In an interview with controversial conservative Christian author David Barton last week, talk show host Glenn Beck implied that God was helping to sway the election in Mitt Romney’s favor.
Although Beck, a onetime critic of the Republican nominee, admitted Romney wasn’t his first choice, or even his second, he also said that “God is trying to make this so clear to us that if it happens, it’s his finger.” The “it” in this sentence being the presidency.

Anyway, it gives me a pretty cool title.
But, what happens if Romney does not win? Does this mean that God lost as well?

Fortunately God is smarter than Glenn Beck… I’m sure He’s just waiting to zap the house and senate with a bolt of lightning.
