    Yea, I'm the one who put those 2 troll mods on you. Next time, DON'T GO GRAMMAR NAZI BECAUSE YOU DISAGREE ON A POINT! I thought my opinions were crazy, but sheesh, meeting you makes me seem normal.

    Do you even know what a "religious fundamendalist zealot" is? I've yet to read about Bush hanging Laura in the name of God for some minor mistake she made.

    If Bush is religious I wonder what religion it is. Satanism perhaps; there's certainly no sign of Christian values in his actions.

    Perhaps, and I'm going out on a limb here, he only says all that stuff about God because there's votes in it and religious people will believe any old shit (eg, the bible/koran/tora/dianetics)?

    Shame it's a dupe though :(
