how can you justify these kids being brought to that point of ecstasy of prayer where they cry and treat the image of Bush as an idol, a GOD????
Praying FOR OUR PRESIDENT TO MAKE BETTER CHOICES is not done in this manner.
Have you noticed? The prayers to Bush are not working either.
The purpose of this church is to make him an "idol" and brainwash these followers, and that is very evil.
What kind of people are these?
I mean, they cant have a mind of their own.
Just pathetic.

BOTTOM LINE - the OP, and those who blindly agreed with him, are dead wrong.
The Children are NOT praising Bush.
The Children are NOT idolizing him.
The Children are NOT crying at his feet and kissing them.
The Children are NOT saying Bush is God.
Period.
The children are being taught to pray FOR him - evangelical style.
That means they are being taught that he is in need of prayer.
That means they are being taught that he isn't GOD.
Instructions on Worship
1 Timothy 2:1,2
I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone—
Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
1 Thessalonians 5:17
pray continually
Ephesians 6:18
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.

Dear Blac,,
You're absolutely right, there is no one who can get us out of this mess, i dont care who they are. Under the guise of goodness and morality and in the name of religion, Bush has turned this world into a circus, not for the weak in the stomach.
This just leaves a very bad impression to me of certain religions, i'm not even sure about Catholicism. They all seem to be cults anymore.
Whoever we get next will carry the torch and move on with the same agenda, no matter if they're Democrat, Independent, Republicans or ET's.
The world as we "knew" it has ENDED.
I would still want some of my previous questions answered if someone is an evangelist and cares to explain it to me.

Would these same evangelicals prostrate themselves before an image ( cutout ) of the Devil himself?
Stand old Dick Cheney in the corner and pray for him after dinner; he needs it badly:
This is really sick: The mere thought of young people bowing down,
Pray for Bush and his cabal?
All the prayers in the world are going to do no good if the recipient has a hardened heart
Promoting the image of Bush as someone worthy of time and attention is a tragedy
Wasting time and effort on the foresaken sinners is a waste of time
and God will not honor the mumblings of the deluded at the feet of an idolic picture any more than he would from the rantings of a demoniac.

Ok, sure, it is easy to get riled about the fact that Bush can fool so many people so much of the time due to media manipulation and a populace that knows all the trampy ' stars ' in vouge at the moment but cannot tell you who is running the world and what crimes they are committing.
most of those church groups are NOT praying for Bush to become a better person and confess his crimes and sins and repent...no, he is held to a different standard, isn't he? He gets people praying that the mean old Democrats will be defeated by the hand of the Lord so Bush's programs can go foreward unimpeded.
Of course these same drones have no idea what any of the programs are, or what the future holds for them under a Bushian Neocon world government, but hey..the game is on and the beer is cold so forget all that political stuff and throw a few shrimp on the barbie or a steak on the grill and trust that all those things the 9-11 people are saying aren't true and that gas prices will go down when the 'rag heads' are finally defeated by the glory of God and Bush's inside info from the almighty..recall that?
Recall that Bush actually hints that God tells him to attack and kill the innocents around the world so that we can all be safe from ' terror '? Recall the Downing Street memo? you know, the one that proved that the war was fixed around the intelligence, and that it was all lies? that Bush the scum was determined to invade Iraq and Iran, etc. way before he took office: It was the PNAC plan, and it is being implemented right now, thank you very much.
Those ' prarey warriors ' are NOT praying that George appear before the Senate and the people on live TV and admit that he was part and parcel of the 9-11 events and the ruination of the Constitution and our liberties for the profit of him and his cronies. No, indeed they allow him to flaunt his guilt and ignore accountability, preening in front of the cameras and spewing his vile lies about his intentions and his abuse of the laws and the system itself. He is never challenged and called what he is: A dangerous and amoral repressed homosexual who wishes above all he could take a bottle Jack D. and a half oz of blow and a few ' close friends ' and disappear for a few days to relive his youth.
Yet his image stands in churches and the faithful pray at his feet. They pray that the people trying to restore sanity are thwarted by the Bush minions..they pray that Bush's programs for destruction will be advanced against the wishes of the majority of the people..they pray that God protect the worst mass murderers since the great wars and actually believe their twwisted lies about their guilyt on 9-11.
We do NOT need people praying counter to the will of God or the people, and that is what is going on here. God does not eendorse Bush and his cabal's crimes..the people hate the way he has subverted justice..it is always the uninformed, the ignorant, the people who watch Fox News all the time,, the folks who let others tell them what the truth is and accept any fable as long as it satisfies their peer group..these are the people who pray for Bush..I do NOT.
I do not pray that anything BADE happen to him, that would be wrong. I do however pray that he get what he deserves IN THIS LIFE and be exposed for what he really is, so the righteous can spend their time in pursuit of prayer that actually might avail something.
