Is God dead?

[Immortal Goat]

I never thought myself to be a very Godfearing man. I don't follow any real religion to speak of, just my own morals and some hope in an afterlife, but this election has made me see the true ugliness that the American People as a whole posess.

This war was won through bigotry, and nothing else. Religious zealots who believe that war is ok so long as gay people cannot marry. People who say that abortion is wrong, but killing innocent children in Iraq is ok, because they are Heathens. Bigots who believe that marriage needs protected from "godless sinful deviants" while that very institution is being corroded from the inside by people like Britney Spears, J-Lo, and every station that has aired a "Bachelor" style show.

The thing that gets me is that all this hatred and violence is being done by people who believe they are doing God's work. Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Jesus tell you guys to "Love one another", and "Let he who is among you who is without sin cast the first stone"? I guess stones are different than bombs, huh?

Yes, I know that this is not the first time in history when bigotry has caused massive global problems, but I would have thought that in 2004, we could all get over our differences and work together. Call me crazy, but I really don't think that it is a bad idea to have blacks, whites, straights, gays, and any other minority working together. That is the only way we will ever achieve our goals.

God may not be dead, but it IS in a coma. Wake up god, if you are there, we need you now more than ever. So much is at stake.
