Christians everywhere should denounce Bush.

[coloradodem2005]

Why?

Christians seem to talk about finding peace and about loving your neighbor. If that is the case they should not want to associate with someone who starts wars.

They seem to hate the death penalty and Bush is not only a proponent of it, but as governor of Texas, has put more people to death than any other governor in the United States, ever.


THey seem to hate foul language and there are three separate instances of Bush using that kind of language in a way that is hostile to others.

They seem to be for helping the poor and Bush has done more to hurt the poor than anybody.


I say seem because that is what Christians talk about and yet Conservative (not all) Christians support this madman, whom, if there is a hell, he certainly belongs there.

I know that there are a lot of good christians who are smart and know better and they follow the teachings at least what is good and decent very well. I am talking about the higher ups. The high profile ones. Just my opinion.

Anybody got anything to add?

1. Well I have a neighbor

who had this to say a few months back:

"I'm glad we invaded and bombed Iraq. It was revenge for September 11th."

When I told her Afghanistan was for Sept. 11, she said she still didn't care.

When I mentioned the thousands of innocents, including children and babies, who have died in Iraq as a result of this she shrugged and said, "That's war" (while sitting in her leather chair with $100 shoes on sipping Crown Royal and Coke out of a cut crystal glass--she'd really know a hell of a lot about war, eh?).

When I mentioned the Baghdad maternity hospital we accidentally hit, she still shrugged. "At least they don't have Saddam Hussein anymore," she said.

We are both Christians. She goes to church and I don't and she has looked down her nose at me for not going.

Does that make any sense?

I didn't think so.

2. I think..

..if she believes in this so much, she should go fight. I am tired of these people that are gung ho for this and they would not put themselves on the line for it. Just how I feel. I am sick of this. All of it.

3. The actual "christianity" of a person is inversely proportional

to the volume of their public proclamations of it.

I say that from 62 years of experience and as an atheist who agrees
almost 100% with the purported teachings of Jesus.

4. Guy James spoke on this very thing

yesterday on his radio show. He had some very strong thoughts on the subject.

5. These "right' Christians always have a quote for all this.

I grew up in a family that went to church and went each week to church school and all that but I have yet to mix these "rights" people up with people who are 'real' Christians. I guess everyone have their fringe groups.My big kick is that they have to have every one do as they want. Why can't they just leave us alone?
