You know, Ted Cruz and all the other politicians who are using God as a prop for their campaigns would do well to read Judges in the OT sometime.
It seems that the people of Israel got used to having God around to help them out, and eventually instead of worshiping Him as they had done before, they started to treat God as a relic or a tool, to be used only when they decided they needed Him.
What happened? God left the nation of Israel for a while, and they ended up in a serious hurt locker.
God isn't some prop to be brandished to gain votes.
