my moms was making obama calls to new hampshire the other night, and she talked to a couple who told her that they aren't registered and never vote because they trust god to take care of it.

I can't think of any civil way to respond to that that wouldn't sound like talking to a confused child.

"Who do you think sent Obama?"

I'm reminded of the joke, to which the punchline is:
"I already sent a car, a boat, and a helicopter. What more did you want?"

Although, looking at it from another angle, is it a proxy for something else? Feeling powerless about elections in general?

Now the most correct response seems to be relaying that joke, prefacing it with "Let me tell you a parable..."

That's a good one. The more jokey and less parable one I also like is the minister praying to god to win the lottery so he can make needed repairs to the church and after 3 weeks of praying and not winning, he prays again and the heavens open up and light shines down as he hears a booming voice say...

"Meet me halfway - buy a TICKET!!!"

I know a guy who's retirement plan is to find a winning lottery ticket. He argues that the odds of winning are almost equally close to zero whether or not he buys a ticket.
