A Prayer to a Once Powerful Deity

Please Mr. Yahweh, please please please don't let Benjamin Netanyahu win the election in Israel tomorrow. I am very afraid he'll bomb Iran and start a major world war. The world needs political leaders who listen and negotiate and make gains through complicated diplomacy instead of bombs. I was amazed by Obama's first press conference this evening. We need more of that sort of leadership, less "kick their butts" hardliner garbage that Bibi brings to the table. Please Yahweh? I didn't eat catfish all day.

Yeah, but did you eat shrimp? 'Cause we all know God hates shrimp!

Well Michael, it doesn't seem like you have much clout with Yehweh. Bebe Natenyahu just secured the support (conditional) of the ultra nationalist party chief. This would appear to make him the front runner to be selected to form the government.

Anonymous is certainly correct. But maybe the fact that it was so close, and that Kadima won more seats than was predicted, maybe that shows that Yahweh wants peace too. Anyway, won't happen anytime soon sadly.
