Why do christians support President bush when he gives them such a bad name?

It's all about the 3 G's, Guns, Gays, and God. The big question is have you heard the prez or for that matter the republicans say much about any of the 3 since the election?

Remember the bible predicted the coming of Bush - the Anti- Christ.  \n\nSo-callled Christians are suppose to hail him as a godly figure. And they ARE doing that as we speak.\n\nHe is suppose to be appealling to most people while being Satan in disguise.  Bush fits that bill.

Not necessarily.  I know of some Christians who are persecuted because they are jerks.  Then, when they complain, they use "it's because I'm a Christian" as their defense.

no. even though i am christian and a spiritual person, i strongly believe that faith-based issues should stay out of politics. that is one of the main reasons y Bush won the last election.....he got the support of the christian-right voters. now look what state our country is in.

If they tell the truth, it will be because of their own personal value system.   People who ARE Christians have sworn on the bible and then never upheld their oath.  Bush is a prime example.  \n\nThe oath to be taken by the president on first entering office is specified in Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution:\n\nI do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.\n\nHe has violated, eviscerated and stepped all over the Constitution....so he lied.  And he's a Christian!!!!!!

Most politicians in Christian countries try to do this because they think it makes them look good.  A bit like kissing babies.\n\nYou can have moral debate without mentioning religion at all.\n\nUsing Christian religion in politics is a huge mistake.  \n\nFirst off it alienates all the other religions in that country,  Jews, Muslims, Sikhs etc.\n\nSecondly it alienates not just other countries but whole religions.  Much of Americas problems with Muslims is that it is seen as Christianity hunting down Muslims and other religions.  A lot of the time when Bush talks about bringing democracy to other countries he sounds like he is saying Christianity to many people.\n\nWhere politicians are supposed to represent the people they are so biased to Christianity that it insults the vast majority.  Quite apart from the other religions many people are non believers.\n\nReligion should be kept well out of politics and if that could be achieved governments and presidents would be seen as more open and even handed and peace would be given a real chance.

One thing is for sure, George Bush thinks that god loves George Bush.  He's been using it as an excuse his entire presidency and it pisses me off.  You want proof lets go with this.  "God wanted me to be president" that's a quote by Bush himself. Hmmmm I really dint think that god would want a person that murders the innocent and tortures people to be president.  How does that commandment go again? Thou Shalt Not Kill.  sounds pretty clear that god doesn't like war to me.

In the USA the people are not puritan in their religious feelings and specially the Christians. Mostly they are Protestants and the American Catholics are unlike their British and Roman counterparts not that attached to the Pope at Rome. But both the Bush are at their personal level very loyal to the Pope. The Republican Party has nothing to do with this. Though on personal level while occupying such an important office Bush was helping lots of fund raising for the Pope for conversion by Missionaries operating in India. Now it may get affected from 2008 when Bush would be demitting office at White House. But it is a long way to go!

Because it is all a bunch a crap to make you think " Oh I better listen to someone else because my thoughts are wrong. People want to control other people why trying to scare them with bible writings .The bible and religion has caused much hatred And sins over the years and some people will kill you if you do not believe the Christian ways. Look what white man did to the American Indian. Look what it has caused people to become in other countries.What is important is that you live a clean life and take care of your family and be good to the earth and animals.Do you really think Bush is a God fearing man, " If he was he would not have sent people to the electric chair or sent our boys over seas to kill other people for oil. We have plenty of oil and need to find other ways for energy which in fact we have but the oil business is afraid to lose money.I wonder if any of the men that were sentenced to death were innocent.

unforunatly many people who claim to be "christrians" really dont have the love of God in their heart, and it puts a bad wrap on the rest of the christians. so thats why so many people dislike them.

I am a Bible believing Christian and live in Texas, but never supported the man, especially in his unjustified invasion of Iraq. I know that if it were not for church folks, team George W. Bush would never have gotten enough support to invade Iraq. Ironic, isn't it? Almost everyone saw the hypocrisy but church folks. As per religious, the man is - but being religious does not mean being a Christian just as being a republican does not mean being a Christian.

It's a sad thing that people call themselves Christians but do things that shame the name of Christ and His followers. Then because that one man did that horrible thing that makes all Christians go through the same trial and condemnation even the ones that honestly live their lives according to what Jesus commanded. Why are we being hated the most than the other religions in this world? All people are hypocrite in their own way because no one is perfect, only God is perfect. All humans fail not only Christians but you expect the most of us, to be holy and just shrug our shoulders, and get over even when we are being pushed on and rediculed at. A true Christian would do everything to be a good witness for others but even though we live a quiet life people still has so many things to say about us especially the ones that doesn't even know us. I don't think the man in that story is a Christian at all, just the label but not in the heart.\nGeneralization is mean and a crime towards conduct.

The anti-Christ will NEVER call himself a Christian, not will he claim Jesus Christ as his Saviour. President Bush does. \n\nThe anti-Christ does everything opposite of Jesus Christ and seeks to destroy all those that love the Him. President Bush supports Christianity and loves the true Christ.\n\nMy advice to you is to study the Bible, watch the History channel, and read up on your president. Then you would not ask this type  of question and reveal your lack of knowledge in both of these areas.

the christians i know either could care less about the bible [most of them] or they're intensely conservative, in every way.\n\nthey tend to counter the argument that they should help the poor with an angry proclamation that they are called to be good stewards of their finances.
