the grace of god---christian hell---iraq

i am a person who readily admits his belief in God. Maybe not the shrewd olg man with a green visor that some preach. I believe in a God who is so all inclusive that humans and those who try to anthro God are a pity. I believe God is God and he can see the grooves dug into your heart by hate and anger whether you were born here and have white skin or are an island dweller who just heard of the Holy Bible. there is very little to seperate the "believer" and the sinner. If you state positively you believe it is enough in many denominations of the faith of Christ. I believe that my Grandmother; Ella Mae Woods Coleman was an exceptional and very holy person. I remember her well but I was a young person when she passed. I was about ten or eleven. I visited her in the Lawrence County Hospital, as she lay dying of matastisized cancer; I fed her crushed ice, which soothed her because the cancer had caused awful ulcers in her mouth and throat. Even then, she greeted me warmly and it is a display of human fortitude and stoicism that I shall never forget. The Christ of God, that is, the author of this world-wide religion, is Jesus Christ as we know him; and as we teach our little children the song "Jesus Loves Me". Our religion does not exclude but invites all people to partake of our Lord, in common with us, everywhere and at any time. This makes us differant from the people of Islam, who require a ritual to invoke the salvation, deliverance and hope of God. i am not anti-Muslim; I believe they worship the same God; it is the monotheism of the middle east. Now God has been cognized as a sigular entity by members of all races; as much as the bible is a special revalation of God; I do not believe white northwestern european stock have any better birthright to a God who compares himself through his transmitted word-He is a gentle Shepherd (see Psalm 23); it is the racial and will-like nature of the bible; like our Declaration of Independence and Constitution; that avoids a world-wide embrace of humanity; a use of funds to gather justice together and the total flowering of our

consciousness on this planet which is one among many and conscious life may be on more than this.

God Bless Our Troops

I hate the people who try to equate our Iraq under Bush II to WWII.

We were fighting a nationalist enemy then who understood the nature of European War and recognized defeat and the idea that the middle eastern "terrorist" is equivalent to the disciplined western military troop is absurd. The use of terror weapons is the mode of the impotent; collectively, as rage is the method of the impotent individually.
