More and more I see that this ties into everything we see around us--we have made the State our god. We look to the state as we would to God--to cure, to make us happy, to give us food, tell us what to eat, how to think, solve all our moral and social problems, etc. It is all powerful, all knowing, all caring, can do no wrong, can never be questioned or defied.

Then the State allows gaps--huge gaps--in things that it should rightfully be taking care of. And what is our response? Further bowing before the false god, pleading for it to save us. This disaster has further enslaved the American people to this false god. Look--the people won't even return to their own homes until their god tells them it's OK!

And Bush is the High Priest of this new god. He intervenes for us poor peons at the high altar of the god of the State. Bush calls on churchs because he is the High Priest and all these churchs happily bow to this god.

Israel was enslaved because of their idolatry. How much longer before we too are enslaved?
