God is the one who chooses our rulers. And if we are the ones not actively involved in electing those godly men and women and if people aren’t involved in helping godly men in getting elected than we’re going to have a nation of secular laws. That’s not what our founding fathers intended and that’s certainly isn’t what God intended.

Oh there's a 'non contradiction award'. Shit lady, make up your mind, either 'he' chooses them or 'he' doesn't!
God is the one who chooses our rulers.
Does god need our help? Wow, I feel powerful now.
solomongrundy, I think the whole divine right thing was basically thrown out (or at least heavily played down) a while back, maybe as far as the English civil war, although I could be wrong. (Not a historian, didn't study that period - somebody knowledgable please help me out).

Well, if God chooses our leaders, why do we still vote?

Non-Contradiction Award, Alternate Bizarro Universe Award, or History Revisionist Award each would be applicable to this post. Way to cover the bases!
The bitch is running for election to Congress.
"God is the one who chooses our rulers."According to the Babble, that is true. It's hard to believe that GWB, Dick, Rummy and Brownie were "God's" choices. Of course, by your own logic, it means that Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Barney Frank and Barbara Boxer were all selected by "God," too.
"And if we are the ones not actively involved in electing those godly men and women and if people aren’t involved in helping godly men in getting elected than we’re going to have a nation of secular laws."
Why does your omnipotent "God" need your help to get his choices elected? Maybe, "God" doesn't exist and those choices are actually YOUR choices. Yeah, that sounds right.
We are SUPPOSED to be a nation of secular laws. That was one of the most important tenets of the founding fathers of the United States.
"That’s not what our founding fathers intended and that’s certainly isn’t what God intended."
You obviously have a very poor grasp of your own nation's history. Read up on Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Ben Franklin, James Madison and, though I know you'll hate it, Thomas Paine. Look up Deism. Read up on the Enlightenment.
P.S. I couldn't care less what you think your imaginary friend intended.

Admittedly, Prince Charles has said that he wishes to be titled 'Defender of faith', rather than 'Defender of the faith' when (if) he becomes king, (although it would be contrary to the Coronation Act 1688). How he could spin this so as to not conflict with his being head of the Church of England remains to be seen ;-)
'Treaty of Tripoli bitch' seconded. You want to lead and you don't even know the history of your own country?
Yes, God wants submission, but also wants leaders to be godly. The same God who ordains leaders, as opposed to directly choosing them, can also see them out.The Divine Right of Kings was published.
Vote for Katherine Harris! If she wins:
