The Kingdom of God isn’t a democracy … it’s a Kingdom … we don’t elect kings …

Elections are strictly a thing of Man … God can only sit back a laugh at this point … democracy is the worst form of government (except all the others invented by Man) … so the United States is getting what they deserve, just flat cowardly to blame His Most Divine Self guy … not His fault …

One of my college roommates often said “Humanity is god’s idea of a practical joke.”

I think roomie was right and this latest dick move is just a fresh pail of water over the door for all of us. I’m just hoping the ensuing pratfall isn’t too painful.
