My friend, the people representing this belief happen to be God haters, by any name. They have no use for Him, a la Michael Moore (Leninist/Marxist that he is), Bill Mahr, and rest of them. They don't mind going along with a nameless, faceless, generic, feel-good, Easter-time Christmas-time (nee Saturnalia) type god, but they will NEVER accept a personal God. Doesn't fit in with who they are. By the way, did we ever find out what Kerry's many "plans" were?
sKerry: "But I had a PLAN. Y'see, there was this PLAN...."
Terry: "Not NOW John!"
