Using the god card affords them some ease of conscience when they give the orders that result in death and destruction on a massive scale.

Deus Vult! Latin God wills it. The rallying cry of the first crusade. To say that God is a bad influence implies that God in some bad way influenced them and that isn't true. If you had said King David was a bad influence because he once went to war without God having instructed to him to do so - that would have been accurate. David was punished for that by God and so God was not influential to Bush or Blair.

Daystar, try telling Bush and Blair.
Great point. Daystar can't possibly know "God" anymore than Bush or Blair. It wouldn't matter how inspired or intelligent you are. Its impossible. Because there's nothing to know. You cannot understand who's sitting in a seat when the seats empty. When no one's sittings there. Neither physically or spiritually sitting there. How could Daystar possibly know anymore about "God" than Bush or Blair? Bush and/or Blair's opinion of what God is, is just as valid Daystar's. Because God is unknowable. That's the whole point. Its just pointless speculation. God is unknowable.
Why is unknowable? Because its impossible to know about something that there is no evidence of.
And will always be that way since he doesn't exist. No evidence of, extremely complex, extremely improbable, had to be more fine-tuned than the universe itself. He just can't exist. Almost certainly. As certain as you can be about anything. Without being dogmatic, without having 100% certainty.
