I like comic books and super heroes. I get a kick out of watching Heroes every week. I've re-watched much of Buffy and Angel. I went to see Iron Man the day it came out, I think.
I own a copy of "The Amazing Spider-Man: Revelations", written by J. Michael Straczynski, where Spider-Man, while assisting at Ground Zero, has to answer to New Yorkers who ask him why he (and other superheroes) didn't prevent 9/11.
Now, I know Spider-Man is imaginary. I don't demand you believe in him.
I believe God is imaginary, too. A lot of folks don't believe God is imaginary. Fine. But don't demand that I believe in him.
And, just as I don't demand that everyone appeal to Buffy to keep us safe from vampires, I ask that you don't demand that I ask God to keep me safe from terrorists.
Apparently, the government of Kentucky thinks otherwise.
If I were a resident of that great commonwealth, I'd ask those running its government to please keep their imaginary super-friends to themselves.
