To the rest of your post Frem, and especially that, I agree completely. I'm surely no poster child for Christianity, but most of the people who think they are are sorely mistaken too.
That's the part of the message that I really love, and that most people who "follow" seem to forget about. There is not one single righteous person on this planet. Not One. The second you go around thinking you're better than somebody else because your faith if the "right" faith, why should anyone listen to you?
Does god, if there is one, work in ways we couldn't understand? Sure... I believe that. Afterall, the most common position we die in is a fetal position, symbolizing the fact that we're not much more mature when we go than when we came into the world.
I really think the only reason that I pretend that there might not be a god is because I'm not willing to let myself be judged by him for what I've done. I can't speak for you, but why do you think I can point out all of this manipulation and evil? It's because I know that if I were in charge I'd be doing a lot of it myself, and also trying to hide the fact it was being done to the proles in the process.
I admit that. I wish our politicians would before we voted them in, since they're the only knobs that aren't held up to any accountability when they fail or completly lie to us. More folks will know what I'm talking about in 4 years.
Just leave me alone and I'll leave you alone. So what if I want to smoke a damn cigarette in my apartment? Who's it really hurting but me?
I'm sick of people from all sides and angles trying to force their ways on other people.

Well Jack, I dunno about Judgement, but I do hold a mild suspicion that folks are sent to the afterlife most suited to them even if it's not their own...
And as such, I am very likely to get roughed up on my way to Valhalla for groping the Valk who comes to collect me.

I've no doubt been wrong about my fair share of things in the past. I certainly didn't want McCain in office either, so it was either a Giant Douche or a Turd Sandwich. I'll leave it to you to decide which one we got.
I'm hoping that something good comes out of it though, and that the vast majority of Americans were right. Given that there will obviously be some sort of change for the better or worse now, I have a list of things I'd like to see Obama do. I don't have any faith he will do any of them, but here's my Obama Change Wishlist:
1. Give GWB a fair and balanced trial for his war crimes and his pissing on the Constitution and American freedoms. (I mean fair and balanced as in the Websters dictionary use of the term, and not FOX News' No-Spin-Zone spin on the term)
2. Immediate investigations into any CEO or board member getting paid any sort of bonus (with or without taxpayer dollars) involved in any company that is losing money, losing their shareholders money, laying off workers, denying workers their cost of living increases that match inflation, fudging books, cutting back on employee benefits to secure the bottom line for the quarter, or in any other way jeopardize the lives of the people who work for the companies or have invested their money in them based on lies.
3. End the endless war on terror that serves no other purposes than to piss everyone else in the world off and dump 12 billion dollars a month in that shit hole when they have plenty of oil money to fight their own battles.
4. Reverse his treasonous vote for telco-immunity for spying on American citizens.
5. Putting a very quick end to this shit http://www.armytimes.com/news/2008/09/army_homeland_090708w/ and making sure that when we bring our troops home they aren't foot soldiers for the Government to pummel us into submission.
6. The tell corporate at my office that they have to make an outdoor smoking shelter for us where we have winter since they kicked us out in the cold. (Corporate happens to be in Florida)
I'm sure I can think of a million more things, but that's just what's on my mind this second.
What is your Obama wishlist?
16 years and 3 Presidents later and none of this was done.
I can't imagine that 28 year old me really thought any of it was ever going to be done either.
At least the smoking shelter thing worked itself out though. That company I was working for at the time joined the long list of companies that failed some time after I stopped working there, and since I don't work now I can smoke whenever I want, wherever I want.
And they all lived happily ever after.
The End.

Trump will be fine.
He will also be your next President.
