God Is Not On Their Side

In Christianist pop-theology, there is not one God, but multiple gods.
There is a God of Christians, a God of Jews, and most threateningly a God of Muslims.
We saw something similar after 9/11 when people like Lt. Col. William Boykin said that he knew his God was bigger than the God of Muslims.
As was pointed out at that time by multiple religious thinkers, by arguing that there were at least two Gods, Christian and Muslim, Christianists were following a belief system that was not monotheistic and was not in accord with the Gospels.Now the chairman of the Tea Party Express, Mark Williams, seems to have forgotten this basic point, writing that the Muslim God is a “monkey-god” and that Muslims are “animals of allah,” reports Zachary Roth at TPMMuckraker.
It’s an interesting point. The “Christianists” are atavistic in a big way, with a capital “A”. The My-God-is-bigger-than-your-God thinking goes all the way back to the bronze age.
