Joe Biden is the second big enchilada in the political world recently to have invoked god. No, the evaporative prez hasn't stated that the paramatma also sent him to our planet for a purpose, and that once that purpose is achieved, he'll be returning to Krypton. Instead, Joe the Debatable Debater brought the Big Guy into the conversation by stating that 'If the lord almighty came down and said, 'Joe, get out of the race,' I'd get out of the [presidential] race, adding rather blasphemously, especially for America's second Catholic president, 'The lord almighty's not coming down.' With the Second Coming not coming according to Biden, Democrats must be getting on their knees in churches across the US to pray - indeed implore - that god does come down and convince Cotton Eyed Joe to withdraw from the presidential election race. After all, the US dollar bill says it upfront: 'In god we trust.'

But coming back to the god-not-forsaken profession, nothing says 'I'm holier than thou' like a politician talking about divine intervention - or, in Biden's case, divine decision not to intervene with one of his/her creation's free will. Watch out for more politicians across the believing world bringing up their takes on dharma, karma, and moksha in random conversation (read: interviews). These Chosen Ones will, after all, want to be chosen by voters.
