So you are upset because Bush’s religion is not the same as yours. And you think as President he should only speak about YOUR religion, not his religion.

As to which “God” they worship, there is only one true God, and one true way to have fellowship with Him.

Anybody who worships outside of that paradigm could be said to not be worshipping “the same God”.

Or could be said to be worshipping the only God their is, only incorrectly.

I tend toward the former. We build our own gods to worship because we don’t like the One that exists.

But from an historical point of view, Muslims have the same “God”, they just think Jews and Christians have a very incorrect view of that God, one they think they corrected.

So I guess it depends if you are looking at this from a theological perspective, an historical perspective, or just from the truth.

I don’t particularly expect my President in his official capacity to deal with the theological perspective, and while I hope he is a true believer, I don’t expect him to be correct about all matters of faith.

I know peaceful muslims. That doesn’t make their religion peaceful, or not, it just makes THEM peaceful. I know hate-filled “Christians”. That doesn’t make the religion hate-fulled, just makes THEM hate-filled.

As a true believer, I suspect that true believers won’t be hate-filled nearly as much as followers of false religions. But that’s just my biased opinion. Unfortunately, I have to deal with the consequences of those who say they are my brethren who don’t act like it.

No, Bush claims to be a Christian. Christians don’t follow people, they follow God’s Word.

One of God’s commandments is not to lie.

Another thing a Christian is not to do is praise false gods and religions.

Bush lies and praises false religions, ie., islam, which is of the devil.
