Thanks Cheri. She was an amazing person. The prayer was beautiful. I particularly liked the last two lines.

I have nothing against the Christian or Muslim faith, with the exception of all the atrocities committed in the name of God. The atrocities had nothing to do with God. It's strictly for political power and wealth, and a way to control the masses.

Seemed a little ironic that Hussein would be hung hours after the anniversary of Wounded Knee, where 300+ "heathen" women and children were gunned down and thrown in a mass grave some 100 years ago. They were murdered because we thought they were worshipping evil spirits. Turned out they were just people, and they were praying to God. We attacked them because we wanted their gold and land - had nothing to do with God or Jesus.

Helping others in need is a good thing - truly honors God. However, attempting to convert them is selfish - only honors ourselves, and it leads us to commit horrible atrocities.

As Mother Teresa said "You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God............
It was never between you and them anyway. "
