Reality is truly more nutty then fiction.

This is another example of why religion and politics should NEVER mix when it comes to policy.

I asked god about this and he claims he's never heard of the guy... Apparently there is only one person who is with us at the moment that god sent to rule over us but apparently because god loves to do that "moves in mysterious ways" stuff Brittney spears doesn't even know about it herself...

Divine Right of Kings is sooo ninth century.

If I was an Ayatollah I wouldn't want to be recognized by God. I'd shave my beard off and dye my hair and if he said "Hey, aren't you the Supreme Leader of Iran", I'd say: "You know, if I had a dollar for every time someone said that ..."

You know, if there were a God, I'd hope he'd at least be able to recognize the leaders of each of the nations. I mean, it's only courteous.

I've been saying all along that God "is a ass".
