I don't get what being "religious" has to do with supporting George Bush. I really don't. Seriously! ;-) I mean, it's just downright silly to think that the one must naturally follow the other. I know a lot of religious Canadians, and I don't know a single one who thinks very well of George Bush.

But I guess it all depends on your particular variety of religion, right? Aren't the people whom Bush is fighting against in the Middle East mostly pretty religious?

What I'm saying here, folks, is this: to be "liberal" does not mean by definition that you're an atheist. To be "conservative" does not mean by definition that you're a Fundamentalist Christian. And I think it's damn silly to start trying to divide people up in that fashion, standing them on one side or the other of the imaginary line in your own head, and thinking that you are on the righteous side of that line. It's laughable.

I would love to see a very vocal interest group arise called "Atheists for George Bush" and another arise called "Born-Agains Who Hate George Bush and his Godless War". LOL! It would be damn funny, and it might help dissolve some of the dumb stereotypes out there.

Give 'em both equal time on Jerry Springer or some such show, and watch the fur fly...
