Our nation has covertly supported many coups and, in fact, helped the Bath party of Iraq assassinate the former head of Iraq and place Saddam in power. Saddam's first assassination attempt was unsuccessful and ended in the wounding of Saddam himself. They were subsequently successful in a second attempt and Saddam wrestled control in the period following that coup. The GOd you describe in your post is not a God that I would have any interest in worshipping under any circumstances. I would never call any entity "God" that had supported the slaughter of thousands of innocents in many countries around the world. As Americans we overlook the cruelty of many leaders and only choose to "take out" the ones that suit our fancy for selfish reasons..............you claim that is sanctioned by God? Many Christians also believe that monetary riches indicate a blessing from God. DOes that mean that poor people are not blessed and in God's favor? As AMericans, many seem to need to think that GOd is on our side. I ask you, what would Christ say about this imminent invasion that Bush is about to start? I cannot, under any circumstances believe for a NY minute that CHrist would condone this violent action. And, the head of almost every church on this earth agrees with me so I feel quite confident that my thinking is not off center. We tend to think that God answers prayers in battles and allows one side to "win" who is in his favor. If that was true than Bin Ladin must have been in God's favor on 9/11!!!!! God wasn't blessing AMerica on that day was he? There is a verse in Mathew that describes Christ chastising the Apostles for allowing themselves to think of "God" in human terms. Men often describe GOd in the image of themselves....................GOd is not human with all our frail egos, needs and emotions. From a spiritual plane, the massive killing, misery and pain that is about to unleash cannot be from the hands of a loving GOd....................sorry, but it comes from elsewhere. Open your eyes.....put down your box of crayons and start using your brain when dealing with people that appear to be religious. Politicians know that religious people vote so they play that card to get their support. How could anyone kill thousands in the name of God and think it's blessed? I am including George Bush in that category along with Bin Ladin.
