Bush Vs. Jesus
Courtesy of a commentor at a thread on the Dean blog, we get a link to someone who's compared Bush's policies to the statements of his alleged hero. One small sample (format altered):
On Good and Evil
[Bush] referred to Iran, Iraq and North Korea as an "axis of evil". (State of the Union Address, 2002) --repeatedly refers to struggle between good and evil, always casting the actions of the United States as "good" "...there's power, wonder-working power, in the goodness and idealism and faith of the American people." (State of the Union Address, 2003)
[Jesus] (Matthew 7)"Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
( Mark 10:18) "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good–except God alone.
Anyway, more where that came from.

Religion is the most dangerous energy source known to humankind. The moment a person (or government or religion or organization) is convinced that God is either ordering or sanctioning a cause or project, anything goes. The history, worldwide, of religion-fueled hate, killing, and oppression is staggering. —Eugene Peterson (from the introduction to the book of Amos in the Bible paraphrase The Message)
Let the Spirit of Love and Truth be with you and guide you.
Peace be with you, Paul
