Two atheists so far who are not Bush fans...
2007-11-20 17:25:52 · update #1
I'm asking because I'm just curious about how religious beliefs factor into politics.

He seems keen on fighting the right, sounds like he doesn't need any support. Says God tells him everything, my reply of course to him would be yes I know, I heard him.
But on a more serious note to your intellectual question. God doesn't speak to people that way, he speaks to us through the Bible.
And makes Himself known to who He chooses.
But we need to use discernment when people tell us things they claim are from God, and in our making decisions.
Not be like dear Joan of Arc hearing voices, or Hitler for that matter who was clearly misguided to say the least.

I'm an atheist... and I do not support Bush or his administration. He's a toady mouthpiece for big business (oil and religion--yes, religion is a business) and has not a wit of sense in his head. He has pushed this country back 3 dozen years or more and his leadership is detrimental to this country. His kowtowing to the religious people in this country is disgusting.
But he's a conservative Christian evangelical... what more can we expect.

I am an atheist and I am against Bush . It was a bad idea to go into Iraq . And the reason to do so was a lie .
Bush has ruined the economy ,mostly because he and his cohorts did not think the effect of war all the way through .
The USA response to Hurricane Katrina was criminal at best .
The response to the California wildfires was lacking due to not enough Nation Guard People .
Our relations with England and other countries are strained . His failure to get the Kyoto Treaty ratified by the USA is a black mark .
His relations with government employees has been immoral ( e.g. pardoning criminals that did his dirty work ) .
I don't think my Atheism has much to do with my dislike of Bush . I don't agree with his enabling faith based groups to receive govt. funds . And I certainly don't support his Supreme Court nominations . But his post 9-11 responses are mostly what make me adverse to him and his administration .

Christian:
I was for Bush, now I don't care for him as he has made too many mistakes. I still think both Gore and Kerry are worse then Bush in just about anyway shape or form. Al 3 are fat cats and products of the establishment. All 3 lie. Gore lies poorly. Kerry changes his lies constantly. At least Bush keeps most of his lies consistent. Still, he does make bad choices.

I think The Great Gazoo (an atheist) is a conservative type, but I don't think even he supports Bush. I could be wrong, though.
To put it gently: I'm not a fan of the man.

He could be the nicest guy in the world, but he's about as smart as a half asleep dog and I'd have to say the same about those who continue to support his actions.

This should go well. Bush is doing what needs to be done, scripturally speaking. But he is not doing it for spiritual reasons. Mathew 24 I believe states that the gospel of Jesus Christ must be taught to every kindred , tongue and nation. It is working out that bush is trying to install religious freedom in the new Constitution of the liberated Iraq. Of course they are having non of it . But they were offered the chance and turned it down. Now we turn to Iran. Will the same thing happen there. It is written that God sets kings up and takes them down. And if you notice it means nothing to support any politician because the one that gets in office is the one that has the backing of the people or business with the most money. Correct me if i am wrong but i think that the last 2 presidents were not voted in by popular vote. We are no longer in control. I think everybody should get out and vote, but I am saying don't take it too seriously.

Atheist here. Not a Bush fan. It might help if having him in office has given us at least ONE benifit. It hasn't. The sooner he's out, the better.
Oil's well that ends well, eh, Georgie?
