text: Dear God, why is it that wherever there is war, each side says they talk to you and receive your guidance?  Why in the middle east, the cradle of your very existance and emergence, is it the most volatile real estate on earth.  Would you please come and restore peace, in your name, and for the benefit of the world that looks to you for faith and guidance.\n\nI'm a secular being, but that's what I'd ask if I had a chance to ask.
