    Back to the original thread...
    Reasons to Still support President Bush...
    21. You believe that banning steroids in baseball and gay marriages are the most effective means to win the global 'War On Terror'.

    Which is why Jesus is Jesus, son of God, and President Bush is human. I venture to guess that no other politician, regardless of party affiliation, would be the same. ;)

    #22 Believe that death in an unjust war is okay.....but it's not okay to abort a baby that was conceived by rape.

    Oh yes!!! hes only HUMAN . This means he can get away with anything.
    The stresses of leadership :rolleyes:.

    Not like those other silly followers, who actually TRY to follow Christ. They dont need the faith-label to excuse their actions or lack-of.....Leaders ofcourse are immune to any wrong-doing- or sorry, the "questioning" of it. Because, "Hey! its a TOUGH-ASS Job." Bless them for that very fact.....their "position."


    And again, Jesus """DIED""" for everyone. ;)
    Already "happened" no?

  • Not all that suprising, he is a Christian. Most of us do believe in revelations.

    Good for you. that's your right last time I checked. It's even your right to express it publicly (however annoying it may be to listen to).

    Bush should be a President to all. not just Christians.

    Why does he seem to wish to reverse the separation of church and state that the founding fathers (most of them extremely religious men) struggled and sacrificed to install?

    I Believe to be a true Christian you actually have to practice the wisdom and benevolence of Jesus as opposed to paying it lip service.

    Did they really try?

    The dollar bill says "In God We Trust"
    One of our national songs is "God Bless America"
    The Pledge of Allegence says "One nation, under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all."

    ......and now we've seen the reason why Sadaam HAD to be a brutal dictator. It's the only way to unify a country that has 3 disticntly different religious groups who all want to be in power. Democracy will never work there.

    We don't see that at all.. What we see are people just like you and me.. who are poor and unable to take control of their own country - first because of an oppressive dictator, and now because of an oppressive conqueror.

    there is no justification for Saddam - any more than there is for the United States...

    These people have had a tough time for a long time - too bad the United States is not sincere in its claim to want to help them... especially after so brutally executing them in large numbers because of their ignorant aspiring dictator...

    Uhm, ok. I just pointed out the differentiation not to make excuses for President Bush, but to point out the fallacy behind the comparision. Would you compare a Beemer to a Saturn?

    Got it... 13November1861, because of religious sentiment during the Civil War.
    (ref. http://www.treas.gov/education/fact-sheets/currency/in-god-we-trust.html )

    The National Anthem is 'The Star-Spangled Banner'... don't you ever got to a ball game?
    And the 'Under God' was added to the Pledge of Allegience in the 1950s, at the urging of the Knghts of Columbus to combat the Communist take-over.

    First of all, this wall of separation? Not a Constitutional provision.

    Secondly, what laws or bills has he introduced that lead you to think in this direction (the President's inability under the Constitution to make laws notwithstanding)?

    I'd like to see how you dispute that.

    He said "song," not "anthem." And last time I went to an MLB game, they were STILL singing "God Bless America," too.

    ...
    "God Bless America" at the 7th Inning Stretch... post September 11, 2001... right? God gets second billing to 'Peanuts and Cracker Jacks'... there's a religious sentiment for you.
    Also.. the original National anthem was 'Columbia, Gem Of The Ocean', prior to 1930something.
    ...
    And check the U.S. Treasury yourself:
    http://www.treas.gov/education/fact-sheets/currency/in-god-we-trust.html
    The Motto did not appear on paper currency until 1957.

    Didn't you guys have to take a history class in high school? I remember this shit from Mrs. Larkins' 11th Grade Government class. And that was 34 year ago.

    Not really. I just think that some Christian's interpretation of 'Turn the other cheek' is 'Mount up the armoured calvary and let's go kill someone'. Everyone interprets Jesus differently.
