I'd like to see Jerry Seinfeld be elected God.

Sorry, Mike, but I can't go with Fuzzy. I think my dog Sam has all the noble, gentle attitude with a powerful, graceful classical body. He'd be the perfect divine canine. THought your photo of Fuzzy presents a compelling case. What about a pantheon?

(Here is Sam, looking very handsome. He's clearly the right dog for the job)

I am already a god.
In my talons, I shape clay, crafting life forms as I please. If I wish, I can smash it all. Around me is a burgeoning empire of steel. From my throne room, lines of power careen into the skies of Earth. My whims will become lightning bolts that raze the mounds of humanity. Out of chaos, they will run and whimper, praying for me to end their tedious anarchy. I am drunk with this vision. God: the title suits me well.

Also, it is pertinent to point out that, somewhere in the infinite multiverse, there is bound to be some uber-godlike being telecasting a live, loud and extravagant "Vote For Me" musical number, accompanied by 10,000 bug-eyed muppets on crack, a tapdancing cow wearing a towering fruit hat, and a million floating condom balloons in a multitude of colours.

Put simply: the god wannabe that puts on the best election campaign wins.

While it is amusing to choose a dog as a god ("god" is "dog" spelled backwards, get it?), I'd prefer a chimp as a god.

HAIL TO THE CHIMP!

Nah. Chimpanzees are real assholes, in all seriousness. I wouldn't want to deal with a chimp as god.

Hmm, I'm tempted to vote for Fuzzy since he's really a cute little doggy, however I don't want to piss off my own dog.

Are we forgetting my cat?
I wish to retract my vote for Seinfeld and elect my cat Saffy. Pic soon.

My dog could eat Fuzzy. I vote for the elimination of the position, as it has been shown to be unnecessary.

I vote for Iain M. Banks. That way, we could all have as much sex and drugs as we wanted, we'd never have to work, and we'd have access to interstellar travel (cause he'd probably bring the Culture into being).

If you want great sex, vote Banks!

Unless he gives me command of the Excession when he becomes god, my vote still goes to Fuzzy.

What if we voted an Idol of a God to be God? Since it's just a piece of rock wouldn't that not materially change anything in the universe, but we might get a cool religious cult out of it?

But it would result in some very entertaining religious texts.

BTW, what would it be like if Howard Stern was elected God??

::Puts on his Fuzzy's Campaign Manager hat::

Who would you want as your God? A cat who would use his powers just like the one we have now? Or a dog, who has had the intelligence of Lord Wong rub off on him, a dog who looks so cute and cuddly, and a dog that likes kids, instead of killing them.

VOTE FUZZY!!!
