So, uhhh, yeah.

I was thinking about this before and was like double yew tee eff.

Anyways.

Aren't any of you Christians out there pissed off? I mean the most visible and controversial person out there who makes it known that his religion plays a central role in his decisions and priorities is fucking everything up for you. George W. Bush

Basically, everybody outside the United States hates, no loaths and fears him. In our own country it's finally turning out that most of the people that voted him into office or just didn't care about it in the first place are saying to themselves, 'oh shit'.

I mean this level of incompetence, of corruption, of colonial white-man elitism, of absence of accountability, of deception, it's rediculous.

They might as well be laughing in our fucking faces, with their double speak bullshit.

Basically, our generation, my generation, is fed up and pissed off as most things in this country are sorta fucked.

Our democracy, our capitalism, our greed, our laziness. There needs to be some sort of a societal revolution. The way we are just counted as stupid consumers in our democracy is sad. How everything is orchestrated, how nobody wants to deal with the real issues cause they're busy trying to get reelected. Bah, it's fucked.

Anyways, my point is, that's what people, at least the young people I know, are associating with George Bush. Too, with George Bush touting his religious beliefs and ideologies, warranted or not, he'll too be associated with Christianity.

So here's the thing. When things are fucked like this, there's always a backlash. And when things are this bad and pessimistic for the youth, I think it's going to be a pretty big backlash. It's going to be time to reign in the Republicans, and start changing things.

Today, Christianity in this country probably could not become more relevant on this country's conciousness and public forum. But I believe thanks in large part to GWB, the youth, who are already dissenfrancised with most modern religions (especially christianity in my experience), are just going to hold more of a prejeduce and hate for Evangelical Christianity.

Like I said above, I think it's going to be associated with a sort of white-man, black suit elitism, of hypocracy, and there's just going to be a rebellion against it.

That's what I think about that.

I also think that if Christians in power continue to halt the progress of the country (gay marriage - morning after pill - many others) against the majority of right minded people, on important social issues, that will propogate as well towards a rebellion as well.

I think too, if anyone has read this far, and is like 'i'm a christian and i hate bush' etc, I would say be more vocal, organize yourselves, and make it known that GWB is not a man of your religion, of your theology. Sure I've come across one or two Christian websites condemning Bush as president or as a Christian. But more and more, everyday, I'll switch on the seven-hundred club and listen to Pat Robertson gabber on and on like a fucking idiot, seemingly supporting the president so blindly, without independent thought and meditation, just because he's Christian.

I think that too many Christians think it's all for the better because Bush has this huge religious complex, but fuck man, step back for a moment, and look at the world.

The End.

Anyone who considers Bush a 'face for Christianity' is a dumbass. He does no more damage to the religion than the rest of the fundamentalists in the world. That is the true problem, fundamentalism. Pointing fingers at Bush isn't going to stop anything.

Furthermore, though I disagree with the fundamentalist movement, I don't really have much of a desire to 'be more vocal'. I hate whiny protesters and people going door to door getting petitions that will be ignored by congress signed. There's not really a point.

In retrospect, while I find Bush and his diehard fans annoying and dumb, I'm not motivated enought to waste my time and effort trying to instigate a social 'backlash'.

Furthermore, I don't believe in 'societal revolutions'. The only revolutions worth starting are those involving guns.

Anyone who would be dumb enough to consider Bush as a 'face for christianity' would be most people unfamiliar or prejeduce with the religion. I mean this guy does have huge backing from the Evangelical right, does he not?

As the commander of this country, I would have to say that he is doing much more damage to the view and idea of the Christian religion than anyone else. He is unrivaled in this spectrum. Pointing fingers at Bush, and being more vocal in some respect would have at least some effect, I would think, in counter-acting the prejeduce of Christianity.

And your desire not to be more vocal, and your hate for whiny protestors going door to door kind of coincides with the laziness and irrelevence that I was explaining in my first post.

And finally I don't think anyone has to really instigate a backlash. I think it's subconcious, and it's going to come either way. It's the way the world works. balance and counterbalance.

Too when I talked about societal revolutions, I wasn't necessarily talking about a stereotypical, people protesting on the street, kind of thing. It could be different and work out in other kinds of ways. It's like life, when things are shitty, or you get lazy, you've got to catch yourself, and give yourself a little kick in the ass to get things moving right.

No, this presents no problem. Especially when Jesus said that Christians are going to be persecuted and loathed and hated. I think your post belongs in Politics though.
