A Facebook friend (ok, acquaintance) posted a link to a sermon by David Jeremiah, saying it was “on the importance of voting and the selection of God fearing leaders.”
I didn’t watch it because the last thing I need is for some self-proclaimed holy man to tell me how to think. This is what drives me crazy about some ministers: some think they can tell you what God wants better than God Himself can tell you. In this case Jeremiah knows who you should vote for because God apparently told him.
The God that Jeremiah believes in sounds to me like a mighty weak one. Does anyone think for one moment that the Almighty’s power could be thwarted in any way by the outcome of an election? Do you think God really cares about such things? Or, do you think perhaps this only serves to stroke the ego of power-hungry mortals like David Jeremiah?
I’m sure plenty of Jeremiah’s followers will blindly go along with Jeremiah’s wishes. Then there are those who will take the ball and run with it, such as this person who commented on the sermon:

“Lord can you take him?” This clown is actually advocating for the President to die?
There are actually people in this country who are this screwed up and have the right to vote. Incidents like this get me worried about the future of our country.
Not to mention that his spelling and grammar are atrocious.
