Now that many have seen my angry outburst for the day on an unrelated
topic ;  ), I feel I might be able to help put this in perspective.

First off, I'd be inclined to call the reference, at best, monotheistic.
What is irrelevant in this case is the fact that the observation by St.
Matthew was made by a Christian. It is quite applicable to any of
several religous belief systems, and I'd be had put to find a religion
that _doesn't_ speak of their interpreted deity(s) (if any) as more or
less all-powerful. That's why they're deities (if any).

Secondly, whether or not you agree with the statement, the fact remains
that the belief was widely held in 1950's Middle America. As my Mom used
to say, and still does, consider the source.

Ah, the path to political correctness is narrow and thorny... .
