god, save me from your followers

I couldn't make this shit up (stolen from Atrios' Eschaton):

"Why is this man in the White House? The majority of Americans did not vote for him. Why is he there? And I tell you this morning that he’s in the White House because God put him there for a time such as this.”

Note: I KNOW that not all Christians are Fundamentalists, and I know that the majority of this country considers these types of views nutty at best. No, what disturbs me is that these crazies have far more politial and social influence than their numbers warrant.

I'd also like to point out that in framing the current war in religious terms, he really is helping the terrorists. Just what we need, fundie vs. fundie playing Armageddon with the rest of the world!

oh boy! or Satan put the Bush-man into the white house ;)) from an European point of view, this could only happen in the US. here the state has been separated from the church for a decade at least and to be honest had very little impact on politics. nutcases like this one would not even make it to military service.

b.t.w. have they ever succeeded in killing off an oponent? like generals in Korea or Castro at Cuba or Bin Laden or Saddam Hussein? nope. this man has to be sloppy too...;))

Legally, there IS separation of church and state - I meant what I said about fundamentalists being in the minority. However, they are very organized and very noisy, and so get a lot of press and influence.

And yes, the distinct lack of Bin Laden or Sadaam Hussien (or at least their bodies) has not gone unnoticed :(
