<<<<The problem is it didn't happen>>>>>> You can't say that with any more certainty than I can that he did react to God talking to him! AND BTW, I agree it never happened. I'm certain of that. But I also think he may believe God was talking to him. <<<<<. Further, it's based on the idea that religious people go around acting like psychos driven by invisible voices.>>>>>> Oh gosh! Nothing could be further from the truth. Why do you have to lump all religious people in one basket? I sure don't. AND I think most - please read MOST here - Christians are some of the very best examples of what we should all strive to be. BUT, I'm not blinded by religion to such an extreme that I can realize there can be dangerous zealots amongst Christians. I also believe there are many people who use their religion as a crutch to lean on because of their weaknesses. And in the case of Bush, I think he used it as an excuse for what he did. Maybe I would have too if I'd been in his position and made the decision he did. He has to live with his decision - it would be much easier to live with if he thought God was on his side in the decision.
