I think he really believes that "Christ" changed his heart. This is the kind of drivel that some fundamentalist Christians often repeat without ever critically analyzing their actions in relation to their words.

You see, for the fundamentalist Christian, all that matters is that one believe that Jesus was the savior and died for their sins. It doesn't go much further than that, however. It is an infantile theology at best. Once one accepts Jesus as his/her savior, then his/her sins are forgiven and they enter heaven. If the person "sins" again, then they are comforted in the knowledge that Jesus will forgive them and they will go to heaven. Therefore, there is no need to analyze ones deeds and actions vs. one's words.

I'm sure George Bush gets on his shifty little knees and prays every day. I'm sure that George Bush feels that the Holy Spirit is working through him, and that all he does is sanctioned by God. I'm sure that he has little remorse for his actions because he feels that he is doing God's will.

He can easily go to the old testament and see many passages where God called upon the believers to kill the enemies of God to the point of "smashing their children's heads upon rocks" (somebody find that passage for me, I know it is there). By jumping back and forth between reading the really whacked out Old Testament, the Gospels, and the writings of Paul, the fundamentalist Christian can justify just about any action and know that God is with him/her.

So, yes, George Bush is a Christian in his image of Christianity, and yes, George Bush really probably believes that "Christ changed my heart". No, his actions do not trouble him one bit because he is convinced his actions are sanctioned by the Almighty.

This is what makes him the most frightening President in the history of the United States of America.
