Why George W. Bush is a lousy Christian

Why George W. Bush is a lousy Christian...

SHORT ANSWER:

1. Thou shalt not kill.

2. Thou shalt not steal.

3. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor (even Saddam).

4. Etc., etc., etc., ....

LONG ANSWER:

Like a lot of people who come out of A.A., George Bush has a new self-righteous "born-again" mindset. Now that he is "clean and sober" and, better yet, has a "personal relationship" with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, George thinks that his actions are beyond reproach. No on can question his motives or criticize his ethical lapses. He is now "saved" and wears this label as a badge of honor. No matter how vile and selfish his actions may appear, we should all cut him some slack and take his word that he is a good Christian who would never lie, cheat, steal, etc. Of course, as President he now has plenty of people on his staff who will do these things for him, so he can keep a (somewhat) clear conscience. He has plenty of people at Fox News and MSNBC who praise his name and tell him how wonderful he is.

Bush is the perfect front-man for a corrupt administration. He is too dumb to comprehend the crimes committed in his name, and he is too arrogant to believe that his friends and political allies are simply using him as a stooge. Bush is "saved" and therefore can do no wrong.

By any objective or unobjective measure you want to use, George Bush is a lousy Christain. That people like Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell praise his "faith" and "values" only reflects on their own self-righteous arrogance and pride.

Who are the "Christian Haters"

Recently two staff members on John Edwards' election staff (Edwards is running for President in '08) were forced to resign when it was revealed that they had mocked various religious loonies on their personal blogs. The gang of right-wing jackals quickly smelled blood and began baying at the moon. One of the leading right-wingers, Bill "no-spin zone" O'Reilly began to girate like a whirling dervish and questioned: Why does Edwards employ people who are "Christian-haters"? O'Reillly used his televison show on Fox News as a forum to bash the two bloggers who had dared to mock O'Reilly's loony friends. Using his typical "When did you stop beating your wife?"-type questions, O'Reilly claimed that anyone who mocks right-wing Christians must be a "Christian Hater." O'Reilly practically foamed at the mouth as he ranted and raved.

It fact, is is hard to find real "Christian Haters" in this country. Most of the people I know find Christians to be rather amusing, when they are not out-and-out hysterically funny. For example the hotel maids who found stains on a hotel sheet and decided it was a picture of the Virgin Mary, or the woman who saw Jesus' face on a toasted cheese sandwich. And then there is my brother-in-law who refuses to let his kids eat alphabet soup because the kids might accidentally spell "satan" or "hell" and then eat the letters... (can you say "de-mon-iac-ly po-ssessed" ?) It's all just too funny. How can you hate such folks? They are a laugh a minute.

No, if you want to find true out-and-out Christian Haters, you have to find people who have really suffered at the hands of Christians. You have to find people who have been hurt through the blindness and arrogance of right-wing Christians. So if you really want to find Christian Haters, I would recommend you travel to Iraq. There are many thousands of people there who are truly suffering because of the vile and disgusting actions of George W. Bush, not to mention the anti-Muslim bigotry of his right-wing Christian friends.

In the U.S. there are probably plenty of people who dismiss Christians and laugh at their foibles, but if you really want to find Christian Haters, then you should go to Iraq. George W. Bush has created many thousands of them.

The blog is devoted to the Kiss My-- Left Behind series

'Kiss My Left Behind' is dedicated to the exposure of religious and political idiocy. We reserve the right to poke fun at, satirize, lampoon, and otherwise mock any religious loonies and political hacks who annoy us.

The "Kiss My Left Behind" books are parodies of various "End Times" novels written by Tim LaHaye, Jerry Jenkins, Ernest Angley, Mel Odum, and others. This genre of religious fiction is meant to encourage the persecution of non-Christians and justify political oppression of religious minorities.
