Seriously, I dont know the role God plays in our elections if any, but it is curious that despite Obamas perceived World popularity, and McCain being so unpopular with the typical Republican voter, that they are in tied on almost all polls, and McCain even leads on some. Obama should be blowing McCain away, and he is just not.
One must decide what one believes about God's watchcare over history and nations, and whether God has an endgame.
If God is the “Deist” God, Who created and then went forever back in to chambers never to interfere, then it is in man's hands alone.
I recommend reading Arnold Guyot (1800s) on the subject.
I don't believe that God is disinterested. I believe that He divided the nations, even if man thinks man did it. I believe He does have an endgame, and I believe also that he gives a nation the leadership that that nation (as a whole) DESERVES.
