Agnostics Still Undecided Ahead of 2012 Deity Election

JERUSALEM - With the 2012 Deity Election just four months away, a recent poll by the Celestial Examiner has found that 78% of Agnostics are still undecided as to which divine entity they will vote for.

Candidates from the four major religions will contest November's election, with Christianity's Jehovah just edging in the polls ahead of Allah of the Islamic faith, Vishnu of Hinduism and Buddha.

"I really don't know who to vote for," said lifelong Agnostic, Samantha Jameson. "Part of me has kind of lost interest in religious practices, but another part really likes Jehovah's stance on family-oriented issues such as marriage and parenthood."

"I even like some of Allah's policies too, though I'm not so sure about his stance on women's rights. Perhaps, I'll vote for Buddha. He seems pretty genuine."

Campaigning on behalf of the Christian faith in the Holy Land of Jerusalem Wednesday, campaign manager, Jesus Christ, insisted that the election outcome could be swayed by the voting choices of agnostics, most of whom have yet to decide on a candidate.

"Everyday on the campaign trail, myself, the Heavenly Father and our fellow Christians are reaching out to all Agnostics up and down the planet," said Mr. Christ. "Why should you vote for us? Well, if you believe that women should not be stoned to death for adultery, if you believe that man should be allowed to eat pork as he chooses, then we are the religion for you."

"Plus, we've got a talking snake."

Meanwhile, this year's election is widely expected to see its lowest voter turn-out for more than a thousand years, after a record number of Atheists declared their intention to not vote.
