Bush, the leader of a diabolical cult?
A lunatic Christian cult has the run of the White House and the ear of the president. What do they want? The end of the world. Be afraid.

Every truly religious person can tell the story of his or her moment of conversion. Mine came when I heard that the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq would now be called Camp Redemption. I can think of 100 more appropriate names, including the International House of Torture, Leashland, or Symbolic Pile of Rubble. But no, Camp Redemption it will be. I didn't see God, exactly, upon learning of the holy camp. It's more like I saw our president's God clearly, for the first time. Yea, I did shiver at the sight of his flaming sword!

1. getting plum creepy. Wasn't there a couple of moves lately by

the gov't to permit churches to engage in political activity? Not to mention the whole faith-based initiative crap. I'm starting to think I'm living in this movie http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0102757/ and it's probably not going to have a happy ending this time, either.

5. excellent article
Thanks for posting this......good prayer at the end of the article.

"Dear , give us the will to restore religion in this country, as our Founding Fathers intended, to an abstract guiding principle, not the theologically unsound justification for a twisted foreign policy. Let us fight our enemies with peace and wisdom, not anger and indiscriminate force. Allow our country to serve as a symbol of what's good in humankind, not what's corrupt. Most of all, grant us the strength and wisdom to remove President George W. Bush from office. In your name, we say: Amen."
