Dear God,

As you probably know, our great country, America, is in a real mess and a lot of people are blaming some of it on You.  These people are stirring up hatred against Your homosexual children and claiming You're the one who wants them to do that.  They carry signs saying "God hates fags" and even some of our most powerful people in political office don't want to allow people who love each other to marry if they are the same sex.  That denies them the rights other Americans have but they say You're the one who wants it that way.  They also say You really, really hate abortion which You never said anything about as far as I know.  They've decided they know when life begins although I thought that was Your prerogative. And if a woman gets pregnant by rape or incest, they just figure it is her tough luck.  These people hate contraception too, which I find a little strange because contraception would probably stop some of those hateful abortions.  They believe they have a right to tell women what to do with their own bodies and health and claim You give them that authority.  God, I wish these people would keep You out of it and just admit they are responsible for their own hatred and bigotry.  Didn't Jesus, who these people claim to follow, give a commandment to "love one another"?  They must have missed that.  Anyway, God, I'm sorry to take up so much of Your time but I thought You should know what a bad rap some people are putting on You.  I don't believe You have anything to do with these things because You're a lot better than that.

Your friend,

Bill
