From Presidents need contact with God, says Bush
President George Bush has placed religion at the centre of American politics by insisting all US presidents needed a relationship with God to do their job.
So Dubya reckons that to be president you need contact with God. This, the latest load of baloney from the resident nutcase.
I suppose this excludes an Atheist or Agnostic from ever becoming president....
As a stupid comment it's right up there with Pappa Bush's "No, I don't know that Atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God."
What have these wankers got against us???
Edited 'cos I hit "post" instead of "preview".

Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.

I don't think its a big deal. Its his personal view.
My view is that a born again fundie or any one that have a personal relationship with God or any other imaginary being is unfit for the job.
Baby-Bush don't have to vote for or endorse atheists and I don't endorse or vote for fundies and other schizophrenic induhviduals.
Papa-Bush statement on the other hand is an insult to all American atheists.... |
