Bush will surely start pushing religion hard and heavy soon.

He's getting beat on everything else including the war and "Protecting Amurica from the turrest", I think he will really start hawking it up to get the religious right fired up for the Fuhrer.

1. He'll probably start talking in tongues during the next
debate - fall on the floor on his knees.

2. Agreed!
He'll start pandering to them in full force this next debate I'm certain. Especially after he used the moses line in the last debate and the religious right picked it up and ran with it.

As I see it though. He already has this vote in the bag. He could be actively selling the country state by state to the Saudi's and these people would be voting for him anyway. I say, let him have these crackpots. Personally I would have to question my own sanity if I voted the same way they did.

3. Who would Desmond Tutu vote for??
Since we can't get an answer from Jesus we should ask the man that is as close to God as anyone else I know on this planet.

5. Exactly what my wife and I
tell my ultra religous inlaws.

In one breath you'll hear them comment how we should just nuke the middle east and start fresh.. Next breath they'll say how wonderful it is that Bush will stop abortions and save all these "children".

6. Problem is, saying that may not be Christian itself
For a lot of people here, that does not apply, and it depends on your interpretation. It seems to me though, that that sort of attack would fall under the whole "judge not lest ye be judged" idea. It makes me very uncomfortable to start judging other people's morality, because that opens my own morality to judgment, and I am far from perfect. Does hurling accusations of immorality actually solve anything, or does it just drag everyone down into the mud?

7. The old "you can't see what's in their hearts" fallacy, huh?
Blowing up Iraqis who have done nothing to anyone is not Christ-like behavior and if you can't see that then you are simply being willfully blind. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Dubya's fruits are lies death and destruction for his own personal gain. Ya think Jesus would approve?

8. No, it's a matter of not judging lest you be judged, and loving
your brothers in Christ. For one Christian to tell another the Bush is not a Christian can be seen in a very dim light. Odds are you wouldn't tell him that another person you attend church with isn't Christian, so why blast another fellow Christian so? It would for no lightening with your target audience. Blast his policies as unloving all you want, but calling him a bad Christian or unChristian would be ineffective.
