<<>Which in turn has caused God to turn His back on us and lifted His protection, thus allowing things like September 11 to happen. ;-) >> Whose God(dess) are we talking about here anyway?>> I think you missed the point of my joke. After September 11th, an American TV evangelist named Jerry Falwell blamed the attacks on homosexuals and feminists. He later claimed that he didn't mean to say that the hijackers were gay or feminists, but rather that because of people such as homosexuals, feminists, and the ACLU, God lifted his protection of America, and thusly, the Sept 11 happened. My point was that I happen to feel that while it may be possible that God was giving some kind preferential treatment to the US over any other nation in the world, I don't think he would have "turned our backs on us" because the US is starting to evolve beyond being a racist, homophobic and sexist society (I didn't say we're there yet, I'm just saying we're working towards it). It's because we've allowed idiots like Falwell and Pat Robertson to get on television regularly and completely besmirch the good name of Christianity in particular, and religion in general. I repeat: my comment was a joke (which I think at least one person caught)!!!! It wasn't meant as a true statement about my spiritual beliefs! ===== May you never thirst!
