I think being born-again is part of Bush's probelm

Would you mind to explain how and WHY?

Are you a Christian??

Because he has too much “compassion” for illegals, Democrats, and others who are breaking our laws and/or threatening our nation.

I think that being ‘born again’ he has accepted the slings and arrows that come his way but sometimes he should defend himself and his policies. By trying so hard to not show what could be considered unChristian attributes, he allows his enemies and the media to define his administration. I think it especially comes into play with his belief/policy concerning illegal immigration. He wants to use the force of the Federal Government to show mercy to illegals, forgetting that most Americans don’t share this view.

I forgot your second question. I consider myself a Christian but a very imperfect one. I have always believed in God and Christ. I became a Catholic back in 97 and my beleif in God and Christ was affirmed when my wife - already a brest cancer survivor - had another lump discovered in 98. She went back one week later and it was gone. Without a doubt, I believed that God removed that lump. And while my wife and I struggle with our faith, my wife has used her life since then to help other women with cancer by taking them to her doctor, improving their recovery chances, etc.

And I became a Catholic because while my wife was raised as a Catholic, she left the Church years ago. After being diagnosed with brest cancer, I saw that she was floundering, sometimes in despair and sadness. Talking with her, I told her that I would become a Catholic if it meant getting her back to God. She went to confession and I became a Catholic.

The 'born agains' are those people who have come back to God and Christ and their manner is so holier-than-thou because they act and behave in a manner that your belief will never be as strong as theirs. I see this even in the Catholic faith. If you read some of the replies to me in this thread, I am automatically assumed to be non-Christian because I dare to challenge or disagree with them. Concernign this thread, I have had some privately freepmail me and agree with me. They do this because they probably do not want the headache of being attacked by the born-agains.
