I'll vote for Bush* if he can prove God is on his side
- Bush* and his American Taliban followers insist that he was 'chosen by God' to lead this country during these 'times of war'. We're told that it's his 'divine calling' to fight 'terrorism' and protect the American people from harm.

- Call me a skeptic...but how are we to know if Bush* and his followers are telling the truth? What if they're just making this up to help Bush* get elected in 2004?

- I'll make a deal with the 'devil': I'll vote for Bush* if someone can show me ANY kind of evidence that he is one of God's chosen.

2. prove to me first that god exists
Edited on Sat Jan-31-04 08:08 AM by buddhamama
and i'll give my vote to *.

i could worship my garbage can, call it god and base my entire life on cleaning up waste, but it doesn't make 'true or correct'. it may make it easier for me to justify my actions, and for others to do the same but that proves nothing.

6. God told me to respond to this thread.
He also told me with great confidence that Bush will NOT be reelected in 2004! And as a side note he said Bush is one of his favorite do gooders because he is so easily manipulated by a higher authority.

14. Welcome...and perhaps you can give us a clue as to...
...how we can get one of these 'connections' to God?

- It seems that throughout history there are always certain 'special' people in which God 'confides' or 'chooses' to do his bidding. But how can we know for sure which people are chosen and which are charlatans using HIS name for political advantage?

12. Evidence?
In a quest for truth, I decided to go to Google and let bush chosen by god give me a sign.

An opening snip from the first search result of about 232,000 follows:

NORMAN (GWB) --
President Bush is seen by many of his supporters as an answer to their prayers. "He was hand picked by the man upstairs and that's good enough for me," gushes Tammy Foster, a spot welder from Norman, Oklahoma. She points to Divine Inspiration to explain the miracle of Bush's getting Iraq to disarm as a prelude to U.S. attack. "If that's not Christlike, I don't know what is," said Foster.

19. What is required is a GIGANTIC leap of faith...
...to believe that someone of Bush's* character and 'background' could be chosen to 'lead' by anyone other than his friends on the 'supreme' Court.

20. Fear
Organized religions have always claimed that one must live in a constant state of fear.

Organized religion's god, is fear. That god is well represented by *.
