Hell no. Have you read the old testament? Do you really want armies coming to rip the children from women's wombs as punishment for disobedience? Do you really want gay folk stoned to death? Do you really want unruly teenagers stoned to death? Do you really want sea-food eaters to be stoned to death?
Head to the new testament. Do you really want people zapped to death for lying about how much money they dropped in the collection plate...? Men to be prohibited from growing their hair long if they choose? Women prohibited from cutting their hair short if they choose? Women banned from speaking in church....?

by Mandy the Pirate Comedian on May 6th, 2008

Only if God himself was the boss. No delagating, he'd be a visable force in a perfect world.
by DiSTurBiA on May 15th, 2008
no, I'd rather live in a peaceful kingdom, where I can love who I wish,eat what I wish,etc etc, without some egotistical maniac having a issue with it. Also to live my life the way I see it needs to be lived, not following some book.

The difficulty is whose God we're talking about
by meowry on May 16th, 2008
No. We have enough prejudice and conformity in this world. And people would use that power to their selfish advantage. And people like me who are disabled would still get no sympathy, unless we totally devoted our less-than-capable lives to their case. Christians generally aren't as nice as they claim to be. And they're only selectively nice. When it comes to anyone who acts different, they're right and we're wrong (and this doesn't go only for disabled people btw).
by Slothy on May 7th, 2008
That would be amazing. Even if the people didn't choose believe in God, I see no reason why a world where everyone follows the ten commandments and morals set in the bible would be bad.
by autumn leaves on May 21st, 2008
whether i vote for this kingdom or not is of no consequence. this kingdom is coming to earth in the very near future like it or not. in the beginning of mankind, man chose to become independent of God's direction. this is why now we have so many problems. man has come to the conclusion that earth really does need a one worldwide government. man has failed miserably in managing its affairs. this is why the prophet jeremiah said that man is not capable of ruling himself. bible prophecy points to the time that God's kingdom will wipe out all opposing governments and establish itself here permanently. (daniel 2:44) the warning is being sounded out now to change or we cannot expect to survive the coming destruction. the survivors of the end of this system of things will have complied with the requirements found in the bible. this is the kingdom that doc 2000 is writing about, and the timetable that shows that Jehovah God has been very much aware of earthly developments throughout the ages.

I would want to see His Name on the Ballot. God is not his name.
by AnaRoM on May 5th, 2008
Well, God's Kingdom is not of this earth. So, that would be rather inconsistent. Second, I'm not sure it wouldn't contradict people's free will ( I'm not sure because I feel your question is a bit confusing. Sorry).
by MrJosh on October 16th, 2008
Which god and what does this kingdom look like?
by Stormtex767 on July 27th, 2008
Yes: If you relate to the new order of The wisdom of The King of Kings in the New Testament. All The King desire is for all of us on this planet to do right by our neighbor, and the homeless and the poor. That is not too much to ask of us as his children, and to live by the Big 10! I belive if the commandments of the Word of The King was trully appllied to all of our lives without any room to breathe life would be much better.Take 1Cor:13 Plus The King will rule and cannot be stopped. One day wickedness will not exist on this planet.

by Lakely on May 16th, 2008
Those who love the darkness and want to keep things hidden will not want the light to come. Those who are tired of this world and its shortcomings will welcome the change. It all depends on what side you find yourself on.
And thanks so much for speaking in terms of the "Kingdom," since it is so rare that people remember the Original Kingdom Gospel that Jesus was actually preaching. (Since many have been diverted on to the Pauline Gospel)
This resource explains the difference between those two and expands on your original question... http://gospelenigma.com

by Sweet Baby Jane on May 5th, 2008
As a follower of Christ, YES!!! Yes, I would! :)
It would be Heaven on earth!
And according to the scriptures, in Heaven there will be no sadness, no pain, only joy. Who wouldn't want that??
by Newtommac on January 8th, 2009
If you really believe in God why would you ask such a question? Can you imagine how huge the universe is and what a small ...infinetly small thing the earth is..
Wow and you want to have a vote about what God's position is in the world....WOW
by DiSTurBiA on October 16th, 2008
nadda chance. Too hateful for my taste.
by Mr. Meaulnes on July 27th, 2008
No, because such a vote should never occur.
In fact, I'd say that such a vote would go against one of the most essential rights bestowed upon mankind by "God's Kingdom": Free Will.
If a ruler with absolute power can be elected based on a majority vote, then the minority no longer has the free will to choose "God" for themselves, which goes against one of the most basic rules under which "God" is said to operate.
And even if it weren't illogical, it would still be unwise.
People vote for presidents and governments because those institutions are in place to protect their freedoms, not rule over them.
When you elect a mortal leader, that leader can be questioned, and if need be, overthrown, a God, almost by definition, cannot be.
Would you really consider it wise to elect any person or entity to have absolute, unquestionable power over all mankind?
by Dmitri on July 27th, 2008
That vote will be taken 7 years after things get really bad anyway. Fittingly, they are not for it either, for it is prophesy to reject His 2nd advent.
by Caffenated llama of flourescent doom on July 27th, 2008
Hell no.
by Anonymous on July 27th, 2008
Absolutely not! Mostly because there's no empirical evidence that such a thing exists or ever could.
by Sheriff Raff -Answerhag on May 21st, 2008
I have cast my vote for Jesus.
by Americas mind on May 21st, 2008
Yes, because God is the supreme being, perfect abobeall things. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Light.God is always just and fair. He loves everyone just the same. If God ruled the world, it would be a billion times better than what it is today. If anyone wants to disagree with me, than go ahead. But this in not just my opinion, it is the only real truth anymore.
by Oor Galooly - on May 21st, 2008
Unfortunately we don`t have much say in the issue. God`s Kingdom does rule over all mankind, regardless of what we "vote", or wish.
by Roselynn...unregistered text offender... on May 21st, 2008
Yes I would.
by neveroddoreven on May 18th, 2008
No, because I don't trust in that kingdom, there are a lots of messed up thing done in the name of God and he seems to bare a wee bit of a grudge to me...

No, because religion is the true root of all evil.

by joebud on May 17th, 2008
No Way. Religious extremism is the most dangerous thing on the planet. It creates artificial differences between people and is responsible for more death than any other disease.
by ethicalbro on May 7th, 2008
unfortunately, I don't have the words to express my desire for that event to take place. Make no mistake I'm not talking about the rapture, Hagee's self exaltation, or the general beliefs about the Kingdom. I'm talking about the Kingdom where human beings are changed into Children of God. My understanding says, the individual cannot rule himself, nor can mankind. We are by nature self-destructive and we are going to get to the point where if God doesn't intervene it will be as if humans never existed.

hell no i would not w would all die by the end id rather mankind do the ruling i can say it would be heaps better!
in the end the only thing would be death no children no life do one thing and ya get killed
NO WAY WOULD I VOTE FOR THE GODS TO RULE OVER MANKIND
but then if we think about it gods are just myths ={}
by Mr.Bean Mime on July 10th, 2011
No. I think we have the intellect to distinguish a perfect world and how to attain it from a Rapture gone wrong (God's kingdom with his crazy commands and his huge ego). I believe in the achievement of the potential of the human Spirit
by Chigg on October 16th, 2008
Yes.
But I wonder how MUCH I and others would be disappointed, because I bet we all have some, um, learning to do.
by stardust on October 16th, 2008
I'm not so sure I would want it that way. I think I would rather he/they just observe as they do and advise us/guide us in the ways they already may. I feel as if they ruled over all mankind it could create a stir-maybe even HumanRace vs. God's Kingdom...interesting concept for a videogame-or not. haha.
by thatsJustme on January 9th, 2009
absolutely...and it will some day ....but it will be by the willingness of mankind....those who love and obey...mind there might not be many...only 8 survived the Flood....

by Rufus_T_Firefly on October 26th, 2009
My vote would be 'NO'. I'd be afraid that such an obvious dictatorship would simply go to whichever god had the largest and most lethal army. Exactly which god was it that you had in mind?
by Parepidemos on October 26th, 2009
It will eventually. To answer your question, yes I would vote for it.
by Go know thyself is THE RED QUEEN on October 16th, 2008
I might, yes... But I would certainly have to put a clause in there that stated how I wanted NOTHING to do with most of the rest of the religious in the group.

Good answer and no DR its a frigging miracle.

by koldkanuck on May 8th, 2008
Interesting to see how a couple a guys who nothing about God give all the Bible answers.
by Doc2000 on May 12th, 2008
KK.. thanks for the dr :)
by Doc2000 on May 12th, 2008
Yeah, it's fun ain't it? For the record, I was a christian some 20 years - preacher for at least 5. Learning my way out of that was a long and painful process. Also - I deliberately pick out these little snippets of the bible because so many other folk ignore 'em and try to imply the Lovey bits are all there is...
by Friartuck on May 12th, 2008
You say "preacher for 5", what kind of preacher were you, as a matter of interest.
by Doc2000 on May 15th, 2008
Mainly Anglican - but spoke at quite a few pentecostal events and churches as well...
by Friartuck on May 15th, 2008
well said. lol I think you might've stolen my answer.:)

by Doc2000 on May 17th, 2008
well I occasionally speak to my computer at times, esp when it messes up, but I seem to get the same response as if I were speaking to god.......hmmm nothing.
by DiSTurBiA on May 17th, 2008
Hi Doc, no I don't. I don't believe he exists - or any of 'em (gods, that is) - so there's no point (to me, anyway).
by Friartuck on May 20th, 2008
Friartuck: You are correct, the bible does not only contain "lovey bits" as you put it. This is because it contains true, factual history. It is not a fairy tail. The bible even contains words the devil himself spoke, but this does not mean it approves of those terrible things.
It is true God has some rules, but the results of not following his rules are those terrible things told of in the bible.
The existence of God, and the fact that his kingdom will come luckily does not depend on people believing that it will. This is not intended to be a threat and doom and gloom, but a message of hope and simply what the bible states and I believe it!
by Guinesss on November 27th, 2008
Well, believe away, but I don't and wouldn't want it anyway...
by Friartuck on November 27th, 2008
Rules is rules but he holds a grudge for eternity and preaches for us to forgive.
by koldkanuck on November 27th, 2008
When he died for our sins, in order to be able to forgive us, I think he earned the right to ask us to forgive each other.
God said before any sin that the wages of sin is death. If he ignored that, that would make him a liar. He is not a liar, He is perfect in all ways. He paid the price of death himself so that we don't have to.
by Guinesss on November 27th, 2008
Uhuh - logically though it still doesn't follow. God kills himself to appease himself because we broke rules he made up himself after he created us such that we would be unable to avoid breaking those rules he made up himself.
Anyway, so far you've spoken about the JudeoChristian god like he really is the only one. Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Shintoists, Taoists, Zoroastrians, Pagans, Wiccans, Animists and Shamans would probably disagree and point to inner-convictions and holy scriptures as back-up for their belief. So who's scripture is holier than who's...?
