I prayed during rocket attacks in Baghdad. That wrong of me?
ReplyDeleteI will let Peripatos answer that question Bill, but I think that you are comparing apples to oranges by asking it. Clearly there is a difference between the U.S. military liberally sprinkling Biblical quotes throughout top secret memos regarding the war on Iraq and a private individual praying (presumably silently) during a rocket attack.
ReplyDeleteFor the record I "went" to see the "slide show" and found many of the Biblical quotes used to be remarkably ironic in light of what actually went down in Iraq. . .
