Could that be because Americans do not like their "dear" president to be critisized by non-Americans, although they know he is obviously a very bad guy ?

My question was this:
Do you think I should start praying for God?
It is f*cking hot here (in Istanbul). I just had some cold watermelon along with some white cheese in bread- and I loved it !
I felt like thanking to someone for making them available. Then, suddenly it occurred to me; could that be God ?
Do you think I should forgive God for creating Bush, Bin Laden and the like and start praying for him ? If yes, should I pray for the Muslim God or the Christian God? Which of them do you think made the watermelon ?

There is only one God, who sent both Jesus and Muhammed as prophets, and He created every thing and every creature, He created Good and Evil,, Good people will -God Willing- rewarded and others will be -God Willing- punished,, Evil was made to make us feel what is Good and to follow what we select, some select Good and others select Evil and God will judge that, any way,, to pray to God, While another guy is calling God names,, that doesnt mean that you wont be rewarded !!
you are only judged by your deeds
and so will Bush ;)
God made these nice watermelons,, Dont you feel you should thank?
God made Bush,, Dont you think he can destroy him?
Why dont you pray for him to do? ;)
Think again!!
We could do that!!

You want an answer, forget about god this world is screwed enough without braining in a player who isn't going to show up for the play. Thank the person who gave you the watermelon or his supplier, or the person who grew it, or the sun for feeding it. You could sit down pray but wouldn't it feel better to do something about what you don't like instead of praying for someone or something to come along and do it. Before you blame read the
history of the world for the last 500 years and you will find out how helpful God has been.

Well "Moosty" - you are generalizing when you say "they know he is obviously a very bad guy". I know no such thing. Our country was brutally attacked by the people we are now fighting our wars against. I believe our president acted in the best interest of our country and I believe he's a great guy and a great leader. And George W. Bush is a Christian supported by many Christians in our own country. He doesn't need the prayers of someone who obviously can't take a stand on what God he believes in. Why are you asking other people who to pray to? You don't "forgive" God either - He forgives us for our sins. If you want to pray, pray for all the leaders of the world (in cities and nations). Leaders are appointed to their work by God (the Bible states this over and over). Pray that they lead by the will of God. Pray for yourself. Ask forgiveness for being so judgemental of others.

Moosty,
The Bible says God made the watermelon. It doesn't actually say watermelon, but if the writer of Isaiah had a watermelon when he was starving with that widow when there was no rain, I bet he would have said something really good about it! Especially if it was one of those good sweet ones! Yum!

The white cheese:
I think that if Bree and Goats Cheese is considered white, I would skip that part. I've had them both, you know. I guess I can be thankful that I didn't have them both at the same time, YUK!

Oh Moosty, I am glad for the food you have, but sorry that you are in Istanbul with the fighting so close. I don't think that "God" or whatever creative force you think of has anything to do with the war or with providing you the food. Although I guess you could say that we humans are God's "hands and feet on earth." ( for good or bad) Whatever force we came out of is the SAME for all of us, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, atheist, agnostic ( like me), Sikh, whatever. I hope and "pray" ( ha ha) that all the wars the world over will end. It breaks my heart that our President Bush does not seem to care who is killed; he just goes merrily on his way, like Nero fiddling while Rome is burning. I don't know that "forgiving" is the point, Moosty, but it is much better than hating and causing more death. Just do the best you can, my dear, with where you are and the circumstances you are in. Try to help others as you have been helped. As one human to another, I send you all very best wishes for peace and food and shelter. I wish the same for all of you in the middle east; we are all brothers and sisters.

There is only one God, the creator of all things, and God does things for us all the time, its when we realize it that we understand. This world is the system of satan, by allowing sin into our everyday lives, but we can ask forgiveness for that sin and have repentance when we ask, and forgive others, when we have a quarrel or problem with someone, we should forgive as Jesus does us, Those that walk with the Lord experiences the blessings The Lord gives, when you help others and share what your gift, God blesses you, so when you get angry at some of the Leaders, Pray for them to turn to God and start doing what is morally right, and thank the Lord for your nourishment, because The Lord blesses us with food and drink, through the kindness of other people.

There is no Christian God or Muslim God.....There's just God.He revealed himself thru the scriptures(the Old and New Testaments)and you can accept it or reject it.It's not important about Bush or Ben Laden,ther's going to be good rulers and bad rulers throught out time.What matters is you.Are you going to accept the revelation of God given over a 2500 yr.period that never contradicts itself or are you going to believe a religion that was started in 600 A.D. by a "prophet" who couldn't write.and converts by the sword? Enjoy that watermelon my friend,it's hot in Nevada too.Just remember ...Eternity is a long long time if you make the wrong choice. God is everyones God ,you just have to know it in your heart.

Be f*cking thankful to the farmer who trusted the weather that yielded the rain in season which watered the ground that the watermelon seed needed to germinate and produce the God given watermelon you have just enjoyed.
Why does everyone need to make things either about politics or religion.
Sheez.

criticize Bush all ya want

I'm an American and I see him doing the work for the devil everyday. He is a bad man.

But God is letting him do this, as this is the way the world is supposed to end.

So I don't think God needs you to pray for him in this matter, he knows we are all suffering.

And I think the Christian God made the watermelon...

My friend, I m next to you (Athens), also very hot and also enjoying watermelon with white cheese (no bread though). I dont believe in god so choose whatever you like on this.
I dont agree that Americans dont like critisism, I ve seen many opemminded people from the US. What worries me is that they are not well informed (onesided) and I feel they dont care enough to do something about their foreign policy.
