I don't want to start any blasphemous rumors, but I think that God's got a sick sense of humor, and when I die, I expect to find him laughing.

If God is on the side of people who developed and are backing Prop. 8, He can shove it.

Ah....I get it.....internal division.

In the context, I assumed he was talking about us vs them, but your interpretation is poetic. I like it.

Although, he could have basically just generically referred to it as our Civil War, since Gettysburg was no more an example of internal division as any other battle during that war.

Maybe he should have referred to it as our Vietnam War.

Interesting question. I have concluded that omniscience would preclude humor.

It's not the Union army or the Confederacy, it's this:
