Does it really surprise you that a overly religious man from the south, at the beck and call of his father's whim would be a religious zealot trying to rule the world?
I do agree though, absolutely evil!
Religion + Politics = Nothing Good.
So, where most countries in the Middle East routinely mix Politics AND Religion, do you think of them as "absolutely evil"? The President of Iran doesn't take a dump without consulting his religious clerics. Sharia Law, enforced in almost all Muslim countries by their Islamic Governments, is totally religious in nature.
Our country is heading more in the wrong direction each day it continues to turn its back on God. Even if God is NOT real, at the very least the concept gives people of this country SOMETHING or SOMEONE they hold themselves accountable to. Those who don't have any religion ultimately only have GOVERNMENT for guidance and positive influence.
I doubt George W. Bush was a true Christian, but at least Government didn't grow and reach into my pockets as it has under Obama's administration!
If mixing religion and politics is truly a bad thing, wouldn't you agree that these countries in the Middle East are the "evil" ones?
This whole thread seems nothing more than an attack on Christianity. Like white males and Jews, its more and more acceptable to judge more harshly than ever.

Obama Set to Create A Cybersecurity Czar With Broad Mandate
The adviser will have the most comprehensive mandate granted to such an official to date and will probably be a member of the National Security Council but will report to the national security adviser as well as the senior White House economic adviser, said the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the deliberations are not final.
As the foremost defender of Senate prerogatives, Byrd is concerned that these new "czars" will assume vast policymaking authority without being answerable to Congress, whereas Cabinet secretaries, who must be confirmed by the Senate, can be summoned to testify before the chamber. They are also subject to stringent oversight, both through authorizing committees and the appropriations process, which Byrd has helped steer for decades. White House staffers, Byrd points out, "rarely testify before congressional committees and often shield the information and decision-making process behind the assertion of executive privilege."

That said, Gog and Magog may well be the USA and the state of Israel. We may have the whole thing backwards.
