"I don't see how you can be President without a relationship with the Lord

[Bluebear]

Scott O'Grady, from Dallas, Texas, is silhouetted against a quote by President George W. Bush projected on a screen at the Christian Inaugural Eve Gala sponsored by the Traditional Values Coalition at the Ritz Carlton in Washington, D.C., on January 19, 2005.

Them Christian traditionalists are sure rich! The Ritz Carlton, no less! I wonder how many meals that could have bought for tsunami victims.

2. Bush has no relationship with the Lord

He voided Christ's Golden Rule when he launched a pre-emptive strike against a harmless third world country.

10. Nowhere does it say he has a *good* relationship with the "Lord"

I can just see Jesus scribbling in a pocket notebook and muttering "That sorry no-good Me damned Bush...."

3. Wait till the 20/20 hindsight kicks in. n/t

[MLE]

5. yeah right

he's about as Christian as this board is conservative.
Either he just doesn't get the idea of Christianity or it's just for show. Neither would surprise me.

7. that's one bizarre photograph

a cowboy's shadow over those words, what imagery.

8. I'd like to ask Junior

how the Lord feels about him spending forty million bucks on this grotestque, narcissistic, overdone event when there are lives being lost due to his illegal, pre-emptive war right this minute. When millions of people in Southeast Asia don't have the safe water and medications they need.

I'd like to ask Junior how the Lord feels about these costly, showy, selfish, self-serving displays.

9. i'd rather have basic morality than have relationships with the Lord

[Stirk]

11. I have a "relationship" with the local Skinheads.

I hate them and they hate me. The reationship is one based on mutual disgust, but it's a relationship nonetheless.

I assume the whole "relationship with the Lord" thing works the same way.

12. true; can't be prez without support from the religious base.

the fanatical religious base that makes up some 40% of the population, that is.

[tanyev]

13. I don't see how you can be President

without a capacity for higher level thinking. Hmph.
