What a leap of "faith" (CSI)
The show CSI just subtlely, like a 500-pound hammer, slammed the entire "born again" movement. The lead cop in the show basically said that "born agains" have addictive personalities and if not Jesus, it would be (or has been) cocaine, alcohol, cigarettes, gambling and the like. Sort of describes our Commander in Chief.

2. wow. Is the lead cop on the show...
...someone with authority? Someone who's judgement others on the show respect?

4. for a lot of people it is or they would actually read and live the
tenets Jesus set forth for a moral life. I love CSI.

5. That is right.
I haven't seen the show yet, but was watching another show earlier where a psychologist talked about people who allowed themselves to believe things that weren't true because they didn't want to believe the truth. They wanted to believe in the lie because they can't face up to the truth. This is what this whole religious thing is and Bush as some kind of saint because people don't want to believe how bad he is so they would rather believe the lie. I think addiction works a lot like that too. As long as the addict is high, he can't see how messed up his life is.
