Thoughts while reading the news...

Surfing Google's News today, this article caught my eye. That picture is becoming an all-too-familiar sight in today's world, and my next thought had to do with what we really and truly believe in - God or guns?

Another search on the web found an article in which it says a Gallup poll recently found that 41% of Americans say they regularly attend religious services. You have to wonder how those folks define a religious service, when another website claims to have checked those figures and found that only about 21% of Americans and 10% of Canadians actually go to church one or more times a week, while many say they have when they have not. This leaves me with the definite impression that about half of those claiming to be religious are in fact merely lying about it because they'd rather not have others know the truth.

And I'm still wondering: what do Americans really place their faith in - their God, or their guns? Based on the observable evidence, it would seem that they pay lip service to their God, but put their money on their guns.
