Editor,
I find it fascinating that Pat Robertson claims to be having conversations with God. Robertson claims God told him who is going to win the election this year and become the next President of the United States. However, Robertson can’t tell anyone who it will be. I find that fascinating and disturbing, for three reasons:
First, if he is right, just think of all the stress and anxiety he could relieve by telling us now. That person could begin working directly with Barack Obama on a daily basis until next January to ensure a smooth transition from one administration to the next.
Second, if he is right, just think of all the money that could be saved by not having the campaigns and the elections. All that money could then be used to create jobs in this country by hiring people to begin rebuilding our infrastructure, which is in dire need of reconstruction. In turn, such actions would greatly strengthen our economy.
Finally, the “God” I have conversations with, which is the same “God” that told Moses “I am that I am,” the “God” that is the source of all that is in our universe, told me that it does not know who will win the election. It said the future is a total unknown to all until it unfolds, and that is how we human beings interact with each other. All else that exists on this planet, and the planet itself, will be a highly significant factor in determining the future.
