Where to begin.
Jim, I don't think Gel is talking about the God of all Americans, just the
one of George Bush and his henchmen. I leave it to someone else to work out
whether he is being overly harsh; I am not very fond of big-daddy jingoistic
gods either, as I am sure you have all gathered.
No, I'm sure he wasn't. still, the message ground like a stone.
For somebody who spends as much time as 'Gel does with such a diverse group
of Americans as this it was like a slap in the face to read such a blatantly
myopic view of us (or is that "U.S.")
I don't like aspects of my country or its current leadership, but those
aspects are not the sum total of my country nor representative of all its
people as 'Gel intimated in that message. It wasn't the attack on religion
or public policy, it was the ubiquity of the statement from somebody that
should damn well know better.
