The diety OFBL was crested after the essay below was written. The majority people who read it believe that an Old, Fat, Black Lady ought to rule the universe. If you believe as we do after reading it then join and share you experiences. Here is the essay:

"electing God.

That's right. Make it an elected office. Since the universe seems to go consistently crappy (or at least inconveniently) for long stretches, perhaps we could use an occasional change in the administration. Once a generation, say, we elect a new God and that person gets to be the Supreme Being.

Of course, because Christians grossly outnumber everyone else (except maybe Hindus) today, and since # of followers obviously has nothing to do with validity of a given religion, each faith would receive senators to elect God proportional to the time that faith has been in existence. Hindus might get 70 (for about 70 centuries of existence plus coolness of deities with 3x10^23 arms), Druids 40, Asatruar 30, Buddhists 50 (bonus for having their faith validated by quantum physics), Jews 30, Muslims 15 and Wiccans 0.5. Now since Christians can't agree on what they believe, they only get a total of 17, of which Protestants only get 2 (penalty for inconsistency of theology), Catholics 5, and Episcopalians 10 (bonus for being least offensive). Unless Scientologists are able to produce a spaceship with truly kickass special effects, they get none, just cuz.

After the election, the winning candidate becomes invested with all Knowledge and Power; all glory and honor be unto Him or Her until the next election. Some of my personal favorites are:

Morgan Freeman (he's just so fucking cool... and likes to say fuck a lot)
Benno Furmann (a Supreme Being I can have dirty fantasies about)
Margaret Thatcher (just because she would smite people with her purse)
George Burns (the obvious candidate)
Maya Angelou (need I say more)
Michael Dorn (because the Voice of God should be that of a Klingon)
Any old, really fat black woman named Dorothy, Dorothea, Delores, Pecolia or Eula Mae

All polytheistic deities still worshipped would be in unclassified positions, and therefore retain their stations and powers. The new Supreme Being would be able to appoint His or Her own Mettatron, Herald, Prince of the Heavenly Host, etc., and would be able to appoint His/Her own vicar, revoking Papal infallibility if applicable. The Silly Hat, Watched Pot and Percussive Maintenance Theories universally remain in effect however.

So, who's your vote for the next Supreme Being? :-)"
