Evangelicals Start Write In Campaign For Jesus – Calling Both Obama AND Romney, ‘Satan’

A vote for Obama or Romney is a vote for Satan. The Live Prayer Church — operating through television and internet — has been circulating (or trying to circulate) an argument against voting for either candidate. Their solution? Write in Jesus!

This wouldn’t be newsworthy except for the amazing fact that 1,649,176 people have signed the petition already, and that number is growing all the time. The organization (I’m not going to call any organization that engages in heavy political speech a “church”) says that third party candidates are a waste of time, as seen below:

So who is a Christian to vote for with a clear conscience? The answer is simple…JESUS!!!

I am encouraging true followers of Jesus Christ to say NO to satan (sic) and say YES to Jesus! This November, write in the name JESUS for President! The option will be several third party candidates. Sadly, no candidate outside of the two major parties have any chance at winning the election. So rather than vote for a third party candidate, write in the name of Jesus for President.

Yeah, because Jesus has a shot at winning the election, right? People, please don’t waste your vote. Vote for somebody that can legally run. Even were he present on the earth right now, he isn’t a citizen of the United States. Also, somebody should probably inform the writer of the plea to vote for Jesus of the following quote by F. Scott Fitzgerald: “Cut out all these exclamation points. An exclamation point is like laughing at your own joke.”

The top comment is:

So, because they hate Obama, they are going to write in the name of a foreign born, brown skinned socialist who gave away free healthcare?

1. Two Satans !

Goodness gracious, that's a lot.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

2. I will care about their reasons for writing in Jesus

exactly 2 days after Obama is declared the winner. Until then I am happy for every vote not going to Romney.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

3. If they write in Jesus instead of Romney that's OK

it would be strange if Jesus won

[jwirr]

4. They are playing into our hands. And I like your comment.

[Canuckistanian]

5. Anything we can do to encourage this?

I like this new movement.

[Enrique]

6. "for more information on the Mormon cult..."

For more information on the Mormon cult, visit: www.votingforsatan.com

I did, and...



The purpose of this website is to educate the public on the Mormon cult. It is in no way meant to tell people who to, or who not to vote for.

[aletier_v]

14. Wow. I was wondering where the Christian backlash was

Romney is a moral quagmire, a religious boobytrap.

[Berlum]

44. Oh my. The Fundie Hate-and-Fear Club is soiling its diapers.

Shocking. Just shocking.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. But, but, but, ..., Jesus doesn't have a US birth certificate! nt

[Anarcho-Socialist]

9. Yeah he's a Palestinian

[whistler162]

13. But unlike John Sununu, another Palestinian, I would listen to him!

[proReality]

12. No, but according to Mormons,

Jesus did come to America and teach the natives living here during his time. I guess that must count for something.

[treestar]

22. That must have given him a chance for naturalization

but then he is still not native-born, and neither is his father! We have no idea where his Father was born!

[silvershadow]

55. Funny, you would think the native Americans would have told us about his by now. nt

[tanyev]

24. And he didn't make it to 35 years of age!

Which brings up an interesting question. After the resurrection did he stay a perpetual 33 years of age, or did the clock start rolling again?

[Myrina]

48. That means he's also not old enough to be Prez

Or is that what you were getting at?

[tanyev]

57. Yep. Does not meet constitutional requirements to be Prez.

Glad the Talibornagains take democracy so seriously.

[Arugula Latte]

53. But, hey, at least Jesus was white, with blond hair and blue eyes of course.

T

[liberalmuse]

8. Bless them.

And good luck, Jesus!

[Renew Deal]

10. I strongly encourage Romney supporters to vote for Jesus.

[randome]

21. Exactly!

In fact, the DNC should be running ads encouraging the fundie types to vote for Jesus! It's a winning situation!

[closeupready]

51. I agree.

[Anthony McCarthy]

11. Sell all you have and give the money to the poor

Do unto others what you would have done unto you, let the first among you cast the first stone, which of these was his neighbor....

If Jesus was eligible and had a chance of winning, I'd vote for his policies. It's better for them to vote for him than for Mitt Romney, but with that platform I'd have thought he was more likely to get Obama voters.

[FiveGoodMen]

32. Agreed on all points.

[DBoon]

42. Think of the opposition ads

[oberliner]

15. That number is bogus

How are people so gullible?

[heaven05]

16. could

they both be satan!!!!!!?????? Right. Exclamation for effect. SNL had a skit where the character asks, "Can it be satan?" To me it was funny as hell. I think it was 'the churchlady' skit.

[nichomachus]

17. Why would anyone vote for

My gardner? He's a nice guy, but I'm not sure he's presidential material -- although he would probably be better than Romney.

[jaysunb]

40. Jesus is your gardener too ?

And I agree, he seems like a really nice fellow, but I hadn't thought of him as presidential material.

[Bluzmann57]

18. I thought one of the criteria for being President

was actually being alive. A living breathing human being. Jesus Christ is dead and has been for many years.
Did you write that "top comment"? It's pretty good.

[randome]

19. There is some doubt about the whole being dead/eternal life thing.

It's a complicated subject.

[lindysalsagal]

28. No, I didn't. But I've read that many times on DU.

[gopiscrap]

20. I am actually encouraging this low hanging fruit to do so

because these are the same neanderthals that would never vote for Obama anyway...just hurting rmoney that's all!!!

[DonRedwood]

23. You left out "Middle Easterner"

[Lightsource777]

25. Scary

Satans are multiplying? Mayans were right!

[getting old in mke]

26. Somehow I don't think

they have the same view of "Jesus Christ for President" as Woody Guthrie...

...

The only way we can ever beat
These crooked politician men
Is to run the money changers out of the temple
Put the Carpenter in

O It's Jesus Christ our President
God above our king
With a job and a pension for young and old
We will make hallelujah ring

Every year we waste enough
To feed the ones who starve
We build our civilization up
And we shoot it down with wars

...

[patrice]

27. Oh? So, Jesus ISN'T already Lord? & That depends upon what a bunch of mixed-up humans think?

No wonder they never have recognized him and crucified him the "first" time around.

[rucky]

29. That's my plumber's name

I suppose he'd make a pretty good President

[kestrel91316]

30. Wow, twin Satans! I remember reading about that somewhere in the bible.

Yeah, I know it's in there somewhere.

[Teamster Jeff]

31. The ultimate church/state argument

However, I support all RW fundies who write in Jesus in this election and every future election. If Jesus ever wins he will be the most liberal president that we have ever had.

[Ian David]

33. We should probably encourage this, shouldn't we? It's not like they were going to vote for Obama. nt

[truthisfreedom]

34. Best spoiler we could hope for. Mittens is a cult member, Obama is a "muslin". America is the butt

of its own joke.

[valerief]

35. Why did Reagan stop funding the state mental hospitals? nt

[Coyotl]

36. They are sooo going to enjoy paying taxes after losing non-profit status

RULE: If you live in the metaphysical tax-free world, don't interject yourself into real world politics

[patrice]

41. +++++1

[Coyotl]

56. Let's organize some under-cover videos of the mega-churches and their preachers, a la James O'Keefe

and get the evidence for the IRS. Just think of how much money we could garner for public education in districts with churches worth more than the schools!

[patrice]

59. There was something around here called the Mainstream Coalition who used to do similar work.

They sold out to become moderates and are now, with the help of some of our state "Democrats", backing a Republican in a state House race, a Republican "moderate" who ABSENTED herself from the vote on SUBSIDY-Sam's new tax policy that zeroed out taxes on corporate owners' incomes, everyone from the moms-&-pops to the Koch bros in this state.

Yep. I'm REAL interested in how moderates are SUPPORTED by POLITICAL CHURCHES and I'm not the only one.

[Maeve]

37. Go, lemmings, go! eom

[LeftyMom]

38. I would like to see Jesus' long form birth certificate.

World Net Daily says he was born in the Roman province of Judea.

[Major Nikon]

39. Makes about as much sense as a write-in campaign for Daffy Duck

However, I have no problem with fringe nuts throwing their vote away.

[triplepoint]

43. Before ANYONE Writes in Jesus for President, Perhaps They Should See the "movie" First...

You can watch the ENTIRE movie online at this site:
http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/the-god-who-wasnt-there


Like to Go to "Camp?" If you STILL want to believe, try this one:

There are eight parts to this movie that you'll find there on youtube. If I put all of them in here, this post will likely get wiped by a DU jury. So it goes. You know now where the entire movie is at least.

[Iliyah]

45. Well obviously they weren't going to vote for Pres O in the first place

and Mittens is depending on them so therefore so be it. I would assume that Jesus would decline that offer because he cares for the small people and judging from a lot of evangelist, they don't care for the little people.

[rizlaplus]

46. I'm Shocked, I tell you I'm Shocked

[skeewee08]

47. A vote for Jesus is a vote for President O

[Bozita]

49. "Jesus 2012" - lawn sign spotted last week

I couldn't read the small print.

[barbtries]

50. most of them would probably have voted for romney

on the bases of abortion and gay rights. whatever. i wonder if they think he'll return to earth if they write his name enough.

[jerseyjack]

52. I agree .... This takes about a million wanker votes from Rmoney or Paul.

[Mustellus]

54. "My kingdom is not of this world"......

Or in more modern English:

If nominated I will not run....
... If elected I will not serve.

[NICO9000]

58. This is fine with me

I actually respect this idea. Since the evangelicals really don't like Mormonism, I'd rather they do this than hold their nose and give that SOB any more votes.

[pinto]

60. Hi. Great piece, but it doesn't meet Late Breaking News guidelines. See a much earlier DU post -
