I was appalled that W lectured the Chinese on religion. Imagine what would happen
if a Chinese President visited our country, addressed
the President and Congress and suggested they
were immoral if they were not religious. Not everyone is attached to religion.

W should keep his religious convictions to himself. He reminds me of a group that
called themselves the Holly Rollers. They would pitch a tent in a small community
for a 72 hour marathon where they screamed, yelled and sang. The purpose
was to convince each other and the community that they were superior to those
who didn't share similar beliefs.

W told the Chinese:

"Faith points to a moral law beyond man's law and calls us
to duties higher than material gain," Mr. Bush said.
"Freedom of religion is not something to be feared, but it's
to be welcomed, because faith gives us a moral core and
teaches us to hold ourselves to high standards, to love and
to serve others and to live responsible lives."

TP, W says there are duties higher than material gain. It is difficult to believe he means it.. Look at
Poppy Bush's money grubbing tactics with The Carlyle Group. W has plenty
of skeltons in his closet for sure. Look at his tight connection with Enron, for instance. And
his intent on the destruction of the environment for material gain of his financial supporters.
