Will you vote in a mock election...?

If an election were to be held giving you the option to choose between three candidates of equal qualification and character in all respects except for their religious affiliations, how would you cast your votes in the following three example races?





Example #1: (a race for the Senate)


Candidate A is a........ Southern Baptist


Candidate B is a ....... Born Again Christian


Candidate C is a ....... Roman Catholic





Example #2: (a race for the House of Representatives)


Candidate A is a........ Jew


Candidate B is a ....... Muslim


Candidate C is a ....... Mormon





Example #3: (a race for Circuit Court Judge)


Candidate A is a........ Wicca


Candidate B is a ....... Pagan


Candidate C is a ....... none





Which religions affiliated individuals would you trust most to represent you politically in these three election decisions?





Please step into the voting booth and make your three selections.

Will you vote in a mock election...?
I cannot in good conscience participate in this type of election.





IMO-Selection of a candidate based solely on a declared religious affiliation is dangerous and irresponsible.





Thank you for asking...and I understand that my failure to participate in the election forfeits my right to complain about the new establishment.


Blessings to you and yours.
Reply:I say an atheist for President, Senate, Congress etc. is the only way we will ever be unbiased!
Reply:IF everyone was really equal in all qualifications and all represented my outlooks equally, I suppose I'd have to flip a coin, or vote for the cutest, or who had the best name. Religion would, at most, weigh no more heavily than how cute he was. I vote on issues.

Reply:what a nasty question. asking us to judge people on their religion alone. oh well, it's interesting though...





1 C


2 A


3 C





2 is really tough.
Reply:I don't vote for someone based upon their religion.


I vote based upon their adherence to the Constitution and their understanding of individual freedom.
Reply:I don't vote based upon religious beliefs. I vote honesty, integrity, and having the tools to get the job done fairly. There are so many hypocrites and religious nuts to base a decision on someones claims rather than their record is asking for trouble or a vote for Hillary in my opinion.
Reply:If they're all equal, and they've all made their religious affiliations (or lack thereof) known to the media, then they're all horrible. Which one's the third party candidate? I'm voting for him; that's what I normally do when I don't like my options.
Reply:I guess it would depend on where you are voting. Good luck if you are voting in the United States. What with screwed up dimpling on ballots. And did anyone show up? Could they even get there? As for me, I screwed up my ballot... I voted for balanced democracy.


Looking over the answers people gave, it really looks like a bad bar joke.


A Catholic, a Jew and a Pagan walk into a bar...
Reply:Good news everyone!





This text is too small for me to read. The ballot is confusing!





Huh? Oh I'm supposed to bash the polls AFTER I vote? Whoops.





Okay, then here's how I would vote:





1.) C





2.) C





3.) C
Reply:I will vote for the Jew the Catholic and the Pagan.
Reply:C probably not strong in their faith (don't know many catholics that are fanatical


A same reason


C no faith blinding their decision making, they would hopefully go on what's right and legal
Reply:#1--C


#2--C


#3--C
Reply:1 - C





2 - A





3 - C
Reply:example 1 doesn't make much sense as all 3 could be born again Christians. For the sake of argument, let's say:





1. B


2. A


3. C
Reply:1. C, but I don't care.


2. B, but I don't care.





3. A. Wicca


I think it's funny how everyone picked C for the last choice, except for one person who picked B.


I would pick the Wiccan so he/she can show how the religion is not evil, and disprove all myths about it.


I would also pick him/her because a few ideas they hold dear include "An it HARM NONE, do as ye will" and the three-fold law of karma. They are more accepting and peaceful than many people. (ooh peaceful! how many of you are against the war under the bush administration?)
Reply:I would vote for people based on the issues.





Voting for people based on thier religion is even stupider than voting for someone based on thier political party.





voting based on religion makes you an idiot no better than a sheep.





Voting based on a candidate's party makes you a sheep.





One needs to look at the issues themselves and make an intelligent decision not based on the rhetoric put out by a giant douche or a turd sandwich.
Reply:1) C
