George W. Bush: Crappy Christian

How can Christians support George W. Bush?
What Christ like thing has he done?
When he talks about god, it is an Old Testament god he invokes. Not the New Testament God of love and understanding. The God who loves us like a father loves his children. The God Jesus talks about doesn't seek revenge, lie, kill, and steal from the poor to give to the rich.

I'd like to hear Christians support what George Bush does without evoking the Old Testament. I'd like them to pull quotes from the bible that were not put there by the early church trying to win converts. No fair using Paul quotes either. Where do we see George Bush as a Christian in the story of the Good Samaritan? The prodigal son? The Sermon on the Mount?

That Christians support him shows me just how far off the Christian faith has come from what Jesus teaches. Frankly, I can not see how Bush could ever call for the death of a single human and still call himself a real Christian.

He is a Christian in only the hollowest way, never really following the teaching of Christ, just using accepting Christ as his personal savior as his Get out of Hell free card. A gift with no obligations, like all the other gifts he has received all his life.

Christ asked his followers to do radical stuff. And those acts don't involve killing innocents, or even killing your enemy. How dare he call himself a Christian! He is the blood-thirsty Roman Emperor calling for the death of his enemy simply to please his court and satify his feeling of weakness.
