Now we understand the depth of hatred old Europe has for our president because:

He's a Republican
He's a Conservative
He's a Christian

Summing it up, he's NOT billyjeff

"Nowhere does the Bible call for crusades." This guy doesn't know his testaments....the Old is full of nothing but... as for their comments, let's just say "pharasaical" comes to mind....they enlarge the borders of their garments...and the moneychangers have been hard at work doing business with the RomansIraqis...

[Henchman]

Now I see where the Copycrats get their anti-God, liberal, anti freedom, socialist, Godless beliefs from - Europe! Their one sided beliefs gave rise to this country; they always lookd down on us and now they are CHOCKING on their own BARFF! Talk about a degenerate society that is on the way out - it is they!

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD , the people he chose for his inheritance.

Psalm 33:12

I have lived in Europe for 3 years. This is a post-Christian continent. Very few people regularly attend church of any kind, and they are usually the very old. When I was visiting America not too long ago, I noticed that you could almost feel the spirit if Christianity in some communities there...it was alive in every facet of the lives of the citizens. I believe the God has blessed America--may He continue to do so.

Religion to the French is like Garlic to a vampire.
As my French friend told me, 60% of the French are now atheist.

GOD grates Europeans.

They prefer to think they are ABOVE HIM!

Bush grates Europeans as most anyone from Texas would and anyone with a backbone and sense enough to take honorable stands for RIGHT over wrong--well--something are just beyond the pale in terms of European sensibilities and comfort zones . . . Europeans including such a sizeable percentage of idiots etc.

Cowboys grate Europeans who consider their poop refined . . . which, I suppose it is . . . to a very coarse degree. But it still stinks.

Probably real life grates Europeans. They'd probably prefer to have slaves live it for them; send the checks from the colonies and avoid tracking mud in on the marble or parquet floors.

>>Bush Mix of God and War Grates on Many Europeans<<

Tough titty.

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

No less than the German president, French prime minister and Belgian foreign minister have joined religious leaders in expressing concern about Bush's beliefs and the place of religion in U.S. politics

The problem is while Jesus Christ is in the hearts of many who fight this war some of the people and these countrys choose to have their god in a book or a religion instead of truly allowing Christ into their lives they call on him when it fits the situtation and when they know Christ wouldnt approve they simply leave him behind

News flash

Christ dont work that way your either for him or against him

Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

So is bush pushing an agenda for Christianizing the world or is he simply beleiving in god the way god wishes him too

I dont hear him shoving religion down the throats of beleivers of other faiths or forcing out religions that dont fit a certain criteria there are still many religions in the states and around the world who dont beleive Christ is the one true God .

What i do hear him doing is Beleiving in Christ and asking for prayers for our country and troops and he should be free to do both as he chooses president or not he is a christian and our freedom to beleive in christ does not stop with the mantle of President .

[Eva]

Religion that puts God before state is anathema to socialists.

[Zeroisanumber]

As an Athiest with a desire for strong separation of Church and State, it bothers me. But it's not that difficult to ignore or work past. I'm suprised that Europe has that much trouble with it.

[DeuceTraveler]

In Europe thou must not worship any god but Marx.

[Psycho_Bunny]

I don't think it would be possible to care less what Europe thinks.

[ODDITHER]

"But this careless way of using religious language is not acceptable anymore in today's world."

God forbid, anyone uses religious language - it might offend the atheists, homosexuals, liberals, pornography lovers, etc etc.

Besides maybe this liberal trash might stick after all -

We tried to get him on being anti-abortion early on and found that the majority of Americans agreed with his position.

We tried to get him on his stance post 9-11 but found that the majority of Americans agreed with him.

We tried to get him on the war in Iraq, but now he is enjoying overwhelming success and support.

So no let's get him on religion.
We can tolerate him being many things, conservative, trustworthy, honest, compassionate but the one thing we just can't stomach is his faith.

[JudgemAll]

misusing faith

ah, like the Germans or the French use faith appropriately by taxing it and creating government blessed religions.

What a load of crap.

And also the Euros have no understanding of the superstitious nature of their lives based in ideologies serving certain people and gods of their own making. Their so called "realism" or secularism is highly misplaced when it does not expect victory but mediocre results only to self congratulate themselves on achieving their mediocre expectations. There is no moral clarity when one does not expect victory and one forgets that access to the benefits of science must come through people that can only be trusted if they believe in God and not themselves or other gods, ideologies and people. There are inalienable truths and goods in this gray world that self impose themselves. Whatever grates at Euro ears right now is what is going to make the Iraqis sleep better in the future hopefuly. Too bad the Euros cannot sleep well because the Iraqis can now.

No less than the German president, French prime minister and Belgian foreign minister have joined religious leaders in expressing concern about Bush's beliefs and the place of religion in U.S. politics.

WHy can't the President be free to speak? That the US President shows his faith makes not America a theocracy. But that these maniacal idiots confining the world according to their pretexting antiAmerican hate "precepts" impose on the US their forms of unrepresented government is patent imposition of an institutionalized mode of thinking of their own that is not representing the people. And why do they worry about Bush's faith but not Jiang's, Stalin's, Hitler's or their own?

[JudgemAll]

Let us face it, anything Bush says is wrong. It is part of their cheap shots antiUS hateful propaganda and rehtorical excrement dug up from the Nazi cemeteries of Europe. Euros find nothing wrong with them and everything wrong with Bush. They keep cleansing, religious and ethnically cleansing themselves.

[ApesForEvolution]

Even the notion that one true living Lord God Almighty exists grates most Europeons.

[PhilipFreneau]

I'll bet Franklin Delano Roosevelt really riled the Europeans when he led the entire United States in prayer during World War II.
