"Whether intended of not, God is clearly back in his old public, but non-religious, role, as a political sidekick, ready to justify whatever is required.
His fading participation - bored perhaps - in wars that drag on, sich as in Northern Ireland, has been succeeded by star appearance in massacres all over Africa. He has been wandering the Afghan mountains with Taliban and Al Qaeda guerillas. He has broken down temples and let riots in India. He has supported anti-immigrant campaigns in Europe. In his spare time, he inspires the rhetoric of those who want more of the death penalty, and more virgin prides, more flags of specific colors flown. He accompanies American presidents, and for that matter most American elected officials, on all public appearances. In the 2003 State of the Union speech, there were twenty-two religious references."
