Reply #168: I have never seen an interview where Bush actually states his beliefs [View All]

Why do no reporters ever ask him any quesitons about what he believes as far as religion? So far as I can see he cozys up to fundamentalists, but I have always heard him at Methodist and Episcopal churches, and they are almost left wing a lot of 'em.

I'd like to know if he thinks Islamic people are going to hell. I'd like to know if he thinks you are damned if you arent baptized, and whether he thinks the full immersion people are gonna get to heaven and if the sprinkled people are in trouble. I'd like to see him answer the question if he thinks a women who has an abortion, but doesn't pray for forgiveness if she is going to hell. Does he believe in hell? Does he believe you have to be "saved" to go to heaven? What about the Jews? Does he think they will go to hell?

I've seen interviews where Clinton discussed his own faith very candidly and in great detail, referencing the Bible and really giving you an idea of what he believed. Bush on the other hand always just kind of quotes a few Bible verses and is kinda vague.

As much of an issue as faith has been I am surprised no reporter has ever questioned him. Maybe none have any knowlege themselves and therefore can't ask questions?
