Perky Peg raises a question: Is it possible to mention God too much?

Peg tells us her answer: yes, it is possible to mention God too much. We must then pose Perky Peg another question..."how much is too much? in a 15 minute speech is it 10 times, 20 times, 30 times, how many times, Peg?

Or is it not the quantity of times God is mentioned, but rather the quality of His mention? Is it wrong to describe God as the King of the Universe, as Bush did? Is it wrong to give God credit for His eternal goodness, as Bush did? Should we limit the quality of credit we God to a yardstick of what our physical senses can actually measure, and therefore shut up about eternity and universal stuff?

So Peg, is what bothers you the number of times Bush gives God credit, or is what bothers you the degree of which Bush give God credit??

perky Peg needs to explain herself

As to Peg, agreed, a puzzling position indeed.

In answer to the question for many; often enough to be politically expedient, yet not often enough to indicate a true belief and much less so any expectation of action rooted in such belief.
