You firmly and strongly believe in a GOD abi, but yet to you, God only helped Hillary to get to where she is right? What about you, me, Obama, and others in this world? Who do you think is also technically helping us to get to where we are and want to be, if not for God? So do not come here and use God when it suits you as it does not make you relevant in your point and that was why I made that statement about the using God issue.
Samira, you are right on!

I am always weary of using God in this way. It almost means those that are not successful in this world, are not receiving God's grace. Like all rich, famous or powerful people got there only because of God. Really? What about a millionaire who is a devil worshipers? Or evil leaders like Hitler or Stalin? Eee is right about arguing about religion. It is a never ending story.

But my favorite story was when the junior Eagles were in the final of some cup. And they were playing against Argentina. When they asked the Nigerian team how do they expect to play in the final, they said stuff like "God will give us the power", "We will win in Jesus name!" and more stuff like that. When they asked the Argentinian team they said "Well the Nigerian are fast we need to keep them in front of us", "We can't make mistakes or we will lose", etc.... See the difference?

They beat us silly...

My point, like yours, did they win because God wanted them to win and he us to lose? Or did he endow both teams and players with abilities and the gift to use them and they just used them better that day?

There might be 1 million women exactly like Hilary Clinton out there. With all the qualities and intelligence, but she, though hardwork, dilligence and yes ambition, she reached the heights she has reached. And why is her ambition such a bad thing? If a man had her credential we would be singing his praises from the heavens. She is an amazingly accomplished brilliant woman.. And I would be proud to have her as president.....

<but I think I'm still voting for Obama...>
