I heard this posed on an old TV show and thought it was an interesting question to the believers and non-believers out there. If there were an election for god today, would you vote to re-elect your current god? I would tune in to watch those debates!
If you would vote to re-elect, why? If not, what qualities would you want in a new god? Tougher on crime, immigration, or maybe endorses world-wide health care? People have a hard enough time objectively voting for a president, I wonder if voting for a god would be any different.

Come on 7! You know how this works, don't play ignorant. You've seen the predictions of Nostradamus. It's code man, how more obvious can it be, rearrange the letters to see the message
Each block of coded/cipher text is in lowercase and the matching rearranged text is in uppercase. It's written as anagrams, here's how it works: just rearrange/anagram it
I got my official = YOGI COMA IF LIFT
banned from mega = FAMED BRAN GNOME
notice in the mail = TEACH LITE MINION
today f you t = DO YOU FATTY
You see, simple really. You're welcome...

Honest admission: I have not voted in 16 years and I am not registered to any political party. It is because I am a business-person and I knew 16 years ago that anyone could be judged in a negative way, based upon their presidential vote or party affiliation. I am referring to business, i.e. strategic partners, banks, colleagues, etc.
So, if anyone did a background check, no one can make any decision about me based on politics. This lets them judge me based upon my business record and reputation.
Thanks.Helping one person may not change the world, but it could change the world for one person.

I or many here could vote to re-elect say an "iron-god" a god of lifting so to speak........
But the currently elected god is the one who gave us muscles and the tools to make them grow, so whats the point in an "iron-god"?

I was talking more about a god of the universe.
Imagine the campaign commercials.
I will give you a world free of cancer. I am Yahweh and I approved this message.
Or I am Baal and I will give you a world free of natural disasters.
Or I am Allah and I will promise 30 virgins for each and every vote."It is my own fault for replying in a smith thread." deadwoodgregg

It’s kind of like a comic book showdowns forum . Basically wwf fantasy matches imo. Might be fun but a serious answer is one is real the rest are fictional. But the ancient wonder Zeus and his cabinet of hades, Poseidon, Hermes, Athena, etc could get it. Strictly a fiction fight opposing maybe the gods of Egypt. His statue had fallen during the introduction and the rise of Christianity.
I often fantasy about being alive in those BC and initial AD times and it’s so beautiful to imagine civilization back then on earth. . Before technology. I’d have loved seeing the colossus of Rhodes statue or other Greek statues built by men.BLM (Brock Lesnar Matters)

So the goat joke/meme may not be a joke then.
I'm in favour of satire, if beliefs are too fragile (or intolerant) for a bit of satire then they have no substance. Roll on the thread!
LWW .. if there was a god of lifting, surely it'd be a Norse god? Or just maybe Greek, something seems more badass about the Nordic ones though

LOL, now that's funny..."Serious answer".
The debates would be awesome:
Allah: Yahweh is too wishy washy on homosexuality. Maybe you stone them, maybe not. I say you kill them all. Yahweh is too soft on crime period! Love thy neighbor, hog wash, I say you kill them if they're different than you.
Yahweh: Read my lips...no new tithes.
Zeus: I was killing humans before these two clown were even born.
Anu: Don't get me started Zeus, I'm at least 2000 years older than you!
