Democrats Put Language In Their Platform About "God." Which One? RA Ra: HEY EVERYONE! I'm back on the scene - with mad opinions on Medicare solvency! GANESHA Ganesha: Being an elephant, I tried to court Republicans, but they said I was "too ethnic." ARES Ares: I really love what they're doing with drones. GAIA Gaia: I suppose it was too much to ask for a god-DESS. But at least they know how vaginas work.

I have never understood what nominal christians mean when they insist that the Christian god needs an advertising budget spnt by placing the word “god” on things. If they truly believed their version of god is omnipotent and all-knowing advertising shouldn’t be necessary. I can only conclude that is their way of puffing themselves up.

Let’s see…. Ra – wrong Egyptian deity. Sekhmet is sometimes known as “The Lady of Knives”, meaning that she presides over doctors & surgeons. Although Ra is the solar deity that gives Life….Ganesh(a) – God of Compassion & Remover of Obstacles…. heh. I can see why he got rejected by the Republicans.Ares…. Greek god of War; there are plenty of those around the World!Gaia – one of the names of the Earth in deity form; Bors doesn’t realize that She may be mad at us for creating so much pollution.Bors, are you sure you did your homework before you chose these deities?

Are you speaking for yourself as an atheist, or are you just projecting?

That isn’t Ra, but Horus. Ra is the jackal headed god of death. Besides that… Gaia isn’t a godess (unless i forgot something) butone of many defibitions for the planet, or general force of nature.

Where on earth did you get the “supreme being of the universe” from?

I know that, but they like to pander to the Religious Right just so they can get votes..I keep flagging Ima because it keeps coming across that way.

Helpful remedy for you, Canadian: Keep your sinuses drained! Yes, I got that from a MD – one who kept treating me for Bronchitis. I guess he didn’t want to see me catch COPD, so he told me to do that. I’m glad I did; I’ve yet to have a bad case of either cold or flu since I followed his advice!

“Man” invented religions before money, so much for that “root” thingy.
