I can forgive you for just about anything, heric, except making unwarranted advances to my chinchilla! :-0 (She's a sensitive creature...)

I fairly much agree that there is nothing to fear but fear itself, and it's my feeling that the present American administration has been engagin in fear-mongering on a tremendous basis...but it all depends on whether you think they're right or not. If you do think they're right, then those of us who see them as dangerous and talk about it in public are engaging in fear-mongering...

All comes down to opinion, doesn't it?

It's my impression that the only 2 populations in the World which enthusiastically supported the attack on Iraq were those of America and Israel (and maybe Kuwait, I suppose). It's a general impression I have, and it's probably pretty accurate.

Like anyone else, I try to sum up what I see as best I can, given available evidence...

Moving on...God protect us from people who think "My God is bigger than his God"!!! Sounds like the old "My dad is tougher than your dad" routine...the infantile tactics of playground bullies. What do you do when a playground bully has nukes and B-52's at his command?

I believe in a God who loves all people, quite regardless of whether they love themselves or each other. Such a God does not help people plan to kill each other, but assists all individuals constantly in ways considerably more straightforward than that...giving them strength, courage, reasoning ability, love, and every other good quality to work with. From there on, it's up to them, because they are also given Free Will and are at total liberty to use it foolishly or wisely.

I am now speaking for God as well as humanity, and that's okay. Anyone else could do that just as well as me, since we are all part of both God and humanity, but what will they say? I wonder? Will they speak for life or for destruction? Will they seek brotherhood or victory?
