- I won't repeat the original post here- suffice to say the poster stated that
- his god was necessary to save the United States from its path to destruction.
- And that basically this god supported the US in the past when it was more
- religious. Basically drivel...
-
- Lets see. The United States and God. Did your god support slavery and then
- change his mind ( and very slowly, from the Civil War up to Martin Luther King
- and Malcom X, over almost 100 years! )?
-
- Does your god support Vietnam, Cambodia, El Salvador?
- Does your god support 6% of the world population using 30%+ of the resources,
- basically destroying the planet he supposedly created and gave them?
-
- And how is it that you know the solution to all our problems with no facts, no
- reasoning, and no evidence? Sounds like dementia to me. Dementia with severe
- arrogance in your own psychic powers to divine the universe, when so many
- have completely different 'psychic' understandings than you ( ie. other
- religions ).
