    Given that any real evidence of Chimpy McPresident's faith, beyond the usual muttering of platitudes and being filmed exiting a church, is completely lacking, I don't see any "attack" on our fearless leader's religious beliefs as being an "attack" on Christianity. He is no more Christian than I am a Zoroastrian.

    But don't let liitle facts like that disturb you. To you, it's all a ZOG plot.

    Speaking of religion Bully, how do you feel about all of the pandering being done by the Democrat candidates in churches? I thought political speeches in church was a no-no. How about the hero of all dems, Billy Bob Clinton and his Presidential nap during another boring bullshit speech about the over hyped greatness of MLK? Seems with the nap, the first black President is even admitting what a joke it all is.

    The father of our country doesn't have a day but this clown does, give me a break.
    No matter where I've traveled or how great the trip was, it's always wonderful to return to my country, The United States of America......... me

    When Democrats talk about religion, they're boldly expressing their faith.

    When Republicans talk about religion, they're being narrow-minded and divisive.

    The Democratic and Republican parties are both just chock full o' Christians. It's the Republican leadership which gives the Christians in their own party a black-eye by pandering to extremists. In that respect, they are narrow minded and divisive. Any Democrat who does the same is JUST as guilty.

    Religion and politics are always a volatile combination, especially when used as a stepping stone to power. It shouldn't be done, by anyone.

    One's faith will inevitably shape the way one views and responds to the world, but any attempt to give one's religious doctrine the full weight and authority of law will, just as inevitably, marginalize those holding different beliefs

    Because you don't have a fucking clue as to what Bush does inside the church or outside for that matter between him and his God. If he told everyone about every second of his worship and devotion time you'd accuse the man of being a Jesus freak and proselytizing, in short you are or would be a hypocrite, there is nothing that Bush could do religiously that would satisfy your hate for him.

    OCA's response to you just above is spot on, so I'll just direct you there for the "how so".

    I weigh a person's religious conviction by their actions, not their words. His actions fail to comport with the teachings of his favorite "political philosopher or thinker", Christ.

    I don't accuse Bush of being a "Jesus freak", just a shallow...petty...venal...hypocrite.

    As for hatred, he's really not worthy of the emotion. It requires more energy and effort than I'm willing to devote to such a fruitless enterprise.

    So what actions are these that fail to comport with the teachings of Christ? And being a Buddhist do you think you are qualified to sit in judgement of those actions or inactions? I mean I don't know shit about Sikhs so I don't think I would be qualified to comment on their religion or any follower of their religion.

    Yes, I do think you are qualified to speak on the man's hypocricies....being a hypocrite yourself.

    Sure, that is why you take every opportunity to bash him on every subject imagineable. I'm not saying that he doesn't deserve some bashing on some things but you are obsessed, admit it.
