This is a follow-up to Wednesday’s post, pulling in another voice to discuss all this God-channeling in our elections. Cliff Schecter wrote a piece called “For God’s Sake – Stop Talking” which I found re-assuring. Here’s a snippet:

The US takes pride in its separation of church and state, but the current political scene is “strangely” religious.

Lately, there would seem to be a whole lot more people who have a direct channel to the Big Guy Upstairs than one could have humanly thought possible.

It is oft said that “God works in mysterious ways.” But when Michele Bachmann hears voices telling her to run for president, am I the only who thinks the most likely explanation is a batch of bad clams or one too many nights role playing “The Book of Eli” with her equally demented husband Marcus?

Read the whole thing. Patriots fans will enjoy the David Tyree inclusion.
