Jesus and President Bush
PBS Frontline is broadcasting a documentary called The Jesus Factor on the faith of President George W. Bush.
Because of his "faith", the president has received substantial criticism from those who assert religion has no place in politics. This assumes that it is possible to make decisions and govern without beliefs (that require faith). Humanism, apparently the prevailing belief system of the president's critics, is somehow seen as objective and non-religious despite a strong underlying faith that man can save and govern himself. The point I'm trying to make is that all individuals subscribe to and live their lives according to a fundamental belief system that is inherently based on faith driven presuppositions. These inward beliefs are acted upon and become externally manifested in each person's life.
The question I have is whether or not President Bush has effectively put his professed faith into practice. What do you think?
