One of the stupidest Theist statements ever |
I won't post a link for this article, since you have to sign up for the
web site. But there's an article in the Dallas Newspaper about Dubya
planning to visit a new Texas megachurch. Here's a little snippet from
the article, talking about the pastor there:
"Dr. Evans has worked with the president to promote government support
for faith-based initiatives. Mr. Bush has credited the Dallas pastor
with helping to inspire the idea of using federal dollars to fund
faith-based programs.
'It's one of the most important initiatives our country has ever had,'
Dr. Evans said. 'We do believe in a separation of church and state. We
don't believe in the separation of God and government.' "

Yeah, he probably got his "degree" from some place like Oral Roberts
(snicker) University, or that school Jerry Falwell started up in
Lynchburg...one of those Babtist Buy-Bull colleges...

Fundamentalist creationist Rev. Jesse Colson (New Scientist 19/8/82) views
on the fossil record.
"At the end of the Mesozoic, you begin to see evidence of a stunning moral
decline. Bones of wives and children all alone, with the philandering
husband's bones nowhere in sight. Heaps of fossilised unhatched, aborted
dinosaur eggs. Males and females of different species living together in
unnatural defiance of biblical law. Researchers have even excavated entire
orgies - hundreds of animals with their bones intertwined in lewd positions.
Immorality was rampant."
How's that for the idiotic quote of the last millennium.

Well it's the only quote I've found attributed to him. Considering it's
over twenty years old and he hasn't said much since, I dare say that even
the YEC are too embarrassed by his idiocy to give him a following...and
that's really saying something.

There seems to be more of a separation
of "God" and "Allah". Maybe Puppet George

his war against Moslems and leave our incomes
alone.

Bush Renews Faith-Based Initiative Push
Wed Oct 29,11:16 PM ET
Associated Press Writer
DALLAS - In a speech replete with references to "miracles" and a
"higher power bigger than people's problems," President Bush (news -
web sites) on Wednesday renewed his push to let religious groups
compete for government money.
"The best way to help the addict ... is to change their heart," Bush
said in a reference to how he stopped drinking at age 40. "See, if you
change their heart, then they change their behavior.
"I know!" Bush said, thrusting a finger into the air.
Bush spoke to a packed auditorium at the Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship
here where several hundred, mostly black, parishioners sang and swayed
to gospel music and chanted "U.S.A. U.S.A." when the president walked
in.
There to dedicate a new youth education center for Operation
Turnaround, a job, literacy and social services program, Bush called
for legislation that would give religious groups access to federal
funds as long as their services are available to anyone.
When Bush's faith-based initiative stalled in Congress, Bush began
sidestepping lawmakers with executive orders and regulations to give
religious organizations equal footing in competing for federal
contracts.
"We don't want the church to be the state and we don't want the state
to be the church," Bush said. "But the government should support the
good work of religious people who are changing America."
Opponents worry that government would wind up paying for religion.
"Bush's faith-based initiative would inevitably entangle government
with religion," said Barry Lynn, director of Americans United for
Separation of Church and State.
La Fayette Holland, the congregation's director of Project Turnaround,
said that while he agrees with the philosophy of Bush's faith-based
initiative, if the federal money came with restrictions that violated
the congregation's strategy of helping individuals from the "inside
out," it would likely decline it.
"We need to wait and see," Holland said. "So much of what we do is
based on a biblical program. We just don't want to help an individual
on this side of the Earth; we want to help them throughout all
eternity. On this campus, we will share our faith."
About 50 people lined the street in a south Dallas neighborhood where
Bush spoke to protest the war in Iraq (news - web sites), Bush's
stance on education and health care and what they said was his neglect
of the black community. One carried a sign that read: "Who would Jesus
bomb?"
Bush flew to Dallas after a White House event where he underscored his
support for a Medicare prescription drug benefit. He plans to stay to
stay at his ranch through the weekend, leaving from there to attend
events in four states.
On Thursday, Bush is to talk about energy and attend two fund-raisers
in Columbus, Ohio, and another money-raiser in San Antonio. On
Saturday, he is to make two stops in Mississippi and two in Kentucky
to support Republican gubernatorial candidates facing voters there
next Tuesday. Before returning to Washington on Monday, Bush stops in
Birmingham, Ala., to raise more money for his campaign.
