Overuse of ‘God’
Re the overuse of God and Jesus by Joseph Lieberman and George W. Bush (letters, Aug. 31):
The term “god” is inclusive and encompassing. Other religions can refer to their deity by a different name. Bush refers continually to Jesus and had declared a date as Jesus Day in Texas. This violates the doctrine of separation of church and state. Both men refer to either God or Jesus too frequently. They have, by now, convinced us that they are men of faith and we can assume they have the qualities of justice and morality that faith engenders. Thomas Jefferson said it all when he declared that his religion was personal and private.
