Imagine a very severe terror attack in the next days - for example: islamists kill dozens of kids in a Kindergarten, how would such an incident influence the polls?

None. The election has its own inertia and momentum at this point.

With the turnout high to vote early it now seems across the country. Those votes are in and can't be changed. Most voters know who they are going to vote for now.

"God" my ass. It's all about MONEY. There are tons of people in this country who pretend to be "Christians" because they think the reward for calling themselves that comes in the form of financial "blessings". (See; "Prosperity Gospel".) So many that don't even know what Conservatism is, but support it because they think there might be tax cuts in it for them. Otherwise, they behave like heathens when no one is looking.

Do you remember when the t.v. preachers started preaching that "God wants you to be rich!"? It was a marketing ploy to attract more collection plate filling members.

You're only a good Christian-American if you shut up and do as the boss says, work hard for cheap, fill up the collection plate every Sunday and blindly support whatever wars the powers that be get us into...............

Gee, I wonder who could be behind that?

It's not God, I can tell you that much.

Religion has always been a marketing ploy.

There is a passage in the Bible that says something like for every dollar you give the church you will be paid tenfold.
Yeah right...

From Wiki:

The full quote from Karl Marx translates as: "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people".
Opiates are very addictive and so is religion.
Overheard Trump this morning on TV saying that he loved Hindus which could get him in trouble with the Christians.

Religions corrupt the concept of God, a supreme power.
