"We assumed this was no longer possible, that human beings had learned to separate religious questions from political ones, that fanaticism was dead. We were wrong"
GOD told George Bush to run for president, and our citizens were stupid enough to vote for him twice. He has put a halt to stem cell research due to his support from the religious right. He has put halts on abortion as well. How is it fair for our government to decide what our morals should be?
Meanwhile, Jesus camps are teaching our children at a young age some pretty scary things. They actually have children idolizing a cardboard cutout of George Bush. Our first amendment is clearly not followed by our political rulers. When will Church and State truly be separate?

To further the notion that our way of government follows religious ideas rather than solely political notions, is that i also heard that George Bush not only consulted God before he ran for president, but he also talked to a "higher being" when he have his speech to first invade Iraq in 2003. God told him to invade Iraq right guys?
ReplyDeleteAnd they say religion is not included within our political government, or political laws.
