HELP argueing with fundie Bush statements about what GOD
told him to do Iraq Afghanistan, and GOD chose him to be President,

And finally something in the bible about "Don't listen to those who say they are doing my work"

Or whatever... So far the only thing I can find is mathew 24:24

"Mat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if possible, they shall deceive the very elect."

1. That's a good scripture; but here's another one I love, that should help
Matthew 7: 21-23

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

6. Here is the text of G.W.'s comments
This is what George W. supposedly told Palestinian officials:

"I'm driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, 'George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan'. And I did, and then God would tell me, 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq...' And I did. And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, 'Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East.' And by God I'm gonna do it'."

2. I'd just ask them why they believe in a mythical being
but that's just me.

3. Don't argue with idiots
They'll only drag you down to their level and flog you with years of experience...

4. Just like capitalism has been confused with democracy, I ....
think that Haliburton has been confused for God.

7. The Skeptic's Bible is a good spot to start. . .
http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/

Lots of useful info and links.

There's a like to the Skeptic's Koran, too, and one for a Book of Mormon as well.
