Does it really matter, or do you just want to poke fun? Does he bother you that much?
The only thing that matters in religion is your relationship with God. Doesn't have to be in a church, mosque, or temple. If you actually cared about religion, you'd know that. |

| The funny part about people caring about him being in church is he would only be there to be seen. People don't need church for religion OP. Can't you understand the demands on the president make keeping church hours difficult? |

He has had time for more vacations, golf, basketball, etc. than any other president while spending like a drunk sailor. No worse.
Why does he make a pretense to be Christian when we all know his background there was the local racist organization run by Rev. Wright in Chicago? |

You can't possibly be Christian yourself, or you wouldn't judge his path to God. Unless, you know, you weren't a very good Christian to begin with. |

While the president of the United States is never completely on vacation, most commanders-in-chief manage to enjoy a respite from the daily grind during their stay the White House. George W. Bush seems to have taken this to the extreme early in his tenure as president. A humorous, fake resume for Bush suggests that he set the record for most days on vacation by any president in U.S. history -- a bit of an exaggeration, but still cause for some teasing. According to an August 2003 article in the Washington Post, President Bush has spent all or part of 166 days during his presidency at his Crawford, Texas, ranch or en route. Add the time spent at or en route to the presidential retreat of Camp David and at the Bush family estate in Kennebunkport, Maine, and Bush has taken 250 days off as of August 2003. That's 27% of his presidency spent on vacation. Although to be fair, much of this time is classified as a "working vacation." Bush isn't the first president to get away from his work. George Bush Sr. took all or part of 543 vacation days at Camp David and in Kennebunkport. Ronald Reagan spent 335 days at or en route to his Santa Barbara, California, ranch during his eight years in office. Of recent presidents, Jimmy Carter took the least days off -- only 79 days, which he usually spent at his home in Georgia. That's less than three weeks a year, which is closer to the average American's paid time off of 13 days per year. What about Clinton? As of December 1999, President Bill Clinton had spent only 152 days on holiday during his two terms, according to CBS News. A former staffer noted Clinton was such a workaholic that "it almost killed Clinton to take one-week vacations during August." In 2000, Clinton cut his summer vacation short to just three days, so he and his wife could concentrate on her Senate race and fundraising for Democrats. While we couldn't find the exact tally for Clinton's last year in office, it's reasonable to expect he didn't increase his vacation rate. And in barely three years in office, George W. Bush has already taken more vacation than Clinton did in seven years.

"You will know them by their fruits." Does that suggest some judgement. Nowhere is it written that one is to believe the deceivers. |

Here's the thing, though. It's not up to you. It's up to God. |

The evangelist Billy Sunday once said: "Going to church doesn't make you a Christian anymore than going to a garage makes you an automobile." Nevertheless, setting aside one hour every week and attending a worship service is a spiritual lift and food for thought for the coming week.
They are hypocrites in every other aspect that going to church would be nothing more than pretense. |

Since you have not read too much of it, it also says to: "Rebuke and expose evil." |

You don't know what I've read or not read. But you, however, seem so mired in discrete verses that you cannot see the forest for the trees. |

Well you must have missed the one cited because you still cannot respond to it.
Keep thinking. |

Right, but most American religious conservatives aren't actually Christians. They worship the anti-Christ. Seriously. They wrap themselves in the superficial trappings of Christianity, while ignoring pretty much every single one of Christ's teachings. When Judgement Day comes, they're going to find out they've been working for the wrong team. Man is it ever going to suck. |
