Here's an even more radical thought.   What if "my" God, and the "god 
of the terrorists, and radical fundamentalist muslems", are actually 
one and the same?   What if what is happening is all part of the 
"Plan", and has been foretold.   What if all this is necessary?   What 
if the entire reason OUR God put us here is to experience suffering and 
misery, so that we would "understand" it in our future eternal 
existance.

Yeah, I know.  Kind of similar to some buddhist thought, isn't it.

Of course, one would have to believe in an eternal existance of some 
kind... which would include both a pre-mortal and post-mortal 
existance.   If you do, then our little moment here becomes 
insignificant, when compared to the power of the Force...

Oops, sorry.  I mixed mythologies, there.   ;-)

O.K., here's my thinking on this.  I can believe, against all evidence 
to
the contrary (worked at a rehab center and saw a whole bunch of dry
alcholics and can recognize one about a mile away, so had no problem
recognizing the one in the White House) that maybe some people *think* 
they
"hear" god talking to them.

Now, let's follow my line of thinking.  IF your god is the god that 
people
claim he is, and IF he is soooooo far removed from the god of the 
terrorists
and radical fundamentalists Muslims, then WHY would he be talking to 
Bush
and telling him to start a war and KILL 100s of thousands of women, 
children
and the elderly?

And please don't tell me it's about choice.  If this was another one of
those tests where he tells the guy to kill his son to prove his love, 
then,
theoretically speaking, and following the usual steps that were taken 
in a
certain book, he'd have stopped him just in the nick of time.
