I have been fascinated by the psychology of George W. Bush since he first declared his candidacy for presidency, and burst on the scene. I keep wondering how he reconciles his so-called Christianity with his satanic background and actions.
There are a number of possible explanations. He may be too stupid to recognize the contradiction- but I doubt it. He may be totally cynical, not caring whether he contradicts himself or not. Perhaps he is a true satanist, and a better actor than Ronald Reagan, duping the public with pretended piety. He may have multiple personalities, so that the pious Christian within him is not aware of the bloodthirsty torturer, and vice-versa. He is so secretive and so scripted that it is hard to know what the real person is like.
Modern psychology aside, it is clear that Bush is power-hungry and and somewhat megalomaniacal. His current challenge to we the people and our representatives in Congress, that he is above the law, can spy without a warrant, and we can't do anything about it, is a strong sign that he sees himself as emperor, king, god, rather than as an elected official of the citizenry.
Bush sees himself as ruler rather than as public servant. Perhaps the simplest explanation for the invasion of Iraq is that Bush needed a war so that he could be a war president, and claim war powers for himself as the commander-in-chief of a nation at war.
Bush's regime is founded on stirring up hatred, of Christians towards Muslims, of native borns towards immigrants, of poor toward rich. His methods are hateful- smears, cheating on voting, blackmail and intimidation, spying and sneaking, torture called something else, secret detention centers, etc.
1 John 2: 11Whoever hates his brother is in darkness; he walks in darkness and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Bush is blinded. He does not see the accumulated disasters heading his way- the investigations into corruption, the revolt of the generals against his Iraq policy, the outrage against his imperial claims to unlimited power. His days are numbered, but he blithely continues to stay the course, to hell.
He will not succeed in taking us all there with him.

You seem to put modern psychology 'aside' in every article you author to portray this predominantly Xtian supported theofascist Bush as 'Satan'. In your Xtian proselytising, you also conveniently neglect to point out that if it weren't for the vast numbers of Xtians supporting this psychotic meglogmaniac, he would not be in his powerful position of demagoguery.
Perhaps you should delve into your own religious psychosis [mental disorder in which contact with reality is lost or highly distorted from fiction or faith based belief in superstitions and the supernatural]. It is these very same psychotic beliefs in imaginary, invisible supernatural entities like 'satan' and 'god' that are directly responsible for the Authoritarian [means same as totalitarian] GOP rule in America.
Perhaps you should invest your preveious behavioral science background researching the connection between the RWA [right wing authoritarian] personality and christianity rather than delving into superstitious Xtian mumbo jumbo about why GW Bush is a psychotic meglomaniac... The RWA is a xenophobic, closed-minded, control-driven individual, ready to submit to dominants and equally ready to oppress subordinates. They fill 'God's Own Party' [GOP] from its constituency on up to its crooked, covertly deviant and hypocritical politicians.
Classic Christianity is a form of Right Wing Authoritarianism (RWA). Historical Christianity is a classic example of RWA thought. RWA personalities have been damaged by their life experience, due to the ruthless way people organize human societies, and the dog eat dog ethos of competition and war fare in all its many forms that have characterized human societies for thousands of years. This leads to a belief that other human beings are extremely dangerous. This is a learned belief.
Christianity, like the other mono-theistic skygod religions, is based on FEAR. Fear discourages true independent thought and doesn't encourage it beyond a prescribed path. Christianity uses tactics dressed up in a suit of clothes and sold as an imaginary Skygod's "loving nature", "holy and just nature", or "plan for mankind and the universe."
Tactics that are nothing more than attempts to manipulate and coerce the minds of the masses. A person cannot know what their true beliefs are if they're scared senseless from sampling other beliefs for fear of angering some invisible, imaginary SkyGod.
Naturally, that's the whole point of using fear as tactics to promote obedience and conformity in populations.The larger the flock, the larger the base of power for a belief system. It's all about control. The Bible God will punish anyone who doesn't reach a particular and proper conclusion. There is nothing free about that type of will.
Conclusions cannot be made objectively because the use of fear tactics taints the "freedom" and independence of the thought process. "Religiosity, to a large degree, essentially is masochism; and both are forms of mental sickness."

re. In the name of the Prince of Peace, Carol Wolman
Here’s some biblical scripture allegedly said by this mythological ’Prince of Peace’ you claim to speak in the name of called Jesus
“Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I [Jesus] tell you, Nay; but rather division: For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.” (Luke 12:51-2)
“Think not that I [Jesus] have come to send peace on earth: I come not to send peace, but a sword.” (Matthew 10:34)
“…for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.” (Matthew 26:52)
“…and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.” (Luke 22:36)
Your self proclaimed 'Prince of Peace' and son of imaginary skygod sounds more like the psychotic meglomaniac Bush claiming to speak for him..

According to this article below, the Bush clan is planning their own way of life. They have influenced and blackmailed government leaders into creating the New World Order which will include globalization, slavery of the lower income groups, and a living hell for everybody else. We cannot let this happen !
