I made a comment in another question that stated "I do not think bush is a Christian." I got a ton of thumbs down. Wow, are there that many Christians out there that really think he is. The man is nothing short of the anti Christ IMHO.
So this question is open to all...How many think Bush is a Christian and why or why not.

A long time ago I read that Reagan was prophesied to that he was the President who would lead the world to Armageddon. It didn't happen. I think someone did the same thing to Bush. First, he was never elected President. He stole the office in Florida in 2000 and again in Ohio in 2004. It was made certain that Bush would hold the title. The scary thing is, he only has a few months left to fulfill this so-called prophesy. He's stupid enough to do anything to make it happen. That's Mr. Bush.

to put it in mind , I have some doubts of Bush`s religion. A couple of weeks ago I myself asked if Bush is a Satanist . He is a member of the secret society Skull and Bones . He was also seen in the Bohemian Groves . These aren`t almost christian beliefs .The secret organizations I mentioned are almost blasphemous if not satanic.
As a conclusion I really doubt if Bush is a christian considering that he`s dad is actually a member of the Illuminati

Politicians have learned that professing to be a Christian helps them get votes. votes = power. So, they shamelessly profess to be Christian in order to get more power.
And people naively believe it each time some politician says he is Christian in order to get their vote and they go ahead and vote for him. Inevitably, the politicians disappoint them because the politicians are just trying to get more power.
Jesus taught something very different. He taught that "whoever is first among you must be servant to all"- servant leadership. That was the significance of him washing the disciples' feet at the Last Supper- humble service. Jesus taught service, peace, loving God, loving enemies, and humility.
Being a Christian means lots of different things to different people. For instance, some might call Bush a Christian because he professes a belief in Jesus Christ. Others might not call him a Christian because they feel that he doesn't live up to the ideals of the faith- "by their fruits you will know them."
I'm not one to judge him myself. It is between him and God.
Blessings.

Firstly Bush is part of the insider system that stinks to high heaven,a puppet controlled by much more powerful forces than himself, if he is truly a Christian then why is he a member of Skull&Bones? and who knows how many other secret societies.
Politics is a medium where the good die young and the false are rewarded for their undying obedience to higher powers.

You're a Christian? More like Judge & Jury and you've all but convicted the man. He's still a human being! And don't forget,
You are not GOD!
President Bush is a Christian.
God Bless You.

I believe that GW Bush is a Christian. He has spoken often about his conversion, and the effects that it has had on his life. He credits it with turning him from a life of partying and drinking that (besides getting him a DUI on his record many years ago) was in danger of destroying his life.
There is a lot of evidence that he continues to practice that faith in God, regularly prays and reads the scriptures. He has taken strong stands on many of the moral issues of the day in support of the Christian faith.
But he also found himself President at a time when the US was attacked. And so he had to make decisions based on that which may be difficult to support as "Christian" decisions. That has included going to war.
To often we forget that the moral commandments given to individuals (such as turning the other cheek and forgiving when wronged) were not given to government. There are different rules for the two.
In the Bible, the words "an eye for eye" were originally given to the government of Israel as a guideline for sentencing criminals. (It means "the punishment should fit the crime'). But when individuals were trying to use that as an excuse for personal revenge, Jesus rebuked them and told them that inidiviuals are to forgive.
In the Bible, God called the government (or nation) on multiple occasions to go to war to defend itself. That meant that the leader had to be the one to lead the killing. Today, that person is GW Bush.
I will grant you that Bush has not always been the most effective leader. He appears to be more goal orientated then people orientated, and so often runs over people to try to get to his goal. But that is a personality trait, not a "religion". In the Bible, the apostle Paul had the same type of forceful personality. (And it got him into some of the same kinds of people problems.) but I doubt that anyone would say Paul was not a Christian.

I think he believes as a Christian, but he's a man. He does what his constituents tell him to do. Not very Christian, but that's what a president does.

Romans 13:3 For rulers (or presidents) are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Will you not then be afraid of the power? (or respect their authority) do that which is good, and you shall have praise of the same.
13:4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. BUT IF THOU DO THAT WHICH IS EVIL, BE AFRAID; for he beareth not the sword in vain.
Here is the NLT (new living translation) Romans 13:1-7
Obey the government, for God is the one who put it there. All governments have been placed in power by God. So those who refuse to obey the laws of the land are refusing to obey God, and punishments will follow. For the authorities do not frighten people who are doing right, but they frighten those who are doing wrong. So do what they say and you will get along well. The authorities are sent by God to help you. But if you are doing something wrong, of course you should be afraid, for you will be punished. The authorities are established by God for that very purpose, to punish those who do wrong. So you must obey the government for two reasons: to keep from being punished and to keep a clear conscience. PAY YOUR TAXES for these same reasons. For government workers need to be paid so they can keep on doing the work that God intended them to do. Give to everyone what you owe them: pay your taxes and import duties, and give RESPECT AND HONOR to all to whom it is due..
YES, President Bush is a christian.
