After watching the first day of the Republican Convention (while trying to work), I was struck by how many times God was mentioned. Today, so far, we've had mostly House, Senate, and Governor candidates, with the House candidates being the most frightening. Luckily, the Colorado representatives there did not do too much to embarrass us.
I can understand a speaker saying, "God bless the United States." We get that a lot. I don't like it's use, but it is pretty standard. Many of the speakers, though, tried to ally their party with God. I have to say I take some offensive to religion finding its way so prominently into politics.
It's only day one; I suppose there's much more of this to come.
