When did God get such a bad rap?

It should first be noted that I do not believe in God. I do not pray, and I do not go to church. That being said, this article is total bullshit, and not just for the lame comparisons he makes between Bush and Hitler.
"Bush also always wears a prominently-placed American flag pin on his lapel, just in case you forget where he's from. I can never help thinking of the image of Hitler wearing his quiet Iron Cross on an otherwise plain, neatly-tailored uniform. Neatness and patriotism for the cameras instead of troops sloshing through human blood."
He's bitching because Stephen Harper, leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, has been ending his speeches with God Bless Canada recently. In the article he says:
"Even among today's Christians, God does not have the same meaning to everyone. To a Pat Robertson, God is someone who destroys communities with hurricanes when they fail to recognize the truth of Pat's preaching. Pat's God is also someone who sanctions the assassination of democratically-elected leaders who happen to oppose American policies."
So, because one asshat makes some outrageous comments, no one else can discuss God? We're not allowed to even mention His name except in the privacy of our own home? :shock: Give me a fucking break.
The rest of the article the guy spends bitching about the States. Big surprise. It seems to be a favourite pastime for Liberals over here.
GOD BLESS CANADA!
