I was brought up as a christian as well Grun, up to the point were I did my confirmation. (I had a broken rib and that mo******er forced me to sing.). I never 'believed' though,  these were my parent's choices.

My own choices are different (can you tell?). I have no problem with anyone believing in a god per-se... I have problems with the behaviour people have regarding it, and using it as an excuse. Be it the priests in small villages round here that extort money from families who's children can't aford shoes, or the mullahs that send children to war on a "holy path".

Same thing here, altar boy and all. Then in my teens I went like you did but now now I'm seeing it has some value maybe.

Gee, just as the framers of the constitution, W believes in the Creator...God.    He didn't say which God......believe as you wish.  He didn't even say you should believe.

He said he believes the president should have beliefs (Forgive the paraphrase).

Frankly, no more than I am threatened by the references to the Creator in our most hallowed documents, and no more than I am threatened by the  use of the Bible in inaugurations, am I threatened by a believing president.

God bless George Bush, the other leaders of our country, and the troops in harm's way.
