With some fundamentalist Jews believing that God promised his chosen people the land of Canaan; with some fundamentalist Christians believing that Jesus will return to earth when this promise has been fulfilled; with some fundamentalist Moslems believing that the hopes of Jews and Christians must be resisted by violence; with the U.S., Israel, and Pakistan in the possession of nuclear armaments; with three Republican presidential candidates announcing at a recent debate that they do not believe in evolution; with President Bush calling himself a reborn Christian and saying Jesus is his favorite philosopher, I am just slightly concerned about what God might say to our president in silent prayer if, feeling increasingly cornered and isolated, Mr. Bush believes he has no one else on whom to rely except his Lord and Savior. Form and substance are like the dew on the grass, the fortunes of life like a dart of lightning—emptied in an instant, vanished in a flash.
