It is certainly true that 'God' is often reduced to an idol created in the image and likeness of 'his' worshippers. If we imagine God to be a being like ourselves writ large, with likes and dislikes similar to our own, it is all too easy to make 'him' endorse some of our most uncharitable, selfish, and even lethal hopes, fears, and prejudices. This limited God has thus contributed to some of the worst religious atrocities in history.

Dirty Greek - Bush must know better than the authors
  Politics : Bush must know better than the authors
You are NOT on the DirtyGreek.Org homepage. Please CLICK HERE to go there.

Apparently, Bush has put forth his support of no less than 5 amendments in his term:

Flag burning
Victims rights
Abortion
Balanced budget
Gay marriage

Of course, he doesn't support any old amendment that comes to his desk, you know. He did, afterall, oppose ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. So, you know, he's not just amending the Constitution all willy-nilly!
