    A Disgusting Display of God during the Bush Library Dedication!

    5 Presidents of the US, who represent even the non-believers of this country, were acknowledging and requesting God's blessing on this country!

    And the U.S. Army Band & Chorus (we pay their salaries as tax payers, you know) playing & singing a song..what was it?....thee Battle Hymn of the Republic"...??....with the lines"

    "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:
    ......
    His truth is marching on
    ......

    In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
    With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
    As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
    While God is marching on. "


    Pretty disgusting, huh? Hope the unbelievers covered their ears...

    1- The timing was impeccable.....just as Rush was interviewing Dubya and commeting on that. So thanks for outing yourself as a ditto-head.

    2- You think God approved of 4000+ of his American children, not to mention 10s of 1000s of his Iraqi children.....dying for non-existant WMDs so a loser nepotist could strut around as a "war-time President" in a flight suit?

    1. Sorry to disappoint..but I havnt watched Rush since the Iraq invasion over 10 yrs ago...so he either stole my 'material,' or the irony of the situation was overwhelming to all observing the ceremony.

    2. Dont think God 'rejoiced' when Saddam used WMD's on the Kurds prior to our coming in and freeing them...

    A non-official event, including 5 current and former Presidents, all of whom are Christians....

    As an atheist I don't have a problem with that- why do you?

    Did they die for non existent WMDs or existing oil? Either way, I'm not so sure God would approve. We made things worse for Christians living in Iraq as well.

    Think what a fix we are in, in the tropics, half way between.
    Everything has to be stored on its side.

    Looking at this upside down map made me wonder for the first time why the Brits would bother going so far just to dump off the scum of their society.

    What a stupid thread. Who cares what atheists think about the music? Are you one of those people that laugh every time an atheist says god bless you after someone sneezes?

    I don't know about OverDrive, but I have a problem with that because I'm a pacifist Christian. Thus whenever G.W. Bush and Co. mention God it gives me the creeps and a slight desire to vomit. "False prophets" and all that.

    Did God rejoice when the USA supplied Saddam Hussein with the very chemical weapons he massacred the Kurdish population with?

    As a Christian pacifist would you fight or kill to save your life or the lives of your family? Or would you stand firm on you beliefs and allow others to kill you or your family. And...the thought of a "Christian Pacifist" as President and responsible for the security of this country makes me a little ill.

    No. I don't. And if you took the Bible seriously you would see that is truth--truth in human nature, evil, the past and future. Only Jesus will bring the lambs and the Lions to peace. There will be a time when Satan's evil will be put away and peace can occur. Until then, there is a time for war, a time for peace. A time to protect your family from murderers. And a time to back off and move to another well.

Georgie said god TOLD him to go slaughter people in a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 but to make it appear to look like it did because the invasion of Iraq was planned for in 1997....Yup, Georgie said even though George Senior was even against the war Georgie Jr. said he had a different 'father" tell him to GO! Slaughter!.....Hey, I'm not making that up..there's proof on tape of him saying that....

    The evidence explains clearly that Single Mothers will be poor, and in fact, are encouraged by the Welfare System to maintain a low enough income to qualify for benefits.

    The fact is that sexual promiscuity promotes adolescent pregnancies and fatherless kids who drop out of school and enter into crime and the cycle of pregnancy/poverty/welfare into the next generations.


    Poverty
    - Children in father-absent homes are five times more likely to be poor. In
2002, 7.8% of children in married-couple families were living in poverty,
compared to 38.4% of children in female-householder families.
    Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Children's Living Arrangements and Characteristics: March
2002, P20-547, Table C8. Washington, D.C.: GPO 2003.

    - In 1996, young children living with unmarried mothers were five times
as likely to be poor and ten times as likely to be extremely poor.
    Source: "One in Four: America's Youngest Poor." National Center for children in Poverty. 1996.

    - Almost 75% of American children living in single-parent families will
experience poverty before they turn 11 years old. Only 20 percent of
children in two-parent families will do the same.

on America's Children and their Families. Washington, DC, 1993.
