Backup of God "Unlikely" To Be On Either SideOn Monday, March 31, 2003, Marlene Whittaker, CSUDH, wrote:Hi Jeanne, in knowing how much you appreciate art, I thought you would thoroughly enjoy this! How true is it? Yeah---Let us mortals take a stance of Humbleness, and give thanks. Wouldn't it be nice, if we could all just enjoy the beauty that was given us, and with an "illocutionary" way of life, how we could enrich, what was given us, instead of, wiping it out in a discourse, and conviction of what we think is soooo right. Love and Peace, Marlene---Enjoy!!!God "Unlikely" To Be On Either Side
ROME (AheadOfNews.com) - Despite fervent claims from both George W. Bush and Saddam Hussein, God appears unlikely to have taken sides in the current war.
Cardinal Clancy Tomarkis says "Throughout history, political leaders have assured their troops that God is on their side, yet we have no evidence of any direct involvement, at any time in history. This time, however, might be a different story."
"So far in the Iraq conflict, we've had fierce sandstorms, strange and previously unheard-of desert thunderstorms, high winds, whole convoys of trucks that won't start, and even a rain of frogs (although the stories about that have strangely vanished). The thing is," Tomarkis continued, "both sides have been prevented from fighting."
"Why do we frail humans think that we can spray cats with the hose when we want to break up a fight, but the Allmighty can't spray us with sand, water, and frogs?
Unlike many Christians, including the Pope, who believe that God grants man free will, and leaves it up to us to make our own decisions, George Bush and Saddam Hussein both insist they are taking direct orders from God.
Dr. Ernie Flost, a psychologist and author of Hearing Voices - A Guide To Getting Help says that typically, society is best served by institutionalizing "people who think that God wants them to kill other people", adding that "schizophrenia is only dangerous if left untreated".
