"Our monotheism has become too blatently allied with destruction. The God of America against the God of communism: these gods war in the swamps of Vietnam, amid indescribable cruelty to children, mangled bodies of adolescent soldiers, and the destruction of a million civilians. Our failure in Vietnam is the ultimate symbol of the "bombs-for-Allah" kind of faith. The day of the invocation of 'Our God' against 'Their God' is past - I hope forever." (From 'Paulus: Reminiscences of a Friendship', by Rollo May, a biography of Paul Tillich, 1974, p. 93).
If only.
Night night.
