isn't the separation of church & state part of your basic governmental

Trouble is most Americans, and most Canadians, et al, believe in "GOD".
Even my own kin. Point out that the original creation myth upon which
Genesis is based describes a group called Elohim, of which their god,
YHWH was neither the first nor most powerful even if the myth were true,
and they'll blink and ignore it just like they ignore the rest of
reality. How many Americans, Canadians, or whatever understand that this
"GOD" and Allah are one and the same - the GOD of Abraham? And that his
story arguably describes the best practical joke ever pulled. Go read it
yourself. Run out of UR, Abie marries his sister and gets rich pullung
the old Badger Scam. Then one noonday GOD comes trudging across the
desert on his way to check on rumors and when Abie finds that GOD
intends to smite his slums he does some serious haggling - jews GOD
himself down from 50 to 5 then can't produce! So GOD promises him all
the land between the rivers if (get this) he'll cut off the end of his
dick! And Abie agrees! And that joke is the basis for Judism,
Christianity and Islam! Jeeze, half y'all prolly had *your* dicks cut!
Given that level of simian intellect, is it any wonder we see wild eyed
fanatics everywhere?
