  Plus...

  Plus it's not 'macho' or very iconic 'Texan' to second think your macho posturing and admit that kicking the dog is wrong. It makes you look like a failure and a screaming joke. Although usually following through makes you look like a failure and a screaming joke with the blood on innocent people on your hands...

  I've talked to a few 'religious' people who were (and perhaps maybe still are) pro-war.

  When pointed out that their own bible that they hold to close as the word of 'god' points out that war isn't a good thing and that judgment is 'his', they thought about it and agreed. But I have a catholic friend who said that it is true that 'god' reserves the right to judge people but that happens after the person reaches those 'pearly gates' when it's decided which fork in the road they take. I thought that a very crass and unbelievable statement.

  So 'god' does triage on the dead that these 'religious' psychopaths send to 'heaven'? How ignorant and just totally devoid of any 'religious construct' is a thought and statement like that? I still have a hard time thinking of meeting that person today. Obviously they feel that their vengeance over 9/11/2001 gives then Carte Blanche to wreck havoc across the planet and they feel that 'their god' is on their side. (Especially considering the degree that the loyal Bushies have cloaked the entire government in black over what happened before, during and after 9/11. To defend the party that is covering up their culpability in the largest attack on US soil is interesting to say the least. To think that John McCain has a chance at being the next president is astounding and horrifying)

  How interesting that 'god' is always on the side of those that cause the most death and destruction. Not being here incarnate makes it easy to 'interpret' the will of this mean and vengeful 'god' entity. It kinds blurs the distinction between heaven and hell, doesn't it...

  Who was it that said that 'religion is powerful' and the rich find it 'useful. A very smart man. Very smart man...
