I am very upset.  I'm sad. 

I am having trouble coming to terms with the obvious--I live in the United States of Fear and Hatred.

Fear and hatred.  Fear of war, famine, death, disease, terrorism, gay people, rabid dogs and independent thought.  Hatred of all that does not fear the preceding as well as questions, audacity, expression and the refusal to accept Jesus as my saviour.

Yeah.  I'm not going to put any more on poor Jesus's shoulders. 

Plus, I'm not a Christian.

Plus, I often doubt there is a God.  This is one of those times.

I would point out to those who seek a faith-full, religious country governed with an eye toward a religious text that such a country already exists.

It's called Iran.
