Bush talks to God.

[bipper]

I ain't laughing in the least. I think its funny how so many people, who obviously know so little about a religion, or the new testement, get such a joy out of bashing it. This joke makes me wonder of you had even read the OT and the NT while applying even an once of thought :rolleyes2

revelations derived from the writer's visions (some way of justifying the story if it hasn't occured yet).

Revelations was writend by John, while he was on his exile on the island of Patmos. The Revelation 1:1 makes it clear that God had sent an angel to his servent John. The whole thing is really not as rediculous as some people make it sound. Actually, it is quite relivent to modern life. Of course, talking to God has been brought up across time. Seeing how, as faith suggests it, GOD is the highest power = it is only obvious that those who wanted people to belive they had ultimate power, would say they have God on thier side. This is dubbed as using God's name in vain.

If you look at the state of the (possible) decline(?) of our world, you may see some good points made in revelations. These points may seem obvious to us now, but to an aged man exiled on an island, these concepts were prolly not somthing that he thought much aboutm nor could really contemplate. It has a lot to do with the easy fact that when you see somthing happen, the cause could make sence to you; To forcast a cause and effect is a lot more difficult.

G to google, type in failure and hit "i'm feeling lucky"

Pretty funny.

This is where I get all screwed up. The holy spirit is responsible for moving people; granted that the holy spirit IS part of the divine trinity, it is not propriatory to the Pope. It says this all over the Bible, and the Catholic religion does recognise this. They also recognise not to worship false gods, and yet they pray to saints. It all worries me.

As far as God speaking to Bush, I would believe it; as bringing peace to the middle east is a stepping stone for revelations. Prehaps this is what Bush is gunning for in all of this. /sigh

personally, I think God speaks to everyone, in some form or another. Regardless, I seriously doubt Bush is a man of God. He puts people of attrocious reputations in office, people with little political experience, and people who are just plain Shady. I will be glad when 2008 comes.

Though, my theory of the Pope is that he is the walking marionette of God. God sits in heaven with strings attached to the PoPe. It's wonderful.

I'm gonna use this "god told me so" excuse more often since it's, somehow, working for Bush.

[Gilgamesh of Legends]

You know, if god really said something to him there would be no reason for him to tell us. I mean as it is it appears he is using it as an excuse. And also isn't his approval down to 37% now? oh wow, that is low.

Can you say in-house impeachment when it drops below 25%

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
