Perhaps my eye is more critical than yours, having spent 20 years in bible study, I don't know. Would you say that Bush believes he is right in his vision for the world? If so that makes him pious.
I believe President Bush has asked for God's guidance as he makes decisions as to how he must lead......because he has said so....... and I don't think any of us here (unless Ted Kennedy is lurking) thinks he's a liar.
I believe he is being obedient to what God is leading him to do in his life, and in his job (just like all Christians are to do......it's just that his job is to be the leader of the free world).
I do not see any arrogance in this man spiritually. I have seen over and over again, evidence that he is completely humble before God, and I pray often that he remains so.
I believe he thinks he is right, but that is because he believes it is how God is leading him.
Not (phony) piety, but God's call to lead others whom He loves equally, to live in freedom through the power and goodness of America.
That's how I see it, as a Christian of nearly 50 years, who has more respect for this President than any other leader I have ever seen.
