Does * Go To Church Every Sunday?
Just curious. I never see pictures of him coming out of a church service. I believe we used to see that sort of thing on a regular basis in his predecessors presidency.

1. No. For all the bluster, he rarely goes - doesn't have a regular church.
I remember an article about that, somewhere.

2. Stupid never goes to church unless he's campaigning
His conversion came about during a rich man's babble study group in Midland, Texas, where he learned Calvinism and that Jebus didn't make rich men do all that good works stuff if they believed blah blah blah.

He now does rich man's babble study in the White House, if he bothers with it at all, with other like minded Calvinists.

The problem with churches is that they still preach the words of Jesus and they contradict rich man's Calvinism and that makes Stupid's head hurt.

3. Probably not. His 5,000 security guards would fill up the church.

4. I've seen quite a few photo-op pictures ...
... of Bush attending a church service.

It's the only time I ever give him credit for bravery - if I were guilty of his crimes, I'd be terrified to step into a church for fear that God himself would kick my butt right there in front of the entire congregation.

5. He doesn't actually practice any faith. He is "a practical guy"

10. I thought he and Laura were UMC
United Methodist Church. I'd bet that Bar and Poppy are Episcopalians.

8. He is usually at Camp David on weekends instead of
in church.

Generally, I am not comfortable equating someone's spirituality and commitment to Christianity with church attendance. But his actions tell me that he is a hypocrite. In this case, his non-attendance is just one more piece of hypocrisy.

9. Almost never
except if there's a photo-op to be had. Unlike Clinton, who attends envery week. Like everything else, * only goes to church when there's political points to be gained from it.

16. I think all Presidents are required to go to the....
Church of What's Happening Now ? (Flip Wilson?)

Otherwise, this President is definitely a hypocrite if he's forcing *democracy* on a country (Afghanistan?) who kills Christians. :nopity:
