Bush is brought on stage at an assembly so attendees can pray that he make America "one nation under God." Which brings me to: Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor any manner of likeness, of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; thou shalt not bow down unto them, nor serve them; for I the L-RD thy G-d am a jealous G-d, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me; and showing mercy unto the thousandth generation of them that love Me and keep My commandments. (Ex. 20:3-5, JPS translation) So, which of those campers will be the first to burn or, if you like, the last to be eaten by Cthulhu?
May 4, 200620 yr Well, they're not praying in the sense that Dubya is God. They're praying in front of the image of Dubya so that God may grant him the strength, knowledge and what have you to make this country be run "under God." It's weird, but it's no different than worshipping any other idol.
