With Bush, we have had all the religious and patriotic "God equals America" speech and imagery from the very beginning. Recall how the news covered the man in Florida who said 'for the first time he felt God was in the White House.'
"At the Nuremburg Nazi Party Rally in September 1937, there was a huge photograph of Hitler underneath which was the inscription, "In the beginning was the Word""The Mayor of Hamburg assured him, [Teeling] "We need nor priests or parsons. We communicate direct with God through Adolph Hitler. He has many Christ-like qualities." (L. p. 62.)
"A Rhemish group of German "Christians" in April 1937 passed this resolution: "Hitler's word is God's law, the decrees and laws which represent it possess divine authority." And Reichsminister for Church Affairs, Hans Kerrl, says: "There has arisen a new authority as to what Christ and Christianity really are - that is Adolf Hiter" is the true Holy Ghost." (L. p. 63.)
After his stunning successes, and the fact that he seemed to lead a simple life almost wholly dedicated to his work, and, to all appearances, almost sexless, the Germans came to perceive Hitler in much the same way.
"He [Hitler] is the acme of German honor and purity; the Resurrector of the the German family
and home." (L. p. 59.)
But, based on testimony by people who knew him well, including some of his sex partners, Langer describes a very sick and perverted sex life.
Bush was the "family values" candidate. Many people perceive his "piety" as an antidote to the "godlessness" they see all around them, and believe he will lead us back to the values of our "Christian" past - a past that itself is largely a myth. link
I have written in many articles, one of them being "Standing in Awe of Bush's Christianity," that I believe Bush is sincere in his belief in God and Christ. However, GREED, which is the linchpin of this administration, concern for the rich at the expense of the poor, war-mongering, fear-mongering, constant lies and deceit, bearing false witness against one's "enemies," always putting profits for corporate campaign contributors ahead of the environmental concerns of the earth God commanded us to be good stewards of, are not generally considered Christian principles.
What this religiosity in the White House is actually leading us to of course, is the hypocrisy, self-righteousness, pride, selfishness, greed and lack of concern for our fellow man which are the only aspects of human nature Christ ever really railed against.
