Rosie, it appears that once again, you've gone off the deep end.
1. "Do you tell him to bug off?" How do we know that god is male, or even in human form? In egalitarian conservative Judaism, we only refer to Adonai (Hebrew for god), god, and the Lord. We never use him, father, or any other gender-specific term. I highly recommend this practice.
2. How do we know that god endorses any specific candidate? How do you know that god wouldn't say the same thing about supporting Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, George HW Bush, George W Bush, Richard Nixon, or Ralph Nader for that matter?
3. Why do Christians (please correct me if I'm incorrect in assuming that you are one) always make hokey references like this to heaven, hell, the afterlife, etc? What's wrong with the assumption that this life is all there is and nothing happens after death?
4. This reminds me of the old story about the Catholic high school football players who ask the priest if praying will help them win that day's game, and the priest replies that it may if they block and tackle their opponents. It also brings to mind the saying that god and paying the fare will get you on the bus or subway.
