Gunslinger - I don't hate Bush. I don't want him as president. I don't want Kerry either. I think our choices, primary, secondary and tertiary, for who is going to lead our country are piss poor at the least.
If you study the Bible, you will realise that the majority of it is written in a langauge (interpreted a hundred, if not thousand, times) and context THEY understood. A smooth talker does not necessarily eqaute to what we think a smooth talker would present himself as.
The world war, well - we are in one right now. Terrorism knows now borders. For earthquakes and etc, it's not been defined if they are natural or man made. It's supposed to only be a short time period of tribulation, as in less than ten years... so who knows.
Arlo - That, again, comes down to interpretation. I didn't say it was limited to speeches, it was stating the will of God - which Bush has done and yes, he has said it. I watched the speeches, not the State of the Union, and he did indeed say he was doing God's will.
That's my observation and does NOT mean I am stating he is the anti-christ, I just offered up a dumbfoundedness as to why any Catholic or Christian person would support someone that claims to be working for God. He's no Monk or Priest.
