The DC ADIZ is there because some people took their version of "In God
we trust" just a little bit further - that's the point. Ok, they took it
a whole lot further, but I'm sure you understand my point.

If they trusted in God, they wouldn't have taken matters into their
own hands, IMO.

That's what always got me about the terrorists. If they really believed in
allah, and we were really that bad, wouldn't some allah induced terror
befall us?

I guess, in a way, they're saying they're not satisfied with allah's job
performance.

Isn't there something in the Christian faith to the extent of "the Lord helps
those as helps themselves"?

My uncle tried that line out on officer O'Reilly the night he got his
hand stuck in the Poor Box.

"Uncle Eight Fingers,"* we called him.

Trust in Allah, but tether the camels.

Solo in '67 at 17 years old; I trust in me.
The universe I live in is13.7 billion years old, or thereabouts.
I have no idea why the universe exists, but I have a very clear picture how
it works.
There are countries and histories older than all religions.
Public education has failed miserably.
But tether the camels anyway.

and we don't even have any idea why there needs to be a reason it
exists.

I suppose our version would be:

Trust in the FAA, but preflight anyway.

Or...maybe not grin.

Yes, but it's there to prevent people from becoming lazy mystics, not
to justify brutish behavior.

Mike,

That argument is old hat even in Christian circles, where a supposedly
benevolent God couldn't possibly allow wars, famine et cetera. The easy
answer: This is God's/Allah's/The Great Pumpkin's way to test us and our
faith.
