Answer 1

Yes, they are. George's conversion to the Light was a political tactic that he needed to employ in order to win the governorship of Texas. What would you rather have, an honest atheist or a hypocritical, so-called Christian?

Answer 2

I feel that some of President Bush's advisors are not the Christians they should be. However, the Bible does say that God has relegated the governance of man to people who govern. And God uses them for various purposes in the same manner that He used Pharoah in Moses' time and the various kings of Assyria, Babylon and Persia in their times. I know that this is a little confusing but God gave us free will to choose between Him and the evil one. So for the proper administration of His church, you must go to church. For the administration of the world you must rely on worldly ones and pray that they are also God's.

God bless you.

Answer 3

right here is the fault on your argument: "the government has no superb being in touch in marriage. marriage is a non secular prepare no longer political one." Marriage has continually been a central authority challenge. it quite is the reason you need to get a marriage license. it quite is a privilege given to you via the government. The ceremony is non secular, no longer the act. This become performed initially to regulate inhabitants in historic circumstances interior the path of the midsection a while. Later it become performed for scientific motives in greater cutting-ingredient circumstances. till the 80's you had to get a blood attempt to get married to work out in case you and your important different's blood varieties could positioned a toddler in threat because of fact of blending constructive and unfavourable blood varieties. on the instant they have drugs that restoration that challenge. whilst did Jesus say we ought to understand different religions? i do no longer undergo in ideas that. it quite is beneficial to learn lower back. final analysis, marriage is thoroughly a central authority challenge. the government instruments the situations that folk can get married via, in simple terms like driving standards. you do no longer enable a blind individual force, and there are motives for it. the debate on the instant is over the justifications for marriage. that concept of marriage has no longer replaced religiously, notwithstanding it has replaced socially and that's the conflict interior the government.

Answer 4

Most religious conservatives are nuts so I doubt they'll notice. They're probably to busy talking to the voices in their heads.

Answer 5

Religious conservatives don't belong in government because religion has no place in government of the United States of America, where did my country go?

Answer 6

I've always thought that Bush and co. were playing the religous crowd for votes. Thats just like Bush.

Answer 7

I suppose it would have been nice if he had followed up on his promises, but instead he just used Christians to win the Presidency so he could further the neo-con agenda.

Answer 8

Haven't we all been hoodwinked before in our lives? Did that mean we were fools, or merely that we trusted where we shouldn't have?

They had every reason to believe that Bush would follow through on his promises to them. Heck, I believed he would, and I am soooo not on that team.

So, I'd hesitate to call religious conservatives "fools" on that basis.

Now, if they keep on buying the bush*t, I guess we could question their wisdom.

After all, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." (Are you taking notes, dubya?)

Answer 9

Of course, they're fools. Bush has made a mockery out of their support.

Answer 10

Your assumption is that Kuo is telling the truth.
