Subject: RE: BS: Bush is a religious fanatic
Jack the Sailor,

Bush's confidence is predicated on an unreasonable assumption
that God is telling him what to do. He offers no flexible view of
imperfection which is telling. He makes no mistakes. This in my view can be interpreted as being fanatic. The fact the author didn't use that word doesn't mean that it's not a valid assumption based on the information that Suskind presented.

A true Christian is humble and knows that he is capable of error and
strives to improve. The fact that Bush shows no humility whatever
indicates that he is disturbed and is missing the most important ingredient for a thoughtful compassionate human being, that he
is not God but can make errors. This is irresponsible. The fact that Bush will not allow free speech to take place in his cabinet is also indicative of a form of fanaticism and dictatorship.
