Bush to Liberals: I am tolerant, but you should be a Christian (paraphrase)

Oh, George, you rascal you! Thanks to both Bad Catholic and Carlos at Jesus Politics for this one. According to the paper owned by a cultist freak, Bush thinks that you really need to be a Christian to be President. He reaches out to liberals saying, "The president said there is no reason to fear his conspicuous practice of his Methodist faith or his approval of religious expression in the public square."

I am not afraid of his "conspicuous practice" of his faith, but just wonder when it will actually turn into action? Have we yet any evidence that his faith is more than a political card? Has he treated his political enemies with anything approaching Christianity? Hmm. Maybe he thinks that his faith really is just public quotes and appeals to the religious right.

Yeah. I am a Christian, but I don't want a Christian theocracy any more than I want a Muslim theocracy or any other kind. People screw things up. Combining two things people routinely screw up -- religion and government -- has always been a recipe for disaster.
