LOL... author reckons * has read the Bible TWELVE TIMES!!!

[rooboy]

Some idiot on Hannity and Colmes who has written a book called "God and George W Bush". Also reckons that * does a devotional or whatever every day.

What a PILE OF CRAP!!!

[lastknowngood]

1. Hell I did that before I was 12 years old. That boy don't know

sh*t.

[KamaAina]

2. He couldn't even get through the verse that reads "Jesus wept"

the shortest of all.

[opihimoimoi]

7. Bush cannot tell you how many stones David had when he met Goliath

5 is the correct answer....

[AntiCoup2K4]

21. And when he DID read that one, he probably said...

"Geez, what a liberal pussy that guy is!" :eyes:

[olddem43]

3. Actually Bush worships two gods -

Money and Power.

[kikiek]

4. Please he can't maintain the attention needed to read a PDB much less the

bible.

[GreenArrow]

5. and understood it zero

.

[jeff30997]

6. In fact he's actually reading...

The Bible for Dummies. :)

[NoPasaran]

8. Too bad it's over his head n/t

[guajira]

9. Look up author "Martos"

He was on O'Really with his book about B* and religion. He says B* is not really religious!!!

Totally pissed off Kasich, who was filling in for O'Really.

[SOS]

10. It takes three years to read

the Bible, one chapter a day.
To read the Bible 12 times at that rate would take 36 years.
They really do just make this stuff up, don't they?

[noahmijo]

11. That's 12 more times than he read the "Bin Laden Determined to Strike"

report.

[wellstone_democrat]

22. Now...that is a classic line

I'm stealing it.

[reprehensor]

12. No, he meant, LIBEL, not BIBLE...

Silly rabbit.

It's funny how W seems to not understand the NEW TESTAMENT very well considering his awesome familiarity with the bible.

Oh, he meant the 'Scofield Bible'. Now it makes sense.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. Just proves his reading skills are pretty weak

because it's apparent that not much of it ever sunk in.

[pschoeb]

14. He means those children's picture Bibles

you sometimes find at dentist and doctors waiting rooms.

[mitchum]

15. Maybe Bush has read 12 Chick tracts...

if Pickles helps him with the big words

[progressivebydesign]

16. Total BULL!

If anyone can recall life before 9/11, Bush was criticized for his daily schedule, and it went as follows:

Wake up.
Eat.
Work out
Eat.
Play video games.
Nap.
Meeting or two.
Dinner
Bed.

He did NOT read the bible every day.. he freakin' played video games and worked out.. Rove and his minions decided that Bush would be more popular, after 9/11, if he played the religion card. He's a fake. No one, said to be that religious, would do and say the things he has.

[allalone]

17. he can't read!

I vote for the "picture stories of the bible" as what he "read".
Hi Caliphoto. Mom

[LiberalBushFan]

35. He really played video games?

There's a site that bought him a PS2 before the war with the following letter. Unfortunately their campaign didn't work.

Dear Mr. President:
I represent a small consortium of voters who are deeply concerned over your proposed {or, if appropriate, ongoing} military action in Iraq. Given the amount of public speech and political rhetoric you have devoted to this issue in past months, it seems to us as though you are more interested in playing commando than in fighting an actual war with actual human casualties.

Enclosed with this letter, we have sent you some small gifts: one PlayStation 2 game console, one copy each of SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs and Conflict: Desert Storm, a memory card and an extra controller for Mr. Cheney's use. We ask that you accept these gifts and use them, rather than the lives of Iraqi civilians and our U.S. servicemen, to fulfill any militaristic fantasies.

Respectfully,

Mikel Reparaz
Chairman
Buy Bush a PlayStation 2 Campaign

[seg4527]

18. I read the bible in 2 months when I was 17

But I guess I am smarter than Bush.

[sandnsea]

19. Read the Constitution: 0 times

Who cares if he read the Bible. Does he understand the document the country is founded on, that's what I want to know.

[kodi]

20. we're talking the Classic Comics version right.

i do not believe that george bush is a religious man nor one who follows any creed but mammon

[regnaD kciN]

23. Well, I've read it twice...

...but at least I retained some of it!

[goclark]

24. He doesn't read , period,end of story

He has severe learning disabilities.

Has any reporter ever really challenged him on his so called knowledge of the bible?

Anyone who hides behind the Lord like he does should be honest with the American people. He is not honest.

Not only does he not read,he can't remember anything unless his ear plug is up high.

The Bible Scholars that I know have vivid recall and can speak with ease on any verse at any time. They can paint a picture of John the Baptist as if John was a dear uncle.

The Chimp can not even recall the name of the prison in Iraq!

[allalone]

26. you're right

he keeps giving bogus references.

[allalone]

25. which version do you suppose?

eom

[0rganism]

27. New Testament, maybe

A lot of folks find the New Testament inspiring, especially Christians, and it's fairly short and to-the-point. Some would say it's the important part anyway.

Old Testament? Hell, you'd have to pay me to read all of it more than twice, and I grew up Jewish! The creation story alone (both of them) is enough to make me want to rip my eyes out, because so many people believe it happened just like that. Then we get the begats, which I could care less about, and the vengeful-yet-loving god smashing cities and turning people into salt like an omnipotent 3-year-old, the ludicrous flood story, Abraham plotting to murder his kid because "the voice of God spoke unto him" (dumbest reason to do anything IMHO), plagues of locusts and frogs, and the Great Leader making the Israelites wander around in the desert for 40 years. WTF? It's not all that big a place, you could probably make it to somewhere pretty nice and settle down if you just walked in one direction for even 10 years, but I guess Moses had 'em going in circles. Even Odysseus didn't have it that bad when Poseidon got all pissed at him, Yahweh must really have it in for his Chosen People.

Some of the genocidal behavior of the various tribal societies is somewhat interesting to me, in a clinical "evaluate the cultural psychosis" kind of way, but damn... what a bunch of fruitcakes! And religious leaders want to claim that the Bible is a foundation for morality? Give me a freakin' break! Anyone who looks to those guys for positive ethical role models is going to end up beating his wife because the Good Lord told him to do it.

And of course we have the funniest sections of all, the ones where Moses gets really bored and starts making up laws. Naturally everyone takes him very seriously, because he's so awesome at leading that they've only had to fart around in a hostile wasteland for a generation or two. So every morning he comes out of the tent and tells them the most absurd crap, and they make a lifestyle out of it.

Moses was the Martha Stewart of antiquity, mixed with a bit of Freddy Kruger and Joseph Stalin. Wish they'd broken the mold...

Every once in a while, something interesting happens, like a wacky sexual encounter coming out of the blue in the middle of a psalm, but it's about 99% droll self-righteous racist propaganda. If I had to read it 12 times, I'd probably take a drill to my brain just to let the bullshit out.

[rlev1223]

28. LATimes printed my letter

about Bush's "Bible in the morning, bombs in the afternoon"
religion.

Basically said that Americans increasingly confuse being devout with being right.

[Tight_rope]

29. This is a crook of bullshit...moving along...nothing to "READ" here.

[Piperay]

30. So what, I have read it

several times too when I attended Lutheran Day School. I don't see anything so special about reading the bible :shrug: living by some of the teachings in it (like doing unto others)is what would be impressive.

[Gore1FL]

31. 12 times my ass

he thought about reading the cliff notes twice.

[goclark]

32. It was just a thought

that swiftly never reached the decision making stage.

That said, I really don't think thatreading the Bible makes you a good Christian. To be a good Christian, you need to act like one.

Let's start with " Do unto others.."

Let's stop right there with GW

[skygazer]

33. That's not a Bible

It's "My Pet Goat" and he's still struggling through to see how it ends.

[Gore1FL]

36. In the Beginning there was a pet goat

and it was good.

[EST]

37. Wanna know what Moses REALLY said to the burning bush?

[allalone]

39. OMG is that you?

and the burning bush said WHY, YES IT IS.

[EST]

40. Nope, sorry

What Moses really said was "Now wait a minute, let me get this straight, We are YOUR chosen people and you want us to cut off the tips of our WHAT?!!

[allalone]

41. aaaarrrgghhh

[Caution]

34. I'm an atheist, half Bush's age and I've read it more often than that

Is this supposed to be proof of Bush's faith or something?
