Bush Could Not Have Gotten It More WRONG!
Earthside Commentary:

July 18, 2004

Bush Could Not Have Gotten It More WRONG!

 "I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn't do my job.''
G.W. Bush - July 16, 2004

Indications are that contained within the 9/11 Commission report, to be release this Thursday, is information that there were real contacts between the September 11 al Qaida hijackers and the government of Iran - that's Iran with an "n", not Iraq with a "q". This report then will further demonstrate that Bush was so determined to attack Iraq that he eagerly put forth false intelligence about Saddam's weapons of mass destruction and ties to al Qaida to justify ordering the unprovoked attack.

3. God is not a liar.
God neither lies explicitly nor implicitly; however, God does make poor choices in selecting who God speaks to and for God if God is actually speaking through or to these claimers at all. One would think that God being God would understand that those of Shrubby's ilk would not pay attention to what God says, thinks, or does; therefore, not correctly interpret or pass messages that are to be passed through them. Yet, that is what we are being led to believe from these believers in God if we are to believe what the believers say and do. Somehow, I believe it is the believers who are the liars and not God.

5. I dunno--Bush lies every time he speaks--he claims a god speaks through
him, therefore, his god is a liar. I think you are right in the premise that if the god were omnificient,and omnipotent , that she would certainly realize that Bush being the liar he is, would claim lies about his god. Certainly she would know that a person like Bush would not pay attention to her.

:shrug:

6. One God(?)
If there be one God, then Shrubby's God is the same as everyone else's God. That means that Shrubby's God is not a liar for God neither explicitly nor implicitly lies. In that God is not a liar, then all that remains is that Shrubby must be the liar. This much God would know for God knows all things. Of course God would still talk to Shrubby for God talks to all, both listeners and non-listeners alike; but, not all who listen hear what they want to hear just as not all those who do not listen do not hear. Shrubby and those of his ilk are of the class of those who listen; but, do not hear. Instead, they hear not what God had said to them; but, what they wish God had said to them and ignore all the rest. It is not God who lies to them, it is them lying to themselves about what God tells them.

4. Michael Moore said it best . . .
(paraphrasing) . . . "God did not tell Bush to attack Iraq; that's the devil's job" . . .
