Never said there was. :doh The problem arises when the leader of our nation chooses to wage war against an independent sovereign nation based on "God told me to."
Its amazing you bitch about people "believing about the mythical man in the sky" and then you type out idiotic **** like that from a man who is a known antagonist to the individual in question and disagreed with the mans actions that is completely and utterly unverified but naturally because it suits your agenda of hatred for religion and hatred for George Bush obviously it must be unquestionably true.
:roll:
Dear Everybody, Including the President: Please do believe anything you wish; adhere to any faith, belief, religion, or philosophy you wish, none of it means diddly to me. I don't give a crap if you worship dung beetles and dance nekkid under the moonlight to appease Zeus in your own private world, but when a government official attempts to use his/her faith, belief, religion, or philosophy as an acceptable or legitimate justification for needlessly sending thousands to their deaths in a war of choice, I've got a BIG problem with that.
I agree. Can we also agree that people Presiden'ts shouldn't use their faith, belief, religion, or philosophy to order an orgy break out over the entire US? Oh, oh, oh, how about they can't use their faith, belief, religion, or philosophy as justification for ****ting upon the head of the secretary of state. Oh, I know...how about they can't use it to justify a reach around with a spider monkey.
I mean, since we're throwing out ridiculous situations that are adverse to actual logical fact and are based on nothing but one questionable accusation and personal bias without any care for the plethora of fact surrounding various reasons for the action might as well make it fun, right?
Here's a little truth test for you; let's see how honest you really are:
If Obama had said out loud, in front of an audience, "God speaks through me" you (and Fluffy Ninja and anyone else who gives Bush a pass on this) would be having coronaries over it.
Please, PLEASE try to deny that one. :roll:
Well that's simple, if Obama simply said:
"God speaks through me" I'd probably raise an eye brow and think "WTF, that's a bit crazy" and likely be wary of him
If he said
"I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn't do my job." to a bunch of Amish people
Then I'd say he's either putting on an act (since there's no history of him being deeply religious). However, assuming lets say there WAS such a history, I'd likely think he's a deeply religious person that believes that we are subject to gods will and divine grace and that through following the tenets of the bible that we are doing gods work, thus him "speaking through" that person. I'd probably chuckle a bit at the surprise that Obama is more deeply religious then I thought, and then ignore it because it'd be a case of a deeply religious person speaking in religious terms to a bunch of even more deeply religious people in a way that makes sense to them.
This is akin to someone that say, plays World of Warcraft, talking to a bunch of people who don't play going "Yeah, I play world of warcraft, its a neat game where I run around killing monsters and getting stronger" while talking to a bunch of other WOW players going "Yeah I pwn at WOW, I've got a leet Ele Shammy on A52 pumping out 5k dps when I'm pwning LDW in ICC for the uber loots." The later sentence would make little sense to people who are not heavily within that culture but its meaning is fully understandable to those that are in it. That person would likely not say such a sentence to others outside of that culture because they'd likely look at him like he's a loon speaking greek.
But its amazing what giving FULL SENTENCES and CONTEXT can do to make a situation look different. Though, not surprising, of course you didn't bother with that because then it wouldn't make your obviously biased attempt at going "OMG CRAZY RELIGIOUS PERSON!" work nearly as well.
