He did not need to explicitly state Jesus was God. He was not a preacher.

Like I say, we have radically differing interpretations of what a Christian is.

I'll say, since I am not willing to spend the time to find better quotes, George Washington did not explicitly say (that I can find at this time) that he did not believe Jesus Christ was God, his Lord and Savior. His never having made this claim publicly, I don't see why I would believe that he believed it to be the case though. Piety is nice. It's not Christianity though. Oh, and others who claim certain people are "Christians" often have very loose definitions of this term as well. This is nothing new.

We do? What is your interpretation of what a Christian is?

Point out just one thing in Washington's life or words that is INCONSISTENT with true Christian faith. You won't find one thing pal. He was a paragon of Christian virtue - more than any other American who ever lived in IMHO.

It's quite obvious that Bush isn't able to live by the virtuous standards that Washington did! I've already pointed out some egregious anti-christian statements by GWB. What say you?
