I believe cheap luxury goods to be a gift from #God, even when limbs are mangled in the process. I believe that my McDonald’s is sanctioned by God, though I am sorry for the clipped chicken beaks. And I believe God intended America to be great, though he played no part in the slavery, the banditry, the pogroms — the long rape — in which it was conceived.

God is where the opportunistic believer wants him to be.
