On Saturday's Religion page in The Washington Post, they highlighted the latest hot item from their On Faith website, which really should be called On Doubt, since it so heavily promotes atheism and liberalism. This time, it was New Age guru Deepak Chopra, denouncing the allegedly ridiculous idea that God should play a role in the voting booth:
There never will be, and never should be, a religious reason to pick one candidate over another. God hasn't personally voted in an American election, but he keeps voting by proxy. In an ideal world that would never happen. Supernatural beings aren't citizens. Omniscient deities don't make choices (since they already know every outcome in advance). To anyone who holds a serious regard for the Constitution, voting your faith should be a private matter, not a public one. It wouldn't make me happy to know that a Catholic friend voted for someone solely because he was a Catholic, or that a Jewish friend voted for someone solely because he took a hawkish stand pro Israel, but that's their right. No public discussion is required.
Yet we have to be realistic. God is going to vote by proxy this year. The real question is where his massive voting bloc is heading, now that the Republican Party has been so thoroughly discredited. Can we hope that religious voting will return to being a private matter? In the past, various noxious movements that were anti-Catholic and anti-Semitic made grabs for political leverage, only to sink back into the miasma. Is something like that about to happen now?

What a total horses ass this guy is, and my apologies to horses everywhere. People of faith consider all life affecting decisions based on their religion. And they should.
Deep-Pockets Chopra. Phony, smarmy, creepy...
The only god this guys has is the almighty dollar...
De Pac has to keep his up image for the west coast celeb driven new age crowd buying the latest mystical quackery. If people showed up and saw McCain signs on his lawn and a rifle rack for moose hunting they would be horrified... until he tells them “I have to touch the other side of my mystical moochie num nums...”
De Pac has to keep up his Peter Sellers “The Party” image in tact.
Don’t forget, Deepak Chopra was one of the ones who wanted Terri Schiavo killed, put to death, deprived of life - and she was.
The only god this guys has is the almighty dollar...
And the adulation of the elitist left coasters.
