OK Civics Class the Electoral College unit is complete; up next ...

We all studied how the heck the Electoral College could turn a 2.8 million vote majority into a loss. Very good, you learned a lot about the history, the clashes, and the compromises that formed this part of the Constitution.

The next unit will be on Impeachment and removal of the President. Study the Constitution: Article Two, Section Four. Quiz on Friday.

A crazy religious idea

Islam, Judiasm, and Christianity all have the same God. They all have Abraham as their founding father. Jesus is Jewish, Christians believe he is the Son of God, Muslims believe he is a great Prophet. We all share important aspects of our common religion.

Our God has many names, Jehovah, YHWH (Yah-whey), God, Allah.

Let's call God by one, universal name. But which one?

Allah. I'm a Christian and think of God but why not use God's newest name?  Jews and Christians will have some reluctance and some learning to do. Me too! That learning about our Islamic kin is a good thing. Let us use our commonality to unite us rather than divide us. It is another way to start important conversations.

I also think a common name for our God, Allah, will make hating others tougher.

What do you think? Dig deep into your prejudices and I will dig into mine too.
