"Deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..."?

That, for those who don't recognise it, is taken from a certain eighteenth century American document.

Actually, I have much sympathy to the sentiment expressed - and believe it should apply to god as well, if (and I do mean IF - I am not convinced on the subject) god does indeed exist and has just power over us, should he not equally have to apply for our consent?

I would like to hear his application before I cast my vote.

    Does it say "consent of the governed..." or "consent of the governed who happen to have on them a valid current photo ID?"

    It's not God that victimizes people but human beings. God is the one who saves those that have been victimized.
