First off, I¡¦m aware that it¡¦s a ridiculous comparison in the sense that its obvious that if you take seriously the teachings of Jesus as revealed through the Gospels, then the answer is both of them. But for those people who are blind but are willing to take a chance and look closely at the comparison, please read on:
„h Thy Shall Not Kill. Bin Laden is obvious on this one. Bush actually put a ¡§hit¡¨ on Saddam. Under Bush, Texas has executed quite a number of people. Under Bush, policies that promote poverty has created a class of malnourished children.
„h Beatitudes: ¡§It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.¡¨ Both Bush and Bin Laden are rich. Bush as a leader, however, is actively stacking the deck in favor of solidify the class structure in America where 2% of the population owns 78% of the wealth. Perhaps he¡¦s trying to save the souls of the poor by keeping the temptation of riches out of their reach.
„h Bin Laden doesn¡¦t go around saying that he¡¦s a Christian. Now here¡¦s a sticky point: Bush, by claiming that he believes in the teachings of Jesus, and then goes around the world literally mocking the teachings of Jesus by his actions, may cause for extra scrutiny when his time is up and he has to answer for his actions.
Please, by all means, write back and defend Bush to me, logically if possible. Can anyone out there effectively pardon Bush¡¦s hypocrisy?
