Thread Name: BS: Is there a god or not?
Subject: RE: BS: Is there a god or not?
"George Bush's idea of God is as out of whack as Osama Bin Laden's idea of God. That is not a reflection on God in the least. It's a reflection on Bush and Osama."

George Bush's real idea of God is that he's a nice, fanciful idea,
and as such a useful tool to bamboozle a significant portion of the
American voting public into reelecting him. He picked this tool
very carefully. The segment of US Christians he's aiming at are
already half-bamboozled, by the Religious Right, which does their
thinking for them.
The frightening thing about Bush's "cosmology" is that I also think
he sees the book of Revelations as a charming myth, and a useful tool.
Why else pick a fight in the Middle East?
