    One world

    Interesting piece this morning in the NY Times on God as every good President's prime war ally. It concludes with a section from Mark Twain's War Prayer: O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with pale forms of their patriot dead ... help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; ... help us to turn them out roofless with their little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolate land ... We ask it in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love. If we're inclined to work/hope for any grace, perhaps it is for a global transcendence of the religion of dualism inspiring a world divided by violent divinities.
