This is my first diary, so please be kind.
During the course of the campaign, I regularly received unsolicited e-mails from GOP supporters I know, who, for whatever reason, either think I must be a Republican or who just like sending out crap. Most of the e-mails were the general "OMG! Hussein is a Muslim!" or "Snoop Dogg to Head the DEA!!" posts. But right before the election, I got a different kind of e-mail, asking me to be part of a prayer chain. I am attaching the e-mail with my comments (I do not believe it is copyrighted material).
This e-mail has led me to conclude that God is an Obama supporter.
Actual e-mail is in bold, my comments are in italics.
Last minute....but not for God....He is listening and will continue to hear us. Be blessed, dear ones.
Comment -- he is listening, and decided to cast his vote for Obama.
Please pass this prayer on right now on behalf of John McCain. Please start prayer chains immediately for the election. This election can be turned around for the glory of God if we will stop worrying and get on our knees !!!
Comment -- insert Jim Baker/Jessica Hahn reference.
How many people can you pass this on to ???
Comment -- Answer: none.
Let us pray. Father, in the name of Jesus, we come to You right now asking for a miracle in this election. Lord, we lift up to You right now Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin. Lord, we ask that You would just wrap Your arms around them and their families at this critical time. Father, we ask for miracle upon miracle in this election. We know that only You can turn the tide of evil in this election.
Comment -- Great, surprise, surprise. When your opponent is winning an election there is a "tide of evil." If God is all powerful then I suppose that he wouldn't have allowed the "tide of evil" to grow up to the point it had. And by the way, McCain campaign manager Rick Davis said McCain was basically tied in every single battleground state -- so...........was a flat-footed tie a "tide of evil"? Or was the "tide of evil" how full of shit Rick Davis is/was?
Father, as we await the final days of the election, we ask in complete faith that You would allow the truth to be known across this land.
Comment -- prayer answered.
Lord, we ask for forgiveness for putting You last...
Comment -- ???
Father, please heal our land and homes, allow us to have another chance to love You the way you should be loved.
Comment -- prayer answered.
Lord, we ask specifically for John and Sarah's health, wisdom, words, actions and their campaign staff.
Comment -- too easy, I won't take the bait.
Lord, we lift them all up to You now. Father, we also specifically ask for the voters in many states who are battleground states. Lord, please convict the hearts of voters in Florida, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, North Dakota, Virginia, Nevada and Colorado.
Comment -- Rick Davis must be REALLY hurt by this one. Where is Iowa? Minnesota? New Mexico? Our polls show us............oh shit, never mind.
This is like me praying to God as a 20 year old guy with no girlfriend and asking, "And please in particular convict the hearts of the really GOOD LOOKING girls who are not already in relationships."
Father we beg for every electoral vote.
Comment -- wow.
Lord, we lift all of our needs up to You now. In the name of Jesus we claim victory in Your name.
Comment -- good, cuz you didn't get any other victory.
Lord, we pray for Your will to be done in a mighty way...we know that this election can and will glorify You! Father, place the man you would have to lead our country in a Christian way on November 4. We love You, Lord. We await Your holy miracles... In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen.
Comment -- Conclusion: God is an Obama supporter.
Send this on to as many people as you can think of.....let it reach every corner of America. Get on your knees for this election....Pray for God to send a REVIVAL across this land. Christians, its time we get on our knees....talk to people, speak up....we've been silent too long.
Comment -- Yes, cuz the evangelical Christians in this nation have been pretty inactive in GOP circles over the last 30 years. Time for them to speak up.
