[ WP ] The position of `` God '' is actually an elected office wherein the Angels vote and decide who should lead them for the next seven years . Somehow your name gets mixed into the ballot and , by some strange happenstance , you win the election .

The process was quite simple really. All the angels across the world gathered together in one place ( usually a pub ) to vote on who next would be God amongst the mortals of earth. Only a simple majority was needed. 
 
 To kick the election off every angel casted a blind vote. They picked any human on earth in an effort to try and work out who the early favourite were amongst their colleagues. 
 
 So tactical angels casted their vote for the most incompetent, laziest, ugliest, most pitiful human they could think of who no one else would ever vote for. 
 
 Funnily enough, they were all thinking of the same person. 
 
 Me.
