God proclaims George Bush "Jesus Christ Almighty." George W. Bush, known for his close walk with the Lord, has accepted the blood moniker of 'President Jesus'.

Last three MetaFilter posts:

The "hump"...old news
The crazy general...not surprising
Jesus Bush.... cheap satire

"Captain Quint, with all the chum we're throwing in the water for these republicans, we're gonna need a bigger boat."

But, I guess its a nice day to go trolling.......

Even though it is not polite to ask, I have to know why doesn't President Bush go to church?

A person does not need to attend church in order to be a believer, nor in order to be religious. And I say that as a lifelong atheist.

And as referenced above -- WTF is the point of this post? I hate religion as much as the next guy (well, as much the next atheist), but cripes -- ANOTHER Bush-is-evil-cuz-he's-Christian thread is just a waste of time, bandwidth, and brainpower. MOVE. ON. Already.

Why don't you just admit that you passionately despise more that half of the country? People who live in the same country as you do believe in god. Deal with it.
I don't have any problem with them as I respect their existance and understand necessary compromise in society.

davidmsc, it's supposed to be funny.

VP Dick Cheney, when asked to comment, said he was bemused as to why YHWH didn't consult him first but that he was considering the president's request to change his name to "Saint Dickie." Defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld is said to be fancying the moniker "Joseph Americathea."

joseph america-thea. i like that. but the kindest cut of all is saved for the new secretary of state who "isn't sure how she feels because the president hasn't yet told her what to think."

What davidmsc said. And the whole Bush-Jeebus thing is low hanging fruit for bad satirists. Grow teeth!

...passionately despise more that half of the country?

So if I think someone's beliefs are inconsistent or even ridiculous, I "passionately dispose" them? If I think the President has a touch of hubris about him, I "passionately despise" everyone who voted for him, for whatever reason?

Is this post a troll? Maybe. But two trolls don't make a right. Or an informed debate. Or something like that.

I really doubt he's that faithful/religious. The fundy's eat this shit up and he knows it.

Jesus wants social security reformed. So suck it up and follow the Lord. Buy more stocks lest yea burn in communist hell.

I agree with davidmsc, what is the point of this post?
Folks, nothing to see here, please move to the next one.

davidmsc, it's supposed to be funny.

And yet it's flat as Kansas, and twice as broad.

HTuttle, that may be true, but he also doesn't read the Bible.

So all he's left with is proclaiming loudly that he loves the Jesus, but doesn't go to church, and doesn't read his (His) words.

With all the gorgeous weather across most of the country this this afternoon, anyone with enough good sense to post something interesting is outside. (I was just on my way out, honest!)

You did not just link to an Al Franken interview as your evidence.


btw: you and Steve mended fences yet?

When religion and politics ride in the same cart, the whirlwind follows.
