A message from God: Religion and politics don't mix

Someone wanted me to post this message:

To whom it may concern,

I used to be called Yaweh, some of you know me as Jehovah, and to some of you I am Allah. Whatever you want to call me, I am God Almighty, Creator of Everything (well, almost everything), blah, blah, blah... You know who I am, though I wonder if you really know me, but that's a different story.

I'm addressing all of you today because I'm a bit concerned about y'all. Let me begin by saying, it's been 200,000 years since I created you and I see you're still playing your war games and throwing my name around like its going out of style (hello, it is out of style). I know, it's my fault about the wars, but those were different times and I was experimenting. When I saw the error of my ways I sent you Buddha, but he never quite caught on in the west, until recently (and don't even get me started on hippies). Some of you aren't comfortable with the idea of me not being in the picture.

So, I tried again and I sent you my son Jesus Christ. And what did you do? You crucified him! He was supposed to spread the Word of love and peace and forgiveness, not die on a cross! Since then I've tried to let keep my godly hands out of your bloody messes.

I'm very concerned by what's going on in the presidential elections. It seems that recently presidential candidates McCain and Obama created a spectacle on -of all networks- CNN, when they addressed questions about their faith and religious viewpoints, and how they affect their political ideas.

Didn't they get the memo? Religion and politics don't mix(see First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution). It's passe...

Things got really ridiculous when the question of evil was brought in to the conversation. The candidates were asked what each would do in the face of "evil"(I really can't believe CNN went there):

Obama said he'd "confront it".

McCain said he'd "defeat it".

I say, who cares what either of these two clowns thinks about evil. Has anyone heard of separation of church and state? It's an inappropriate question to ask a presidential candidate in a constitutional democracy. Besides, all of you know what to do about "evil", you cease the evil-doing (see Iraq occupation, off-shore drilling, etc), and seek redemption. It's not to be debated on cable television by power-hungry men in suits; it cheapens the Word of my son J.C. and it's an insult to the democratic process.

Enough with the pandering, CNN and all other sensationalist news media. This is politics not the church pulpit, so stop wasting people's time with pointless debates about morality.

Nobody is 100 per cent moral, and all of you are evil to some degree (some more than others, I'm talking to you President Mugabe). I gave you all a moral compass (have you forgotten the Ten Commandments?) and free will, I suggest you use it at this upcoming election.

That's all for now. Keep your prayers coming...

God
