He said he did. Do y ou believe him? I don't mean the kind of one-way converstation (prayer) that we all do but instead the two way converation where God speaks back in an audible voice.

Anyone can have a two-way conversation with God. That's an aspect of faith, and it's a common part of many religions.
It's when you start making political decisions solely based on religious grounds that we start seeing problems.

Like many things, I think Bush misunderstands what a two-way conversation means. I don't think he really means that God's voice talks back to him. I think he's assuming his intuition/thoughts/reflections is/are God's words. (That seems like a dangerous assumption, by the way).
Faith is one thing. Hearing God's distinct and audible voice is another thing entirely -- unless Cheney, Rove and the Christian Right are playing a joke on him in the next room.

I don't think that anyone can have a 2-way conversation with God, unless your nuts. The only way you can "hear" god is to have faith and feel it in your heart, and not literally hear it. I don't think that Bush meant what he said, I think it was just a figure of speech, he is baptist, and that phrase is said a lot in that religion.

I think that he believes that he speaks to God and that he hears God respond. However, lots of people believe that. Osama Bin Laden claims the same thing.
I think they are both wrong. Simply enough, if God was speaking to either of them, He would be telling them about love, charity and peace, and that is clearly not the message they are getting.
The other possibility is that he is lying. But I think he believes it; he's just wrong.

I believe the last human who had a direct talk with God was, Moses.

The claim that he actually said that is questionable at best, and most likely not true at all.
So, your ad hominem attack on Bush, without any real evidence that he said any such thing, is quite typical of the Democrat politics of personal destruction.
I am saddened that so many people just placidly accept such fabrications (like the alleged and unsupported "Constitution just a g.d. piece of paper") without question, like sheep.
If you are not skeptical of the veracity of such statements, if you unquestionably just accept them as gospel without seeking verification of these as fact, it does not say much about your discernment.

I have always believed that if a person gains comfort from "talking" with his god, it can't hurt.....however, if that person says god talks back to him.............then he is just crazy as a loon.
Presidents are not exceptions to this opinion.
He is a madman and is totally out-of-control.

No but I do see a lot of liberals making up lies on here about Bush and that's why people (even their own people) are hating them.

Bush wouldn't know God if he was smacked in the face with a bible.

Hmm, well they say that if you talk to God that's called prayer, but if He talks back, that's called schizophrenia. ;)
