Reply #25: ???? I don't see this at all.

I don't see anyone using religion as physical evidence here. I don't see anyone saying Christ, Mohammed, or any other prophet had anything to do with 9/11, other than the fervent belief by suicide bombers that their sacrifice in taking war to "infidels" will cause Allah to smile on them.

I see a linked thread discussing LIHOP/MIHOP, and offering some possible evidence to strenthen these theories. That would be worldly power at work.

I see the author of this thread recognizing that a good chunk of the support for GWB comes from Christians; some because of his positions on gay rights and abortion, and some because they think he is sent by God to rule America. He has said, "God instructed me to strike Saddam."

There is obviously a religious tone to the terrorist attacks, and to GWBs administration. The author of this thread is pointing out, if I read the intent correctly, that GWB is not "Christian" in deed, and that the policies of this administration contradict Christ's message.

The suggestion is a letter campaign to point this out to the faithful; some will not be moved from their worship of Bush as God's messenger, but some who truly practice their faith can see the contradictions. If Bush is no longer getting support from the pulpit, if their leaders are questioning, then they may feel more comfortable questioning him as well. While politics do not belong in the church or the temple, imo, the fact is that many Sunday sermons are as much political as they are spiritual messages. The right has used the pulpit to further their agenda for decades, if my memory is accurate.

The point is to take that vehicle back from them.

And below, you belittled someone who popped in to support the effort, and who pointed out her own efforts to you. Her efforts to support causes and groups working to wrest America back from the precipice we find ourselves on.

I personally appreciate all efforts to defeat Bush in November.
