I am a one-issue voter, and that issue is abortion. I cannot support anyone who is not pro-life.

However, I read a letter to the editor in my local paper and that writer proposed that God knew Obama would become president even before he was conceived. If we believe that God knows all and ordains all, what does Obama’s election mean? And does that mean that all elections are meaningless since the winner is already preordained?

I think that the main point in Genesis is free will. And free will seems to be in conflict with “preordained”. In my case, I can’t believe we were put here to just run out a predestined clock (so to speak).

God gives us free will. He also offers many tests of our Faith and our Resolve.

I believe the zero's presidency will be a test for all peoples of faith. Sadly, some of my Catholic brethren have been tested and found wanting -- they voted for obama.
