the problems of this kind of talk is that many fall for it and become followers......without reasonable examination of the candidate himself and what he is proposing to do.
While they are at it.........a regular LIE detector test might be in order.......given the politicians tendancy to spin things
What a test to see if they are insane or delusional. If that were to happen they
would all be disqualified, on both sides and there wouldn't be enough left for a
quorum in the House.

so this is how the god uses his followers. .....gets them to do the dirty work for him. :lol: Is there a quota to be achieved and maintained to stay in favor with said goc??

Seems the gods make bad choices so that the governed will pray for deliverance. You see, it's self interest.
THAT is delicious........as a new and creative , positive system would have to be designed. One that would have all the gods in question be limited to the various religous institutions.....and Politics are left to reasonable, sensible and humanitarian people. (and they wouldn't have to be rich) or be friends of friends of...
gee, who woulda thunk it??
I am truly encouraged by the comments I am receiving, on this topic. There are a
few and some discussion but the most important one is actually two. Walter has
given me a bad review on two of them. A bad rating from Walter is like being given
a badge of honour. When I get criticism I question whether I might have said it
differently. Not when Walter ways in though, if he says its bad it must be getting
pretty close to the dead center. Thanks Walter I appreciate your comments
Those who claim God called them to run for President are nuts nothing short of it.
For one thing God would only tell one person to run and the others then must be
worshipping false Gods. Yet they all profess to be Christians. Don't you see
something wrong here? Maybe God is giving the green light to several hoping one
will slip through and actually make it. Of course I said it in jest, God does not tell
people to run for politics. He is not democratic enough for that. Remember God
says its my way or the highway.
Some people who are in leadership will use anything to attain their own agenda
and we have people who lap this nonsense up. Mainstream religious people
cringe when they hear this stuff. People walking with the Holy Spirit while advocating
for war and even starting one for the purpose of getting elected. People like W who
used fear instead of logic and reason. But then W didn't know anything about logic
or reason and he had to play to his strong suit Ignorance and he was really good at
that.

"walter" gave me a thumbs down too. Don't have a clue who he/she is . except that one has to assume he gets a tad defensive when anything to do with god is mentioned. Particularly by a politician who will say such stuff just to appeal to the bible belt .
What you stated in above post speaks of reason and rational thought. and very well articulated. Cudos.
I love this it is turning into some creative writing and some questions about the actions of God
himself. God is not going to make these rulings, the reason is because God does not like to
lose and he knows that the ones who claim to be called by God don't have a hope in hell. If in
fact some some divine miracle they slipped through the rest of us don't have a hope in hell.
It matters not the people are not going to win. Oh if God makes bad decisions to illicit more
prayers, should he not be charged with conflict of interest?

maybe valter should be vetted by some proffessional vetters.
nice catch. (conflict of interest) Seems that no one is purrfect ......not even the war god. Sounds more than a tad vain / arrogant as isn't humilty a prime requirement for the believers of any gods?? Not liking to lose is such a mundane and human characteristic.
