Feeble Answers for Imbeciles Tyrants and Hypocrites
"When I'm concerned about something, I figure out a plan of action and then I give it to God. I just ask to be carried through it. God has never failed me yet. I've been totally unflappable in my faith and believe it is the principle reason for all that I have been able to do...""It's a wonderful White House to be in because there are a lot of people who are of faith, starting with the president, and when you are in a community of the faithful it makes a big difference, not only in how people treat each other, but in how they treat the task in hand. Among American leadership, there are an awful lot of people who travel in faith. It's a remarkable thing and I think it sets us apart from other developed countries."

So now we know whose idea it was for America to bomb Iraq. It was all God's fault. What will God tell them to do next, I wonder? Bomb Korea with "mini" nukes?
See, this is the problem with "people of the faith", God tells them to go ahead and do exactly what it is they want to do. Whenever Moses was in a mood to slaughter a few thousand civilians he always consulted God and on every single occasion God said, "Sure Moses, go right ahead and do it. Spare no one, kill every man, woman, child and baby." And Moses, being a man of the faith, went right ahead and did it. Over and over and over again.
As did, Joshua, Gideon, Saul, David, Solomon and all the other Biblical men of faith. As did President Truman when he dropped atomic bombs on Japan. As did Presidents Johnson and Nixon when they dropped napalm on Vietamese peasants.
Not once, in the entire history of God, has God ever said "no" to anyone who felt like committing an atrocity. He is a very accommodating God.
And it worries the fuck out of me to know that in the current White House "there are an awful lot of people who travel in faith."
If only there were one or two who travelled in conscience.
