Presidential Interview: Religious issues








MSM:  You have been on the record as saying that you were told by God to run for President?

F. Calypso:  Well, yes, that is so. I was told by a god to run for President wherein it was prophesized that I would lose, acquiring zero votes.

MSM:  God told you to run for President wherein you would receive no votes?

F. Calypso:  Yes, amazing, isn't it?

MSM:  Um.

F. Calypso:  Do you think I will get any votes?

MSM:  That's really not the subject of this...

F. Calypso:  It's a simple question. Will I get any votes for President?

MSM:  Okay. No. I don't think you'll get any votes.

F. Calypso:  So you agree that this god has prophesized the future! That's a god worth listening to.

MSM:  If I predicted it would be sunny today, and it turns out it's sunny, that doesn't make me a prophet.

F. Calypso:  Did you, in fact, yesterday predict it would be sunny today?

MSM:  As a curious matter of fact, yes, yesterday I did say that I understood it was supposed to be sunny today.

F. Calypso:  Wow!

MSM:  No, that's my...

F. Calypso:  I am enmeshed in a thrilling web of prophecies! Tell me what to do next!

MSM:  No! That's not, I'm not God.

F. Calypso:  Well of course not. No one is God. 

MSM:  I'm glad we...

F. Calypso:  You're obviously a god though. What do I do next? Do you have any lotto tips?

MSM:  I'm not a god! Look, what if I voted for you? Wouldn't that make the prophecy false and call your campaign into question?

F. Calypso:  It would have actually had to have happened, which it hasn't, oh god of... something.

MSM:  Fine, I'm voting for you. Just wait and see.

F. Calypso:  Yeah, that's how all these interviews seem to end up.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
