    Serious question.

    I have read he is a "born again" Christian. Does this mean a Fundamentalist? The type that ask "Have you accepted Jesus as your personal Savior?"

    Is he in the same boat with guys who believe the Earth is 6000 years old?

    Just asking.

    You say this because you can't stand the man.

    Wasn't he pushing for "Intelligent Design"? That's in contradiction with believing in Adam and Eve literally.

    Bush is a fundamentalist Christian, in an over-privileged frat boy sort of way.

    I guess that when you send people to kill others, you're a fundamentalist, right?

    This is not what I was asking.

    I know he is a Christian. I just wanted to know what denomination of Christianity he belongs to (I assume he is Protestant), if he believes in Sola Scriptura and if he believes in what the Bible says in a literal way.

    Just because he says he is Christian doesn't make it so.

    I could ask you many questions, but I don't think you or me know much about theology to have an intelligent discussion.

    smeagol - why did you start this thread? I've seen at least three people try to answer your question, and you swat their answers back into their faces. Do you want feedback, or not?

    As for intelligent design, that was never intended to be an end product. It is merely a tool for getting Creation into the classroom, and is therefore supported by MANY fundamentalists.

    Here's a small take from Wilkpedia, if you need more info there's a book out about his faith (haven't read it).

    Religious beliefs and practices
    After meeting evangelist Billy Graham in 1985, Bush became much more involved in Christian belief and practice. [12] During this period, he left the Bush family's Episcopalian faith to join his wife's United Methodist Church, a denomination that in part represents a more socially conservative worldview (see United Methodist Church "Diversity Within Methodist Beliefs"). Bush is generally recognized as a born-again Christian.

    In one of the televised debates in the 2000 Republican primaries, all participating candidates were asked to name their favorite philosopher. Bush responded by stating "Jesus Christ" — implying that Jesus was the philosopher who had "changed his life".

    You are right. I appologize, some people have answered some of my questions.

    The one I'm still hung on is does Bush take the Bible literally like some born again Christians do? I guess I'll do more research on United Methodists beliefs.

    Not to get off subject in any way, but no matter how Bush took the bible, literal or not, he definitely doesn't follow it or live his life by it.
    And what is this talk about Bushs' denomination that has a socially conservative worldview? What is a Christ-like view?

    What country would Jesus bomb?

    True.

    Let me start by asking what is your Christian denomination?

    I think Bush believes he is a good Christian and we all know how hard headed he can be once he makes a decision.

    I am wondering something. Are you cheering, Jesus would bomb this country or
    that Bush is a good Christian, but is hard headed about it. From you postings
    I would vote for bombing of this country. If your bunch has their way, you will
    get it.
