I pray to God every day to strike Bush dead. A heart attack would be great.
Or a fall down a flight of stairs, perhaps. Or some horrible disease. A
lighting bolt, while unsatisfying from a suffering perspective, would be a
wonderful display of Divine Justice.

You think the SS is interested in my prayers?

Ok you are praying everyday for God to strike Bush. Do you not realize that
Bush has full support of the Christian Coalition. That means there are
probably thousands of prayers been made each day for God to bless Bush and
give him guidance.

So how do you think God is going to handle this problem? Is it a democratic
process? I can visualize it now. God asks the angel in charge of the vote
count, how many prayers today? The angel answers we got 272 prayers to
strike him dead and 4,099 prayers from the Christians to bless Bush. God
answers, "OK the Christians have it."

You had just better hope the Christians don’t get the idea to ask God for a
third term. Because so far the Christians have been out voting you, both in
prayers and in the voting booth.

Uh-huh.

It isn't a question of "realizing" it - I simply don't care.

I'm fine with that, actually. Failing striking him dead, it would be nice
if Bush actually acted like he had some guidance. Personally I think
there's a much better argument for striking him dead though.

I don't practice the arrogance of pretending to know what God thinks, or how
He chooses to deal with problems. I leave such hubris to the folks at the
Christian Coalition.

What makes you assume that I'm not a Christian - and that everyone who votes
for Bush is?

And while we're on the subject - what makes you assume that God only listens
to the prayers of Christians?

I am not assuming anything. Apparently you are not smart enough to
understand that I am not serious about any of this and that I was only
making fun of you for asking God (whomever you god might be) to strike Bush.

We must never forget that on Sept.12, 2001, Israel's flags were flying at
half-staff and the Palestinians were dancing in the streets.

FYI because the US gives billions every year to Israel, who promptly use it
against Palestine. It's not exactly surprising that Palestinians would be
happy that the people bank-rolling the bulldozers running over their
children have been attacked - just like how Americans were happy Japan was
nuked in WWII.

Aaaaah American hypocrisy. Fantastic stuff.

Sure you are. When you said "so far the Christians have been out voting
you" - you differentiated me from "the Christians". You assumed that I'm
not a Christian.

It isn't a question of "smarts" - you never made that clear, even in your
sarcasm. The problem is that there are enough REAL right wing wack-jobs
saying exactly what you are that you sounded just like one of them. I was
supposed to know this wasn't the case *how* exactly?

I dislike Bush as much as the next sane person, but how can you pray to God
to kill someone? Doesn't that go against what Jesus taught, of turning the
other cheek/do-unto-others stuff? I'm not having a go at you - I like where
you're coming from - I just don't see how that works out :)

Someone should call them up and tell them to look for an infinitely old guy
sitting on a cloud, with a white beard. This "God" fella tried to
assassinate Bush three times, using a pretzel, a mountain bike, and in
possibly his most horrific attempt, a segway.
