For those buy-bull bangers who insist that god orders all things that happen, I want you to think about something. President Bush claimed that God told him to invade Iraq. (He'll probably say the same thing about Iran.) You all followed right along, cheering, screaming with joy at each fallen Iraqi body shown on the nightly news. Well, where was your God then? Seen any hurricanes strike Iraq? Or Iran? No? Or floods, like those hitting the US Northeast right now? Seen any equivalent disasters hitting Iran or Iraq?

Or tornadoes. The US has been hit with record-level tornadoes this season. See any tornadoes over Iraq? Over Iran? No?

How about wildfires! As I type these words, Southern California is burning from Los Angeles to San Diego.

Ever see wildfires like that in the nations Bush tells you God wants destroyed? No?

Hmmmmm.

Better think this one through. Bush coveted the oil wealth of Iraq. In order to get that wealth Bush bore false witness to We The People, the Congress, and the world. Bush then stole that wealth, and killed a lot of people in the process. And by claiming that God told him to do all that Bush took the Lord's name in vain, I think. So, he's batting 500 in terms of breaking the Ten Commandments, ... and all who support him are accessories to the crime.

And what is the result? Did your God deliver a swift and easy victory to George Bush by flinging natural disasters onto the infidel?

No, the natural disasters are hitting the nation that invaded Iraq based on that false witness thing I mentioned before. Hurricane Katrina wrecked our largest seaport, through which America's war machine exports much of its cargoes of death around the globe. Katrina also savaged the oil infrastructure, and oil is the lifeblood of conventional warfare.

Bush's defenders desperately tried to explain away Katrina as God's punishment against the gays or the blacks, but as Rita bore down on those Texas refineries, the message, if there really is one, is clear. The hurricanes are not pointed at gays. The storms are aimed at the United States' capacity to fuel its war machine.

Then you have the tornadoes and the California wildfires brining the devastation all across the nation.

Now for myself, I'm a non-believer, so I see Katrina and Rita and the storms creating the northeastern flooding and the tornadoes and the wildfires as the result of natural events meeting inadequate preparations. What should have been manageable disasters were turned into catastrophes because money, and materials needed to prevent flood damage, control dead brush that feeds wildfires, and purchase needed equipment for disaster relief was diverted to Bush's wars. And the National Guard, who are supposed to be standing by in the states to deal with natural disasters are off in the Middle East fighting Bush's wars as well.

But for those of you who buy into the God gambit, those of you who believe that God ordaineth every bird that flies and every leaf that falls, your own beliefs have to be telling you that Bush lied when he said God was directing his actions, and those costumed child molesters holding those collection plates who cheered Bush along, well, they were lying too. They have broken 5 of the 10 commandments. And they have tricked you into breaking them as well. Because you can no longer pretend you don't know something is very wrong, and you can no longer pretend you don't know that Iraq (and soon to be Iran) is an unholy war.

So, you are all damned. Damned, damned, damned! Damned to hell. And there can be no redemption while Bush and his war-mongering Neocons are still in office. There is no absolution if you know a war of conquest against an innocent people is going on and you do nothing at all to stop it. The priests cannot forgive your sins if they share those sins. Having worked so hard to trick you into sin, would they really be eager to get you out?

You're looking at the choice between regular and extra-crispy for all eternity so long as Bush and the Neocons, and indeed everyone who lied to start the war in Iraq remain in power.

Take a look at the flames devouring California. That's where Bush's wars are leading your soul.

Yessirree, regular, or extra-crispy! Kinda sucks, doesn't it?
