I don't want my elected officials trying to claim some kind of insight into the mind of God, or of some kind of divinity of a fucking politician.
If I believed in God, I'd be pretty annoyed at how small and petty people make him out to be, caring about who wins a football game or where your pee-pee goes. Or getting involved in US electoral politics.

And it's especially galling to hear it from a Democrat. I usually vote against anyone who does the God-talk during an election.
