The trouble is that GWB has claimed all sorts of things, some of which (such as WMD in Iraq, to pick a notable example) have proved to be lies. So one can't necessarily believe him.
I'm not saying he's not a practising Christian, but how do I know he's genuine and not just doing it for show - just to get the 'religious vote'?

Don't get me wrong...I'm not a huge fan of the President, though I also don't see him as the Avatar of Evil in the modern world. I am, however, a practicing Christian, which President Bush also claims to be. Despite growing up in church, and being ordained as both a deacon and a Baptist minister, I missed the part about being empowered by human sacrifice. Please enlighten me regarding this doctrinal point.

There is no "Mayan" people....
Mayans died out a very long time ago, and where replaced by the Aztec Empire (Aztecs did not kill off Mayans, instead they just seemed to vanish) Why call themselves Mayan?
Anyways, purify away lil buddies.. to each his own.

I wonder how GWB's membership in the Skull and Bones, squares with the Baptist?
Here ya go..........
Probably about as well as membership in any other fraternity squares with it. At risk of sounding terribly mundane, the whole Skull and Bones thing seems a bit overblown. Yes, there are a lot of high-ranking, powerful people on their membership roll down through the years. Then again, they are located on one of *the* Ivy League campuses, and they are considered a very exclusive club, even if you just take the 'official' line...which means that the upper strata of the student body will be the primary source for their membership. I wonder what would happen if some other fraternity / organization (say, Phi Beta Kappa) were given the same in-depth study that Skull and Bones has gotten. Would we find a similar high density of Importan People? Admittedly, this is probably a topic for its own thread, but I'm working on no coffee so far, so pardon my digression. *grin*
I guess my point in the above ramble would be that members of the Skull and Bones probably did / do / will do things that don't sit well with Baptist doctrine....but you can say the same thing about (insert three random Greek letters *here*) and their fraternity parties.
