7. Well, he's right about one thing
Since Bush seems to have substituted the biblical Satan for Christ, we do rather despise his misuse of the term "Christian."

Remember, the Antichrist isn't a single person. It's anyone who says and does the opposite of Jesus's teachings. By their works shall you know them.

5. Do you have that letter? What is the date?
bob jones, american family radio, and on and on and on. These people have one helluva surprise coming when they knock on the pearly gates and tell Jesus what a great job they did on earth. Jesus will whip their asses and gladly turn them over to Satan for safekeeping. Please christians quote the bible and tell me how wrong I am.

10. Here is the letter and link:

Congratulatory letter to President George W. Bush from Dr. Bob Jones III
November 3, 2004

President George W. Bush
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

Dear Mr. President:

The media tells us that you have received the largest number of popular votes of any president in America's history. Congratulations!

In your re-election, God has graciously granted America—though she doesn't deserve it—a reprieve from the agenda of paganism. You have been given a mandate. We the people expect your voice to be like the clear and certain sound of a trumpet. Because you seek the Lord daily, we who know the Lord will follow that kind of voice eagerly.

Don't equivocate. Put your agenda on the front burner and let it boil. You owe the liberals nothing. They despise you because they despise your Christ. Honor the Lord, and He will honor you.

Had your opponent won, I would have still given thanks, because the Bible says I must (I Thessalonians 5:18). It would have been hard, but because the Lord lifts up whom He will and pulls down whom He will, I would have done it. It is easy to rejoice today, because Christ has allowed you to be His servant in this nation for another presidential term. Undoubtedly, you will have opportunity to appoint many conservative judges and exercise forceful leadership with the Congress in passing legislation that is defined by biblical norm regarding the family, sexuality, sanctity of life, religious freedom, freedom of speech, and limited government. You have four years—a brief time only—to leave an imprint for righteousness upon this nation that brings with it the blessings of Almighty God.

Christ said, “If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my father honour” (John 12:26).

The student body, faculty, and staff at Bob Jones University commit ourselves to pray for you—that you would do right and honor the Savior. Pull out all the stops and make a difference. If you have weaklings around you who do not share your biblical values, shed yourself of them. Conservative Americans would love to see one president who doesn't care whether he is liked, but cares infinitely that he does right.

Best wishes.

Sincerely your friend,

Bob Jones III
President

BJIII:lw

PS: A few moments ago I read this letter to the students in Chapel. They applauded loudly their approval.

When I told them that Tom Daschle was no longer the minority leader of the Senate, they cheered again.

On occasion, Christians have not agreed with things you said during your first term. Nonetheless, we could not be more thankful that God has given you four more years to serve Him in the White House, never taking off your Christian faith and laying it aside as a man takes off a jacket, but living, speaking, and making decisions as one who knows the Bible to be eternally true.

6. Ever see Christ cluster bomb, napalm, daisy cut, bunker bust, machine
gun, bulldoze, Radiate, shock and awe or behave in other such similar ways that shrub has exhibited?? Didn't think so. Mr. Jones... your Christ is going to kick the asses of the people who are the architects of this insanity.... and yours as well for supporting such illegal, immoral, wasteful, misery that is being heaped upon Iraq. Hang your head in shame sir.

11. Actually, I believe my Christ despises *s Christ.
My Christ is the one and only Christ who turned the tables over on the moneychangers. He's the one who healed his enemies rather than allowing his followers to kill them.

14. Bob's "Christ" doesn't like 'negroes' dating white women.
These fuckers nail Jesus to the cross all over again every single day.
