“I don’t think God blesses America in some special way. The God I worship is far too big and grand to be limited to fifty states…. We think of ourselves as a chosen people, and unique in God’s eyes, but everyone s unique in God’s eyes…. There’s nothing wrong with feeling good, but love of country is not the same as love of God, and they should not be confused.”
— The Reverend Peter J. Gomes, Minister of the Memorial church and professor at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Quoted in the Boston Globe, September 14, 2003 1 year ago
