Doc,

Thank God! I was starting to get concerned about you. People who are convinced only they know the "true" path to heaven give me the creeps.

Tom,

I don't know that I said I personally hated GWB but I don't believe that hatred requires a "personal" and direct relationship with someone or something as you suggest either. I certainly don't believe that hatred for the person can be justified under Christianity but hatred for their actions certainly can. Further, when those actions are blasphemously attributed to "being called" by God, for better or worse, hatred for the blasphemy and the blasphemer wells up inside me. I don't know that I ever claimed to be a perfect Christian either. We are all human, of course, and these human tendencies became apparent in Christ himself on occasion (e.g., driving the money changers from the temple).

Best,

JohnTheGreek

You can hate someones actions without hating them. As for the true path to heaven, well, Judge G beat me to it. There is only one way. Don't worry, it gives even the best of believers the creeps to...it's called being a God fearing person. But I accept it. Just my belief, and for what it's worth, I'll pray for you, for you know not what you do...

But someone else will have to do that for the Clintons, Gore, Kerry, and T. Kennedy. My worship would be worthless on their behalf.
