"Faith In The White House" TV Special
snip:

Denver, Colorado Grizzly Adams Productions (GAP) announced today that nine Christian television networks which includes seven domestic/international satellites, 62 broadcast stations, 510 broadcast affiliates, and over 3,000 cable outlets, plan multiple showings of GAP's 52-minute news documentary, Faith in the White House, with over half of the broadcasts scheduled in prime time during September and October. The combined broadcast schedule will reach the largest possible audience of faith-based viewers, an estimated 60 million households.

Washington D.C.-based national talk broadcaster and family faith issues author, Janet Parshall, hosts the non-partisan, independently produced news documentary that examines the extraordinary faith and prayer life of President George W. Bush.

"Christians want to know where President Bush stands on significant moral, family, and faith issues," says executive producer Ted Beckett. "Our Bush Faith TV special reveals that George W. Bush consistently walks the talk of his faith with family and associates, and in his public role as the leader of the free world."

Parshall confirms BBC correspondent Justin Webb's observation that, "Nobody spends more time on his knees than George W. Bush. The Bush administration hums to the sound of prayer. Prayer meetings take place day and night. It¹s not uncommon to see White House functionaries hurrying down corridors carrying Bibles."

Prayer meetings day and night in the WH with * on his knees? The link doesn't provide much more info than I've posted so it's not necessary to hit.

1. so if he has so much faith, why does he keep lying about Iraq ?
Why does Bush pray so much ? Because God is merciful. Maybe if Bush prays enough God will forgive all his transgressions.

2. Bull
I'd like to see a special called "Wolves in Sheep's Clothing" to balance this pro-Bush propaganda. "Wolves" would explore the disconnect between Bush's words and actions, noting which actions violate the teachings of Jesus....

3. Christians should know by his actions,
not his words or photo ops, if he believes the teachings of Christ. These types of documentaries scare me!

There is a reason we have a separation between church and state.

4. extraordinary faith of George Bush -
the biggest lie out there - If George Bush would have been Catholic, he would have converted to Christianity only to grab votes and propaganda TV shows like this one.

5. He has to rely on faith...
...because logic states that his policies are all fucking stupid or serving only the richest minority at the expense of the rest of us.

8. George W. Bush, Messiah or Jim Jones Wanna-be?
Between vacations and spending time on his knees, no wonder our country is going to hell and back. George is spending too much time on his knees challenging God for a miracle; 'please God give me a miracle, kill all those rag head infidels, please God, cheney and friends need the oil.'

If these people are in Iraq killing twisted religious fanatics, we the free world, industrialized nation, leaders of democracy, leaders of technology..we're not any different from those world religious fanatics.

It's a very dark stage for America. Kerry needs to win or our freedom of religion will be totally vanished.

For those who hide behind the cloak of religion, what are you hiding behind that cloak?

That rather does explain his fundraising successes.

15. Just another one of those sad, "shock and awe" moments most of us
experience on a day to day basis. I can appreciate what everyone in Florida is going through, having lived through one before. There has got to be some major stress going on, but hey the good news is, they did go ahead and hold the game on in "torrential rains". That is when my jaw dropped in shock and awe. Why were all these Floridians at professional football games when so many of their friends, neighbors or just members of their communities needed their aid?

This is Christian? All I am reminded of, is the Roman Empire.
