Well I guess so. However, this country is also great because you have me to teach you.;)

This country is great because of your profound humility.

We always say were the best country on earth. I was thinking the other day just what makes us a great country. Is it our military strength? Our educational system? Our technology? The character of our citizens? Our Constitution? Our willingness to bear the burden as the worlds policeman in concert with the UN? Our willingness to aid country's that have suffered natural (or man-made) disasters? What do you think makes us a great nation?
It is only God who makes a nation great. And a people who follow their God.

There is only one God, and they weren't Allah or Buddha.

Try telling that to all of the Muslims in the world. And the Buddhists. and the Hindus, Chinease Traditionalists, Primals, Idigenous's, Sikhism's, Yoruba's, Juche's, and Scientologists.:lol:

We need men like George Bush who will take a stand for God.

I believe that I just did, if any are reading. Someone's got to proclaim the truth.
 
And you know what the truth is? Would you mind sharing that with the rest of us?

Certainly. Truth is in Jesus. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Thanks so much for asking.

O, sorry to burst your little "divine" bubble, but not everyone puts stock in a book written by ancient transcribers.:lol:

Every nation in the world has gone to war claiming god is on our side, what, pray tell, makes George W Bush any different?

The truth? I am reading, and all I heard from you is blind postulations.:lol:

It might not be biblical, but it is spiritual. I don't put any stock in this religious "my dad can beat your dad" arguement.

O god here we go again. How many times do I have to tell you that you cant impose on someones beleifs? And to God is Holy you cant impose your religion or beleifs on people because that will not get you very far in the spectrum of debate. However, if you want a religious discussion please go to the proper place for that.

Ummm......... are you serious?

You do know there is a religious philosophy section on the forum right?

I thought you meant a more physical place like the Vatican or possibly one of the levels of Dante's hell or maybe a religious place like Pershing Square in Los Angeles.

That's why we have so much crime in this nation.

George Bush is a man of God. We're not talking about Islam or Buddhism here.

Pr 14:34 ¶ Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a disgrace to any people.

Pr 29:18 ¶ Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained, But happy is he who keeps the law.

God is all-powerful. And true spirituality only comes from the one true God.

Uhh, nope. Unemployment is the source of despair for Americans, and especially the young. If everyone followed the stupid rules of the OT, we would be a barbaric society, allowing even more crime.

George Bush is a man of God. We're not talking about Islam or Buddhism here.

Yea ok. He falsly claims to be Christian.:2razz: If he was "holy", he would be leading this world to peace, instead of war.

What nonsense is this? These poetic babblings mean nothing. You're god is nothing but a damn murderer.

People are often lazy and don't wish to work, so many turn to crime instead.

Untrue. Stricter laws in the Old Testament circumvented crime before it began.

Yea ok. He falsly claims to be Christian.:2razz:
Now you're judging his soul. How would you know who's a true Christian or not, if you have not aquainted yourself with the teachings of Christ?

If he was "holy", he would be leading this world to peace, instead of war.
God ordains war to deal with sin.

1 Chronicles 5
22 For many fell slain, because the war was of God. And they settled in their place until the exile.
(NAS95)

What nonsense is this? These poetic babblings mean nothing. You're god is nothing but a damn murderer.
You're obviously resistant to the truth of the bible. And you're judgmental as well, which means that you haven't learned the teachings of Christ. You're judging God.

Again, the words of Jesus, which you blatantly disregard, although you accuse others of not being a true Christian:

Matthew 7
1 "Do not judge so that you will not be judged.
(NAS95)

John 8
16 "But even if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me.
(NAS95)
 
The truth is that when you start to mix politics with fundamentalist religious thought, you are fooling around with a very volatile mixture that tends to blow up in one's face.
