THE WORD OF GOD.
President George Bush tells us that he invaded Iraq because God told him too.
Therefore, I presume all Christians, obeying the Lord's word, are in favour of the Iraqi war, right?
Only doubting Thomas's could think otherwise, suggesting that Bush was either telling little white lies, or is deluded.
If you think he is not telling the truth, you must believe him unfit for office. If you think he is deluded, surely this makes him unfit for office also.
But when anybody, Bush or otherwise, hears voices in their head, is that the word of God, or a sign of madness, and how can we tell the difference?
God has never spoken to me directly, and frankly, I do not believe he, or she, speaks to anyone directly. If used (or misused) by politicians, religion is a most powerful tool.
