Uncle Steve took a scripture passage that brings healing and hope, and turned it around into something mean; inferring that we Americans worship Satan. I have replied to him off-list, and would be happy to forward the same reply to any who would be interested in understanding this better. I believe we Americans (most of us) love and worship the One Eternal God of the bible. The same one who gave us the gift of hot peppers.
