Funny how Bush can’t be charitable or moral without involving religion somehow. F’rinstance, he’s making sure that religious charities are getting more Federal money. Shouldn’t all charities, faith-based or otherwise, get an equal shot? I don’t recall Jesus saying “Help the poor…and help them even more if they believe in Me.” No, that wouldn’t be very Savior-like. That would be very…un-Christian. And yet here’s our fearless monkey President and his administration showing us that it’s not good enough to help the poor–you must help the poor in the name of their religion. As if it will earn you special bonus points in Heaven or something (assuming you get there).
American government is supposed to be secular. If you ask the Christian god for help in leading a group of people who are not all Christian, that makes you a bad leader.
