It seems to me that if you truly believe in the Bible, God, Jesus, etc. then you should be living a "good" life and therefore have nothing to fear from our <em>loving</em> God... of course, we can see how easy it is to capitalize on fear these days. I wish there was some way of controlling who could vote that was flawless. For instance, people would have to demonstrate the ability to use logic AND would have to maybe list some of the policies of that candidate s/he is voting for... Essentially, we need a way to weed out the stupid and the ignorant.

On a related note, here is a conversation I had recently with a member of the "God fearing, down to earth folks" community. Her: I tell, ya. It's the end of the world. Me: Oh yeah? How you figure? Her: I think they gonna elect the black guy to be the president. Nostradamus predicted we are going to have a black president just before the end of the world. Me: .... Actually, I think that he meant a black pope... And not necessarily a "black skinned" one - these things are vague like that on purpose so you can interpret them every which way. Her: oh... Sad thing is that people who believe in the silly stuff like that actually go out and vote. Which kinda explains how we ended up with the current government. :P LOL For one I welcome our new slouching overlords!
