Yes he has!!!\n\nBush as successfully bypassed Congress over 800 times using what is called executive orders...\n\nSome of those executive orders were for his Faith-Based Initiative programs that clearing violate separation of church and state; therefore, are unconstitutional. The fact that they were unconstitutional in itself constitutes 'too much religion' interwoven in the government.\n\nIE, HR 921 moved the Faith-Based Initiative headquarters within the Homeland Security department. What does that tell you? It tells me that defending against terrorism has something to do with Christianity.\n\nThe only reason no politician has challenged these is because of politics... painting them as anti-religious.

It depends on how many people go to the church.

Bushy is no Christian.  Bushy is the diabolical reincarnation of the devil.  He is still in disiguise until he takes full military control of the country.  Anything he says about Christianity should not be taken at face value.\n\nAgain and again, George W. Bush has challenged the people of America and the world to choose between principle and following his tempting lead.\n\nHe makes plain that he will do horrible, amoral things, such as roll back environmental regulations, which will - according to reports by people called scientists by most, evil intellectuals by George W. Bush - cause 18,000 people a year to die prematurely. In return, he promised to put some money in people’s pockets via tax cuts.\n\nLead me not into temptation, but deliver me from evil.\n\nGeorge W. Bush made clear he wanted us to go without our allies into Iraq – even if he occasionally lied and said otherwise. He never hid the fact that he wanted the booty of oil and rebuilding contracts all to himself – and for those who were willing to follow him. Yes, more Americans would lose their lives if we went in without our allies. Yes, there was a greater risk of the mission being unsuccessful. Yes, the grounds for undertaking the mission were tenuous at best to begin with. But he promised the mission would be easy money, people giving us flowers and the second largest oil reserves on the planet. And so people supported his alliance-destroying hatred and arrogance.\n\nLead me not into temptation, but deliver me from evil.\n\nGeorge W. Bush sent out a call to the leaders of the world: either you are with me or you are against me. I am undertaking a mission you are being told is unjustified by those who are best in position to know – the UN weapons inspectors – he told the world’s leaders plainly. I am going to undertake this mission, regardless of what facts and evidence tell me, and anyone who comes along will get to share the booty; anyone who does not will miss out on millions and millions of dollars. Give me your sons lives, he told the world’s leaders, ignore the will of your people, and I will give your wealth beyond your wildest dreams and fame and popularity like you never imagined. Most leaders stood strong against the siren song, some did not.\n\nLead me not into temptation, but deliver me from evil.\n\nGeorge W. Bush had already depleted the nation’s coffers, having promised to line the pockets of those who had followed him with hordes of cash and bounteous jobs. The hordes and jobs never came. Then, he said to the people again, I will rob the coffers a second time. Support me, and I will line your pockets – I will give you $400 a head for your young ones. Let me line the pockets of the rich once again, leaving the nation in bankrupted tatters, and I will give your real wealth this time – not like the lies and empty promises I gave you before. Follow me into this temptation just one more time, and you will see. Empty the nation’s coffers with me, and I will make you rich. And again people gave their support to George W. Bush.\n\nI could keep rambling on and on but I think you get the point.

People will say no, but I defy you to find anywhere in the Constitution that separates church and state.  The constitution gives you FREEDOM of religion instead of where they came from (England) where the government ran the Church of England.  They did not want that situation, so they said in the Constitution that the government won't set up a church.\n\nI am a teacher, and I talk about religion whenever it is part of my lesson.  I cannot teach about Bach, the most important composer in regards to our system of harmony, without talking about his church work.

Only if you think worshipping God is hard work. Compared to my job, attending Church is a reward, not a requirement.

This is a fair question to ask. If Bush bases his personal integrity around his religious beliefs, then acting in a duplicitous way casts both him and his beliefs in a very negative light. This then becomes a political issue.\n\nBut, does anyone seriously believe Bush?

I think that's a pertinent question for some brave reporter to ask King George in the next press conference.  He can refer back to GW's earlier quotes:\n\n"I feel like God wants me to run for President. I can't explain it, but I sense my country is going to need me. Something is going to happen... I know it won't be easy on me or my family, but God wants me to do it."\n--George W. Bush commenting to Texas evangelist James Robinson in the run-up to his presidential campaign \n\n"God told me to strike at al Qaeda and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam [Hussein], which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them."\n--Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Abu Mazen quoting Bush when they met in Aqaba; reported in The Haaretz Reporter by Arnon Regular\n\n"I don't think that witchcraft is a religion. I wish the military would rethink this decision." - to ABC NEWS, June 1999, regarding Ft. Hood's decision to allow Wiccan rituals \n\nI think people attack me because they are fearful that I will then say that you're not equally as patriotic if you're not a religious person. ... I've never said that. I've never acted like that. I think that's just the way it is. (Washington Times, 12 January 2005) \n\nI trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn't do my job. \nreportedly said to a group of Old Order Amish as published by the Lancaster New Era, July 16, 2004. [89]

I don't think there are many real Christians in this country. They call themselves Christians, but they want an eye for an eye. That is distinctly un-Christian. Real Christians can only be appalled at Bush's actions and policies, and any real conservative likewise. This is a President who is surrounded by people who want an absolute ruler, answerable to no one.

This last series of questions are ones that I assume you have picked up from sermons of other Baptist preachers.\n\nUsually, when this type of question is asked in a sermon, it is purely rhetorical.\n\nSide note; Paul would say it is a run, not a walk.   ("I have run the good race...")

No as it is a personal choice to take time off from work to go to church. You would only get paid if you are going on your lunch and normally get paid lunch. You could check into using personal time if that is offered where you work and you could get paid from that then.

Nah not really. Preachers you have to remember are not held to any particular standard. What I mean to say is when they preach it is there perception and interpretation and does not make it so. Form your own opinion and they can keep theirs to themselves. When you go into the voting booth they will not know who you voted for anyway unless you tell them and quite frankly that is none of there damn business. As far as a separation of church and state, well that may be one preacher you want to separate from if he/she is attempting to influence your voting decision. Keep in mind one thing though. If you go to church regularly and heed and believe and listen to and follow your preachers teachings then you will most likely vote as they would have anyway. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Remember that!!

That's a good question.  I couldn't find the answer online.  My advice is to either visit another church and ask them or visit a nearby government building (state capitol, city hall...) and ask them.  Somebody should know.

ABSOLUTELY!!! There is a place for other people to preach & teach religion, its called Church. \nWatch out for her, shes probably a cult leader.\nGot 2 words for you Jim Jones!  He taught religion to his neighbors & look what happened.  If you don't know who he is do a yahoo search on Jim Jones & you can also do Jonestown (probably be a better search).
