Bush's Religion

[Pawn Power]

Bush the religious moderate?

The outgoing US president tells an interviewer his faith is not incompatible with evolution, he is not a Biblical literalist and God did not tell him to invade Iraq

God did not tell him to invade Iraq

So he can finally accept the blame now?


God: BuuuuUUUuuush!
Bush: AAAh!
God: Bush, its me, God
Bush: Oh hey God
God: Bush, you gotta invade iraq, Bush
Bush: uuh...ok God...anything else I should do, God?
God: Yeeees, fuck up the economy, too

I feel kinda sorry for the Bush. his presidency has been a complete failure and no one likes him. I read somewhere that hes started drinking heavily again too.

And yeah, I think he was always a moderate, he just misleads people to get the evangelical vote.
:(

Let's remember that this man's policies killed hundreds of thousands of people.

Also, I don't think his presidency was a complete failure... for people of his ilk. Of course his presidency was a "failure" to vertically everyone else. But for those few who earned millions of the wars, who pushed through favorable legislation, and profited in other ways his presidency was a enormous success. In general, he was a success in terms of upholding State power. He had an outstandingly low approval rating and international support and was able to not only remain in office but enact key legislation (NCLB, Patriot Act, ect.) while waging multiple unpopular wars without major domestic opposition, besides opinion polls. He proved that "democracy" is alive an well in the good ol' US of A.

I feel kinda sorry for Bush, as I can't help but feel he has been used as a puppet to appeal to the sections of the US public most brainwashed to act against their own interests.

No, god clearly didn't tell him to invade Iraq because god doesn't exist, Karl Rove told him too. That's how he gets out of taking the blame. In all seriousness, however, Bush isn't as theological as people believe, he usually overemphasizes his religious convictions to appeal to the evangelicals in the bible belt, as Scarletghoul suggests. I don't feel sorry for him though- I'm disgusted. He kills near 2 million people in Iraq and Afghanistan and all he develops in a drinking problem? Fucker.

Well that is probably true, but the real question was if Bush actually thought God told him things.

The scary thing is that, religiously, Bush is more moderate then a large section of the US population. :ohmy:
