I must have misunderstood you. Did you mean to state that if George Bush, who considers himself a christian, saw Jesus hug a homosexual, he would declare Jesus a terrorist? Your basis for that statement is? There is a LOT that I do not like about our current President's policies, but I really cannot see that as very accurate but rather what I would consider a 'hatemonger' comment. While I disagree with George Bush on gay marriage, the only comments of his that I am aware of regarding homosexuality and gay marriage are:


"Yes, I am mindful that we're all sinners," the president said Wednesday when asked for his views on homosexuality. "And I caution those who may try to take the speck out of the neighbor's eye when they've got a log in their own."

"I think it's very important for our society to respect each individual, to welcome those with good hearts, to be a welcoming country," Bush added. "On the other hand, that does not mean that somebody like me needs to compromise on an issue such as marriage."


It doesn't read anywhere that he hates homosexuals or considers them terrorists. He simply agrees with you and believes that marriage should be between a man and a women. He would like to see that codified into law though.

Are there other comments I am unaware of? A lot of special interest groups and the media tend to 'read into' comments but I have not seen any actual anti-homosexual quotes or any which associate homosexuals with terrorists. The closest he has come is to suggest that homosexuality is a sin. Again, that is a religious opinion.

>>The difference is that we think that doing good is pleasure in itself, as it is good for mankind - not because any particular religion says so, or to serve any entity other than mankind.
