God asked to intervene in Vanilla-ISIS standoff

Vanilla-ISIS. Y'all Qaeda. Hezbubbah. Yokel Haram. The Ranch Davidians. The Bundy Welfare Queen Brigade. Meal Team Six.

Whatever you call them - you know, those idiots who seized a bird sanctuary in Oregon, and are currently being mocked all over social media by sane Americans of every political persuasion.

Well, we can all relax. While most of the 1,237 GOP presidential candidates have wisely stayed out of this goat-rope, Ted Cruz and Chris Christie have appealed to a Higher Authority:

Cruz offered prayers for law enforcement officers confronting the group and criticized the group for threatening an armed resistance...

(Christie) said he's prayed for the law enforcement officers and government officials involved in attempting to end the standoff.

This worries me because of the Xian God's well-known track record of "moving in mysterious ways." Now that he's been invoked, it won't surprise me if this minor stand-off lasts for years, costs thousands of lives, and ends in a nuclear explosion.
