If God gives bush daily instructions on what to do?
In view of the fact that Bush screws up all most everything. Does that mean, God does not know what to do either or does it mean Bush can't follow instructions? Or is God dead?

If you look at the problems that Bush has had with; 9/11, three hurricanes hitting Florida and oil production stymied in the Gulf of Mexico, Mt. Saint Helens acting up, Insurgents in Iraq, The Flu vaccine problem and no doubt others. This looks like an indication that God is not on Bush's side of this situation. If we are so inclined to put our faith in God's help lets at least get someone new in there who God likes a little bit anyway.

The Eskimos who live a very dangerous life style will not follow a unlucky leader. Why should we?

Yep this is our fearless leader, a drunk who keeps running the ship of state into the shallows and aground.

2. maybe God is losing to Allah?
or maybe God is infalliable and we just don't always hear her right.

I believe in Darwinism for deities, God replaced Yaweh, Allah is muscleing God out the door.

who's next? My money's on Kali...

5. You are mistaken, it is not interpretation.
Allah is just a particular name for God.

Your differences are without distinction.

God is a concept, not a doctrine.

9. in your interpretation
I personally, am a polytheist. You may believe that different Gods are different aspects of the same thing, while I believe they are in fact different entities. Who are you to state, as a fact, that all gods are the same thing, and that it has always been so?

7. I appreciate the humor, but God and Allah are the same being...
just to nitpick.

otherwise, I think what you said was funny. :)


I don't think Bush is receiving signals from God. For one thing, God is not that mean, naive or incompetent.

I also don't think he's receiving signals from Satan because Satan, although that mean, is not that naive.

I think he's receiving signals from the same dogs that talked to David Berkowitz.

8. I agree, it was funny, and Kali is surely the odds-on favorite...
but this type of dialog illustrates how deeply entrenched the Abbott and Costello God/Satan model has become.

I don't get it...and, clearly, many others don't as well.
