I'm sure it is challenging for many of the American fundamentalists who threw their overweeningly credulous support behind Bush as a 'man of faith' to rationalize his disavowal of belief in Biblical events as literally true, Dusty.
That said, with such expertly maintained self-deception as they practice, perhaps they can convince themselves that a wicked imp in a Halloween mask mouthed those naughty heresies.
If there is a god, why is Dubya still around? Would Jesus laugh at our misery? I didn't vote for Dubya and yet, I am punished. Does this seem very Christian?
That would be the faith-based answer, U.S. - But as I tend more to the chaos based in my belief structures, I mark him down as yet another prick in the cactus field of life...Albeit a rather obtrusive one, with a distinct lack of deeper emotions or self-awareness.
Frankly, what faith is practiced about the home and hearth to assuage doubt and allay subjective fear is better left uninflicted upon the greater public as 'policy guidance', well-meaning or no.

Wellllllllll now, it seems your hiatus was short lived.
Glad to see you back in saddle, as it were.
Busted.
Well, since the work life is in the toilet I might as well blog, Busted.

'God has provided us such people as an example'.
