God doesn't control everything, so no - everything that happens is not God's will. He gave us free will. Actually, he gave Satan power to reign over the earth - for a time. So maybe it's Satan's will that Obama was elected.

The Bible says God raises up kings and deposes of them. It is God's will that Obama is President, like it or not. That may not be a good thing though because when a nation chooses evil God will give them an evil king, and they will suffer the consequences.

Right. God didn't call or will or favor any particular outcome to this or any election. To think otherwise is hogwash.

God totally loves the Obamas, the Bidens, the Romneys, the Pauls, and everyone who voted for any of them, and everyone who didn't vote at all. And people who pay their bills on time and people who pay them late or not at all.
In God's metaphorical "eyes", we are all equally cherished.

Wow, I learn something new from xians everyday. Let me see, if god orchestrates who he gives whatever "free will" to, isn't he ultimately responsible for everything that occurs

So, Obama (not god of course, obama's visible) gave the Navy free will to shoot Bin Laden in the face but he wouldn't have been responsible if the mission failed?

Man, god should've written a better book. He had eternity to write it and the bible is the best he could come up with? He should just do a youtube instructional video or get a twitter page or something. Praying is so 6th Century.

Hmmm....when Repubs win, I gotta hear all these right wing religio-fanatics like Pat Robertson, Ralph Reed, Franklin Graham, and others tell me how it was God's plan. Moreover, I've seen SEVERAL Mitt Romney campaign signs saying "Pray for America....vote Mitt Romney." And rest assured, millions prayed for Romney to "heal our nation and turn us back to God."

And since conservatives insist that America is "blessed by God" and we're supposedly a Judeo-Christian nation, why isn't that true all of a sudden now? Didn't God make his choice?
