7. In my opinion,
the only problem I see with Bush and Christianity. Bush has not practiced it, in it's true meaning. Bush justifies whatever he does as being Christ-like but his words and deeds do not match. A great example of what I mean and if I recall; there is in the book of James a brother and sister in need of food and clothing, a man for sake of argument I will call "Bush Conservative", comes up to them and sees their plight. Says to them, "Let us pray". Afterwards, he goes away, but the brother and sister are still in need of food and clothing. Another man approaches, I will call "Liberal" comes up to them and sees their need, and takes them and gets them clothes and then feeds them. Then he says to them, "let us pray" and then goes away. Now which man practices the truer meaning of loving thy brother/sister as thyself? Which man practices words and deeds? When we as liberals have the chance to call them on their hypocrisey then we should. Prayer without faith does not work, as prayer without works and deeds either. " Thou shalt love the L-rd thy G-d with all thy heart and with all thy soul, (DO NOT PAUSE) and the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself"
