Why God Hates Bush. GOOD READ
Edited on Sat Jan-22-05 02:42 AM by mordarlar
>>>The Blood Guilty Churches

Why Bush’s Agenda Is Immoral and an Abomination to God<<<


>>>Profile of the Man God Hates



Scott Peck defines evil as, “The exercise of political power—that is, the imposition of one’s will upon others by overt or covert coercion—in order to avoid…spiritual growth.”<186> He says lying is both a symptom as well as one of the causes of evil.<187> There are several other remarkable facts about evil people revealed by Scott Peck’s book. He wrote in 1983:

“Because their willfulness is so extraordinary and always accompanied by a lust for power—I suspect that the evil are more likely than most to politically aggrandize themselves. Yet at the same time, being unsubmitted, their extreme willfulness is likely to lead them into political debacles.”<188>



Peck reveals the evil can never admit they’ve done anything wrong. They can never say, “I made a mistake.” They have to maintain the appearance of perfection—else the whole edifice of their personalities will crack. Peck explains, “Because they cannot admit to weakness or imperfection in themselves, they must appear They must appear to themselves to be continually on top of things, continually in command. Their narcissism demands it.”<189>



Marked by the “appearance” of competence, the evil are driven by fear. Peck says, “They are terrified that the pretense will break down and they will be exposed to the world and to themselves. They are continually frightened that they will come face-to-face with their own evil. Of all emotions, fear is the most painful. Regardless of how well they attempt to appear calm and collected in their daily dealings, the evil live their lives in fear. It is a terror—and a suffering—so chronic, so interwoven into the fabric of their being, that they may not even feel it as such.”<190>

If we take Scott Peck’s analysis and compare it carefully with a profile of the evil in the Bible, we can see remarkable similarities.

There are seven attributes of a man that God hates. God lays out the psychological profile of those traits he abhors. The following are from Proverbs 6:16-19 in the Amplified Version:

1. “A proud look .

2. “A lying tongue,

3. “Hands that shed innocent blood,

4. “A heart that manufactures wicked thoughts and plans,

5. “Feet that are swift in running to evil,

6. “A false witness who breathes out lies ,

7. “And he who sows discord among his brethren.”



Selah! Pause and think on these things.<<<

2. Thanks for reminding us (well me anyway) to read yurica report
I havn't been there in a while to read the latest and that site fascinates the hell out of me. It's so completely researched and so full of details. I guess it could seem a little to "conspiracy theory" to some but not me, not one bit!

7. Here in middle Tennessee, the most fundamentalist person I know
believes that the smirking chimp is the anti-Christ. The difficulty in supporting this thought is that my friend thinks it is another sign that the Rapture is just around the corner, and he believes that is a good thing. I have had some success asking my friend to think about respecting God's creation and to consider that our lives can create heaven on earth, if we ever get around to truly following the path that his "savior" laid out for us.

But this is such a dicey conversation to have. How any spiritual mindset can be created that celebrates and looks forward to the end of the world is way beyond me, but then my church is the woods, fields and streams on my farm. It is blasphemy to me to even consider despoiling Mother Earth, but the "evil massas" we are doing battle with take the opposite view. All the more reason to send them to meet their makers -- and soon.

9. Problem with false prophets enabling anti-christ.
Its assumed, though probably not true at this time, that anyone who has the courage, tenacity, intelligence and whatever else it might take can rise to the level of President of the United States. No one, natural born is excluded. I'm excluded because I was born in a foreign country despite, the fact that both of my parents were natural born.

When the modern day fundamentalists interpret biblical doctrine to assert that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God, rather than Christ is the only begotten Son of God, they exclude literally every single human being ever incarnated from becoming a Son (or Daughter) of God, with one exception. This is the doctrine of Anti-Christ. Make sure that no more Christ's come along. Furthermore, if one should happen by, make sure that the doctrine is on the books to discredit such a miracle worker as the spawn of Satan.

Jesus said "greater works than I have done, ye shall do also, because I (Christ, the mediator) shall go to my Father."

Ask your fundamentalist friends to try fasting and praying on whether they must always be children of God, or if they might one day become a Son or Daughter of God, with the attendant responsibility for one's actions that it entails. Also, see if they might be open to the possibility that prophecy should lead to disaster prevention, rather than embracing the annihilation of the human race.

6. Bush is consumed with fear and paranoia!
That's why he surrounds himself with OUR MILITARY...he fears his own people! Look at his coronation! His intention wasn't to honor our military! It was simply to protect himself from his own countrymen and women! The security (which was more than ridiculous) on Jan 20th undermined his power in my opinion! He has become a prisoner of his own greed and evil actions. Ironic, isn't it?

8. Evil= Hurting just to polish one's imagein other's eyes.
If you kill in defense of your child, or steal to eat, you're not automatically evil. But choosing to cause harm when it would have been easier to be passive, just to impress others is evil. It's the deliberate choice that makes it evil, and the person who profits. Great definition. Peck's 80's book People of the Lie is a must read.
