Hurricane Sandy...

Post by _Drifting »

Is Hurricane Sandy God's way of ensuring Willard wins or is He trying to make sure he doesn't win?

So you don't think it's God casting his vote early then...

why would i think that? (or for that matter...why would anyone think that?)
Do you think that God is voting for Stewart Alexander? or maybe Jimmy McMillan?

Well I was assuming Mitt was taking advantage of the guidance that comes with the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost, whereas Obama doesn't have that. So I'm pretty certain Mormons believe God is having a hand in this election (some are even trying to swing it by fasting and praying to God).
So I guess I'm wondering if "Sandy" is Gods way of keeping Democrats from voting ... Or maybe frightening Republicans into getting off their asses to vote.

If God isn't pulling the strings for "Sandy" then how can we reasonably be expected He could have flooded the earth...

The OP does not seem to question God's relationship with Sandy....but rather that Sandy has any relationship with the election....and on that point you have yet to provide any reasonable argument.
I see no reason to infer, speculate, or conclude that Sandy has any influence on the election with regard to either candidate...or another candidate for that matter.
Apparently you seem to imagine otherwise...so, please explain your train of thought of how Sandy specifically relates to the election.

Nice to see that the Democrats aren't politicizing a natural disaster because that would be crass. Oh, wait. :lol:
