Indian leader tells interviewer God ‘just keeps making me do things’ but that he ‘cannot dial him directly’

Indian prime minister Narendra Modi has said he believes he has been chosen by God, as the multi-stage Indian electionnears its completion.

“I am convinced that ‘*Parmatma’ *(God) sent me for a purpose. Once the purpose is achieved, my work will be one done. This is why I have completely dedicated myself to God,” he told NDTV news channel on Sunday.

Modi, who is hoping to win a third term when the results of the general election are announced on 4 June, said that while God guided him to do a lot of his work, he did so without revealing a larger scheme.

    Funny how people who think they’re chosen by God so often believe God wants them to kill the people who are inconvenient to them. Funny how God always strongly resembles the believer and shares their views and prejudices.

      God is a maniac and he wants you to kill all infidels, it’s in the Bible.
      In what part of the Bible have you ever seen god commanding his followers to help another tribe that believes another god?
      Also bring me their foreskin, because reasons.

        Hey, that last one is perfectly rational… you know how you’re not supposed to wear a hat in someone’s house? Neither is your penis - it’s disrespectful! /s
