I don't think it was just because he read the Bible and that is not his claim anyway. He said he had an encounter with Jesus...not just reading the Bible. Shoot just reading the Bible will do nothing for you unless you actually are looking earnestly for God. So many people think that being a Christian is just reading the Bible and doing what it says. That is not a Christian. Yes that is religion and will just make you depressed and not have much life. And being a Christian does not make you perfect, we still are human and make mistakes, but it is a process of perfection that is only finished when we see Christ face to face. So yes Bush is not perfect. Nor am I.
And I will not judge if he actually accepted Christ or not, I can only go with what he professes and see what he lets people see of his personal life. I don't know his heart, only God knows that.
I've known a few drug addicts and people with drinking problems that have been delivered of those issues because of a touch from Jesus. It is not some stupid story or made up thing. I know them personally and have seen their lives and see the change. So yes I can believe that this happened with Bush or anyone else that would share this type of story.
Yes I am a Christian as much as I hate to actually use the term today, since it has been completely muddled with a lot of people that call themselves Christian but seem to definitely not have any understanding of what it means to have a relationship with God. And no Christianity is not a religion as popular belief would think it, nor is it a philosophy or moral code. and unlike what you said above about Christians follow a 2000 year old dead guy, Jesus is not dead...He is in fact quite alive, of course you've heard the account of the cross, but then you'd also have heard the account of Him resurrecting, oh and just so you know resurrection is not some hogwash dim minded senseless hope or make believe thing, there are actual factual real life accounts in the 100s today of people being resurrected by the power of Jesus Christ. I've seen it with my own eyes as a matter of fact.
I have seen God change my life radically as well, but anyway, if you want to hear more of my experience with God and my testimony, read my journal. I'd post it here, but it would be a bit off topic, although it answers your reply nicely.
So, flame me or call me a freak, I really don't care. That doesn't change the fact that I actually care about all you people that are posting on Slashdot regardless of your religion or beliefs.
I'm tired of living with my head in the sand and trying to hide my faith because I might offend someone. You can choose to be offended or not, that is your choice.
I am not shoving something down someone's throat. You can say, Hmmm...there might be something there, or you could say, I don't believe it. It's is your choice. That is one of the nice things about America and true freedom. Not this political correctness crap that is trying to keep people locked into a straight jacket of fear and control. Anyway, end of rant. I'd be lucky if this post actually gets through anyway.
