Who Needs God?

We seem to be pushing Him right out of the 21st Century. The most recent proverbial "boot" kicking Him out the door? The OK from the FDA to sell cloned meat.

We took God out of school, public areas, and now we've taken Him out of our meal times as well.
How can we say grace before a meal?! "God bless this cloned meat which we created in attempts to BE You. Please forgive us our sin of self righteousness as we no longer give You the honor for the miracle of life, for we no longer need you to provide for us. Amen."

What the hell is that?! Is there some massive shortage of meat? Is livestock on the brink of extinction? I could maybe understand, but then again, I think not. One thing I can say about the 21st Century, it is definately helping me to find just how strong my beliefs are, those beliefs I have worked so hard to keep hidden away because they've only appeared to make me emotionally vulnerable. (shush, it made sense in my head at the time I decided to do it)

We are not God. We can make no claim to be.
