I thought Christians were not supposed to be false witnesses?

towatson brought this article to my attention.

In the article, a group of alleged Christians is trying to use religion to criticize President Bush for bringing religion into politics. Um...yeah.

Part of their complaint reads:
Your deeds, Mr. President - neglecting the needy to coddle the rich, desecrating the environment, and misleading the country into

As a Christian these people make me ill... and then they'll whine that Christians have been given a "bad name" of late.

I agree with you on that.

As a Wiccan thies people make me sick.
They are impossing Wiccan values on Christanity.

However the hammer man is right he hasn't done any of this.

Destorying the environment is a violation of Wiccan ethics. Bush hasn't done this but even if he had it would only be desicration to pagans not to christians.

On Wiccan ethics. "Harm None"

Lying is harm in Wiccan ethics.
Making false accuastions is harm in Wiccan ethics.
Impossing Wiccan ethics on other religions is contradicting the will of the goddess and causing harm in a very big way. The goddess may do horrific nasty things to people who chouse to do this. Be pretaired to live a long painfully misserable life. As far as Wicca is conserned anyway.

Have a good day.

Man, people like that are what make the rest of us look bad >:(

Even if we're called to be dominion over the earth (because of our unique nature as humans), I fail to see how our President is desecrating the environment.

Gee, armbands. I'm impressed...not. *rolls eyes*

Methinks something smells rotten in Grand Rapids.

I love the part where they bash Bush for "mixing religion and politics".

Ignore for the moment the utter hypocracy of that statement (considering what they're doing in this very political protest). What they're really bitching about is that Bush talks openly about his faith.

These closet-"Christians" make me ill. If they want a schism so badly, bring it on then. I won't miss them much.

Hey any tatic to try to seperate Bush from the Christian comunity. Or as they would say the evil christain conservative far right. Your right Bush has done none of this. The issues they try to link to the christian faith are questionable.

But I guess you could find the odd "christian" that feels that being against conservatives is a christian issue. As nutty as those folks get.
