However, seeing our elected (?) President is supposed to represent a varied nation in terms of religious beliefs (and non-belief), I feel that in his public pronouncments he should not proclaim any Christian beliefs at all! Freedom, equal rights, etc., are NOT from the Christian Bible (let's not even get into the Old Testament) but from humanity finding its best means of accomodation. The biggest cynics are those who deny this.

Well, yes. I don't see how a committed chrisitan can rule this declared secular country for four years without being kicked out for some inconstituonal move.

And I am sorry, but there is nobody who can represent everyone of us. How can Bush be man and woman at the same time ? If he is a christian, then he is not shut up about it because being a christian should be part of who he is. And if even the president can't speak out his beliefs, then who can ? ( I guess only the homeless ).

A "Good" Christian is an oxymoron, in my opinion, but to be fair, there is no "good" or "evil", just people. I would say, however, that Bush isn't a good president, meaning he doesn't have the skills needed to be a desicion maker.

With "good" I meant an imitator of Jesus' life. And
I think you don't need any skill to make a decision, I guess you wanted to say a "good" decision.

Whoops! Guilty as charged.
