"The Gospel According To Dubya"
Interesting article about the inconsistencies in the preachings of Christ and how these may have manifested themselves in the Bush doctrine.

http://www.killingthebuddha.com/damn_nation/gospel_dubya.htm

"The Gospels reveal a profoundly divided messianic figure. In effect, there are two Christs: the do-gooder who urges us to disperse our wealth and forgive our enemies, and the enraged prophet who speaks joyfully of the coming doom, demands absolute loyalty, and expresses open contempt for the poor."

"Christ comes off as the ultimate peacenik, the kind of guy who, if he were running for President, would say things like, “I’m a uniter, not a divider.”

The problem is, he can’t really seem to stay on message.

“Do not suppose that my mission on earth is to spread peace,” he proclaims in Matthew. “My mission is to spread not peace, but division.” (10-34)"

1. Ahhhh... division between people who can do what he says... and people
who claim to do what he says and then turns right around and does the opposite. It fits some presidents to a tee.
