You still miss the point.

Which is....drum roll......

That holding Bush accountable to his own standards, he (along with his supporters) is a total hypocrite, a pseudo Christian who talks about the love of Jesus in one breath and drops bombs on children in the next.

No, I didn't miss it. For one, you assume the premise. Bush never claimed to hold himself to a Godly standard. For another, even if one accepts the premise, using hypocrisy as an argument against hypocrisy is self-defeating.

You don't judge whether a person was a liberal by comparing him/her to their time. You judge them by their actions, their morals. Jesus was not a liberal by any means. What he stood for, what he called men to do, was not liberal. He actually was a mixed bag of philosophy. Heck John F Kennedy was a conservative compared to today and Nixon was a liberal.

I guess Obama never claimed to care about killing women and children so that makes him exempt? Talk about hypocrisy!

Thumbs down What does Jesus think George W Bush's legacy is?

According to the "religious right" Jesus is a Republican, so Dubya's in tight with JC.



Jesus always did hang with the rich and powerful didn't he?

Gandhi had it right:

"I like your Christ. I don't like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ"

He was right. The entire neocon cabal lied about everything they did yet somehow I'm supposed to believe that people who like war, torture, and hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi's dead is acting in accordance with the teachings of Christ?

May the ultimate judge know what is in everyone's heart. If so, these people will be thrown into the lake of fire where they belong

BTW, I agree with the war argument that we never should have been in Iraq. But as for abortion, you and I are on two different planets.
I agree with Repubs about abortion & gay marriage, but why are these the only two issues a Christian should care about & vote on?

In the New Testament wealthy Christians sold their land and possessions to give aide to the poor among them, in this case specifically fellow Christians. However Jesus in Matthew 25 is clearly talking about all the poor around the believers.

What would Jesus think about the fact that 60,000 Americans die each year from treatable problems because they lack health insurance?

Do you think Jesus would be happy that 12 yr old Demonte Driver died from an infected tooth because his parents couldn't afford to take him to the dentist - in the same year Bush vetoed a bill giving all children minimum health coverage? A routine dental visit would have saved his life

Apparently you only think children are made in the image of God before they're born

I think we'll never know until we all reach the gate where there's a Y in the road, one heaven and the other place, maybe then we might know how jesus judged him and others. If there is a jesus, a heaven and another place. Right now, I don't think it matters, the thread is just fodder for righties and lefties to hash out their differences of opinions. I'm more worried right now about where to get parts for my GMC after GM goes under water. I'm also worried about where to get my Chrysler/Jeep serviced more than anything. Should have probably bought lawnboys.
