2. that's just sick!
:puke: :wow:

Scary thing is there are people who really think he's angelic. For me, it pained me just to type that sentence.

4. Declaring there is a false God means there is a chance that
our God if false. How do you tell the difference between the true and false?

11. What if those deeds are deceptive to the point they are
seen as righteous, and those who follow the "Prince of Peace" are seen as worshipers of a false God?

Remember, there is a good percentage that will follow any authoritarian figure and believe his claims of being among the elect. They know him by his deeds, and have been deceived into believing his deeds are part of God's design.

12. Point well taken
I figure anyone who ends up causing grave injury to others is generally not behaving in a godly manner - various ethics arguments apply here to reach this conclusion. Then again, I don't claim to have sufficient intelligence to truly know what "god" is and tend to think that people who claim they do are either fooling themselves, or have a nefarious agenda.

14. Christian right leaders informed their sheep that God
could bring a monster to do his work. If bush destroys America, it is because that is what God wants.

I heard both Falwell and Robertson say that God could send a monster to rule America. bush could be seen as the Whore of Babylon, despicable but necessary for the return of the Messiah.

16. Oh , I don't believe that. No one is so foolish
to not catch on after a while.They WILL KNOW,maybe try to fool themselves, but evil has a way of manifesting itself clearly.

5. Is there any pics or footage of election night 2004 Republican gathering
in D.C.? I've looked various places but haven't found what I remember seeing on TV.

They were in some big hotel or convention center with a large inner courtyard/atrium, tiers and tiers of gold (colored) balconeys, gold chandeliers, a gold podium, gold backdrop . . . . EVERYTHING gold. I was startled at the gauche, absolute over-the-top expression of aristocracy a la Louis XIV!!

10. Blasphemy, by any religious standard
the Book is as clear as rainwater on that point. The God of the Book is a jealous God, who has no truck with imposters. People have been smote for a lot less. I wouldn't want to be in W's shoes. Not even for a ride in air force one.

13. Behold! A god that BLEEDS!



No threats from me. I'm just saying that most people would expect a God or one of god's "anointed" to be able to safely ride a bicycle or eat a pretzel.

Actually, Lincoln and Washington are puking, not praying, in this picture . . .

18. Has there ever been any president that has gotten treatment like this?
This is what gets me about the sixtoed dumbasses that fall for the propaganda - it's like they think this kind of thing is NORMAL, that all the presidents have gotten photographed as saints with haloes and especially favored by the ghosts of Washington and Lincoln. These pictures are so blatantly over the top that they are obviously propaganda. How the hell can't people see them that way?

21. Barf City
Some of this can be attributed to photographic art, but the thrust is obvious- a haloed chimp.
