Was Bush* chosen by God to lead in these times of peril?

[Q]

- I hear this several times a day from various sources. Could it be true? Could it be that God whispered in George's* ear one night and called him to serve as his prophet, warrior and leader of the free world? Did God send a similar message to certain members of the Supreme Court?

- How would we know if any of this is true? The problem is that we can't know...which is something Bush* and his loyal enablers depend upon to successfully perpetuate this scam and gigantic leap of faith.

- What if George* is using God and religion to gain political advantage in a country where many claim to be Christian? He has gone way beyond other presidents with their claims of belief in God. Bush* has actually stated that he believes God has called him to lead.

- It's the most cynical of political tactics to invoke God's name to make yourself seem more worthy and moral than your political opponent. But that's exactly what Bush* is doing in a country afraid of its own shadow and looking for protection from 'evil'.

1. Of course god smiles upon

His Oilyness Emperor of the Holy American Empire TM

[Bandit]

2. God Damn the Pusher man

I'll believe it when Bush* calls for Rush to get life imprisonment. God Damn the Pusher man.

[corporatewhore]

3. Wasnt he quoted as saying

"god told me to go after saddam and bomb iraq or something or something like that if so would it be gods fault not georgies not condies not tenet but god allmighty himself is to be blamed about the whole wmd misinformation

[snippy]

14. Yes indeed.

At the Aqaba summit Bush reportedly said that to then Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas.

According to Abbas, immediately thereafter Bush said: "God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them."

This quote has always amused me since Bush's god apparently wants Bush to work for peace in the Middle East only if it does not interfere with Bush's election campaign. How very republican.

34. All it is missing is a few THEEs and THOUs.

It sounds like he quoted it from the next revision of the Bible.
The neo-con version of the Bible.

4. Where are you hanging out?

Where do you hear several times a day the bushlite was choosen by God? I'd find another place to hang out :) .

[Sterling]

5. chosen by God to lead us into these times of peril.

Since the Selection I got a sad feeling that we had forfeted our good karma by allowing our Democracy to slip away without a fight.


9-11 and everthing since has only confirmed that.

[DoYouEverWonder]

6. I am god

and I didn't vote for W.

But in my religion I believe that you are god too, so what does that make W? Actually, in keeping with the gnostic faith I believe W is the embodiment of the anti-christ, therefore not god.

[Bandit]

9. I thought God was all

God is everything and everywhere. If that is true how can there be an anti-christ or Satan?

[DoYouEverWonder]

11. It's that old yin - yang thing

You can't have one without the other and most things are a combination of both. It's the eternal battle of trying to balance the two. However within individuals some are mostly light and some are mostly darkness. Most are a combination of both. I think W & Co fall into the category of mostly darkness and right now it does seem that those who are mostly darkness seem to be winning but this too shall pass, eventually.

[htuttle]

7. So why doesn't GOD find everyone jobs?

Or stop the killing/dying in Iraq? Or global warming and pollution?
Will God do something about Mad Cow disease?
How about God doing something about North Korea?

Or does GOD mostly only care about US elections?

:eyes:

Dear God
Dear God, hope you got the letter, and...
I pray you can make it better down here.
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
but all the people that you made in your image, see
them starving on their feet 'cause they don't get
enough to eat from God, I can't believe in you

Dear God, sorry to disturb you, but... I feel that I should be heard
loud and clear. We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
and all the people that you made in your image, see them fighting
in the street 'cause they can't make opinions meet about God,
I can't believe in you

Did you make disease, and the diamond blue? Did you make
mankind after we made you? And the devil too!

Dear God, don't know if you noticed, but... your name is on
a lot of quotes in this book, and us crazy humans wrote it, you
should take a look, and all the people that you made in your
image still believing that junk is true. Well I know it ain't, and
so do you, dear God, I can't believe in I don't believe in

I won't believe in heaven and hell. No saints, no sinners, no
devil as well. No pearly gates, no thorny crown. You're always
letting us humans down. The wars you bring, the babes you
drown. Those lost at sea and never found, and it's the same the
whole world 'round. The hurt I see helps to compound that
Father, Son and Holy Ghost is just somebody's unholy hoax,
and if you're up there you'd perceive that my heart's here upon
my sleeve. If there's one thing I don't believe in

it's you....

8. Only people who say they are chosen by a god

are actually adored as one. Bush family and Bush ministry of propaganda knows this. Anyone, in this day and age who cannot see how religion is used for evil, is not paying attention.

Relligion is actually enabling death and destruction of innocent people. It is religion and there is not a doubt about it. You got religion? Then you have to believe that these infidels deserved to die under the "sword" of a stupid, and an evil man, George Bush

I dare anyone to tell me how their religion is fighting this Bush fascist, dependance, and arrogant use of the god, in order to kill people.

[guitar man]

10. Hmmm

Was Bush* chosen by God to lead in these times of peril?


Might have been,'cause he damn sure wasn't chosen by the voters.

[jokerman93]

12. I have no doubt he's playing the God card

Yesterday (Sunday), I was sitting at a window table at my favorite cafe. I couldn't help but overhear a loud conversation at a nearby table. Two men were discussing the superiority of "Christ" over the power of learned and intellectual leadership. They were actually siting passages to each other from the gospel that supposedly proved that Christ, although common and uneducated, was able to best the highly educated and legally trained pharisees and judges. One man insisted that he had once been "totally intellectual" before accepting Christ.

The conversation topic then moves to George W Bush. Our erstwhile "totally intellectual" believer, scoffs a bit at Bush for being "a little dumb", but has decided to support Bush because he is "the one making way for 'The Community of Christ'".

It gave me a chill.

And I continued drawing pentagrams...

:scared:

[Q]

22. "...making way for 'The Community of Christ"

- Interesting comment. But why would the 'community of Christ' want to be part of the United States Government?

[IndianaGreen]

13. If GAWD supports Bush, then I will endorse SATAN

Time for a regime change in Heaven!

[MotorCityMan]

19. There is a great series of books by Piers Anthony

that actually has a regime change in Heaven.

The series is called the Incarnations of Immortality. There were seven books where a certain idea or concept was an actual job held by a person. The seven Incarnations in the series were Death, Time, Fate, War, Nature, Evil (Satan), and Good (God).

One of the best sci fi/fantasy series that I have read. Very thought provoking, interesting and entertaining. The last book, "And Eternity", was about getting a new God because the current one was not doing His job.

To stay on topic, though, no, I do not believe God has chosen * to lead.

[librechik]

15. well, the voters sure didn't!

so it makes sense to say god did it, I guess. Which god though?

Beelzebub? Loki? Lucifer? Scalia?

[Chovexani]

33. Loki. Or Eris.

And I bet they're laughing their asses off right now. :P

[oneighty]

16. God gives us Bush*

God gives us Mad Cow.

God kills our children bearing arms against the Godless brown people.

God confuses me.

[snippy]

17. Maybe we should push this theory and cite as evidence the fact

that the republican god also chose Governor Rowland of Connecticut.

[bobbieinok]

18. I live in OK and I hear this everyday

The day after the 'election' of 2000, there were prayer meetings for god to put his hand over the ballots so that W would 'win.'

I have also heard several times in response to the voting fisaco in FL that the whole thing, including ending in the supreme court, proved that god was in charge and overcame the machinations of human beings.

[MotorCityMan]

20. I've heard that crap about God influencing FL, too

You would have thought that God would have just made sure that more people voted for the chimp than for Gore.

[camero]

21. It's for political gain alright

I've never heard him say that Jesus was his savior. In the debates, he called Christ his "favorite philosopher". But not the one he prays to. I hear God invoked alot from him. But you could say that it could be any god since he does not specify the god.

[Generic Other]

23. Unless he walks on water, turns Big Macs into filet mignon, and can

feed the multitudes with two Happy Meals, we can be reasonably certain he's nothing but a charlatan.

[candy331]

24. I didnt hear him calling

on God down in Florida in 2000, so I guess his God turned out to be the United States Supreme court.

[camero]

28. Geneticly Modified of course

:)

[rustydog]

25. If this is so, then God truly is an idiot..

Oops, now I'll go to Hell.

[kodi]

26. he was chosen by 4 men and a woman

the last who now has rightly but belatedly expressed her concerns for her decision.

by right wing logic, hitler was also chosen by god.

[FDRrocks]

27. Yes

If the bible is propaganda purported by Satan.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

29. Sounds like GOD'S a republican! Bummer!

[moondust]

30. Bush was chosen by God to sell shoes.

But he didn't get the message.

[JasonDeter]

31. God would not tell a human being to kill another human being.

That would dishonor Christ and God would never do that.

[MisterP]

32. Moloch is technically a god...

[Gore1FL]

35. Sure he was

Much in the same way Judas Isocarot was chosen.
