The police and the firemen are praying

The first order was to convince us that the Afghanis caused the Twin Towers to topple. Fill them full of fear that more attacks are inevitable then convince them that God sanctions revenge. In the absence of evidence the American people needed a religious boost to ensure their cooperation in the coming global conflict.
So God has suddenly showed up in Washington, D.C. Our president is praying. The people are praying. We are all praying now. Congress has even proposed a bill that will allow school children who have not been able to pray in school since the 60s to pray for the nation as it battles the dark forces of terrorism.
Government has effectively programmed the American job function email list people to believe that it will prevail in its mission to avenge the deaths of our countrymen with the aid of divine intervention. Pre-Sept. 11 Americans people can now justify avenging the deaths of our countrymen by killing persons that look like terrorists and the women and children near them because they believe that such revenge has God's blessing.
One has little choice but to view the federal government's theological flip-flop as a matter of political convenience. Prior to September 11, 2001, the federal government had criminalized public displays of Christianity in government buildings and public places. It would be a little silly for the federal government to really believe that God will intervene in its behalf after deliberately removing God from its day-to-day operations over the last three decades.
