I didn't mean YOUR god or MY god. I meant, Bin Laden's god, or Bush's god? I agree with your view of god and that it is an individual's sense of spirituality. Actually, I was quite agreeing with an earlier post of yours having to do with a similar subject.
I disagree with your opinion about Bin Laden, however. He has been a shit-stirrer and religious fanatic for many years. His main goal in life is to kill every single American on the planet. What did I do to him? I was born here... so that makes me evil?
Bin Laden is wealthy. He was born to privilege and has used his wealth to fund his wars. His violence is motivated by greed as well, calling for the demise of the U.S., Israel and Saudi Arabia, in order for Islam to be liberated. It is a religious greed, but greed nonetheless, with no thought to the lives he destroys to reach his goal.
I am not defending Bush. I never would. I despise him and his government, and the way he mistreats people in his country and around the world. I hate the way our country is so brainwashed. He, too, hides behind a religion to accomplish his personal goals. I do not hate him so blindly, though, that I see another man who is just as bad through rose-colored glasses.
