Yeah, LH, I hear that. Dylan's "With God on Our Side" sure nails it. But on occasion, it almost seems as if God intervened. I'm thinking of the 1947-8 war in the middle east when Israel was being 'established'.

Neither did Nathan Bedford Forrest ever lose a battle, and he is credited with saying, "Get there first with the most men." Too bad he became a KKK leader.

I have always wondered about the need of many people facing death to find God. There ain't too many athiests in foxholes. Oh, there's some real tough guys and gals who don't need anyone, but I don't think I'm one of those. Anyway, "Keep up the skeer."
