Peter Hitchens: "If you do not worship God, you end up worshipping power, whether it is Kim Jong Il, Leon Trotsky or the military might of George W. Bush. In which case, God help you."
...uh, Petey, (may I call you Petey?) this is what we call a false choice.
Plenty of people worship neither God nor power. Anyway, the real worry are people who worship both God AND power. People like George W. himself (not to mention crusaders, papists, and Jihadists.) Where power and religious fanaticism coincide the result is always ugly.
