Somebody put in another thread the notion that God never gets comforted by prayer. We keep asking favours from him, but we never extend unconditional, giving prayers to him.

So then this guy offered God to cry on his shoulder, to weep, and let the tears come out freely, but not to cauase another Great Flood, please.

Which reminded me of a once oft-used expression, "cry me a river, Liberal!", and that prompted the question: is God Liberal, or Conservative? is there a difference between his apparent political views when we look at the two testaments separately? (We're obviously talking Christian God, as America is a Christian nation, declared by the Great Crusader George Bush.)

If God ran in the present presidential election heading the Party which you NEVER vote for... would that sway your vote? Would you then cross the floor?

When you give an answer, please support your opinion. For this exercise we must ask the atheists and agnostics that for the duration of posting things on this topic, they assume there is a god and form their answers as if they accepted that truth, if only for the time that they consider and answer this topic.

My first reaction would be laughter as I know 'god' does not choose sides.

However, this is actually a good question because some people really DO believe god does back up and support "the righteous" and will destroy the enemies of said righteous.

My mother who is a christian republican absolutely believe that god is on her side. So, since mom says so....
I'm gonna go with..God is a republican.

I'm voting independent. (sorry god, nothing personal)

I have. Be careful though...he'll take you up on your offer.

First two notes before I continue.

1. I'm not a 'true-believer'.
2. I'm so very un-political.

That said.

I'm going with Republican.

Democrats, last I checked, support Abortion. Jesus would have no part in that.

Yet... at the same time.

I'd believe he'd also be a part Democrat.

Mainly because, I believe it's the Demo's who support Israel far more than Republicans.

...that didn't help at all, did it?

Hmmm...

Ok, break it down.

Book of Matthew; Treat the hungry, the sick, the weak.
Preferential option for the poor..
Sharing equitably by all..
Economic justice, redistribution of wealth..

Mark 10:25
"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God."

This all points to Democrat; Republican right-wing psuedo-Christians love celebrating there wealth.

Not to mention, "Do unto others.." Just seems to scream democrat to me.

However...

I still believe he'd start his own party. The WWJD Party or some corn-hobby wash title, but for the sake of it all, I'll lean towards Democrat, and if elected, he'd changed the position of Democrats on Abortion.

In short..

He'd be a Democrat that has shared views from Republicans.

Thought evrybody knew . . . He's Libertarian !! :)

When I see discussions like this I think about a man I knew very well, a US Army veteran of WWII/Normandy invasion, a real hero, that told me this story:

He was recounting the first German soldier he killed in combat. As he walked up to the dead German, he said he was a very young man, probably 18, who had a belt buckle that had German writing on it that basically translated to "God is on Our Side".

As he gazed upon the dead soldier, he thought to himself, "If God is on their side, who the heck is on ours?"

I think god is an ancient alien

Going on the Christian version of what god would be if he/she/it existed, god would be liberal. The rich can't reach the kingdom of heaven per the bible nor can any human who condones killing of other humans. Jesus was a great supporter of helping the poor and downtrodden which would make him liberal. Even criminals were forgiven in Jesus' eyes making him liberal.

DEFINITELY A LIBERTARIAN!!

If anyone ran as a democrat or republican and claimed to be "God" I would know that he was lying.

However, if he ran as a Libertarian, I would be more inclined believe him.

I thought Romney and Santorum(santorum,hehe)represent God?

My first reaction was also laughter.

Then I cried for God.

He abides in the heart of us all.

Can you imagine his sadness during 'political season'?

He walks with 'Independants' also.

neither

I think God picks the side of 'right'

which neither side has a monopoly on

I just asked him, he's a registered independent and has voted for Ross Perot every year since 1992.
