Can you guess who said those things?  Do  <br>  <br> either of those two statements ring any bells? <br><br> The population of the United States is approximately 77%  <br>  <br> Christian according to research findings in 2001.  While the  <br>  <br> number of people who declined to answer about their  <br>  <br> religiosity increased, the percentage has remained fairly  <br>  <br> constant.[1]  The percentage of Christians in the United  <br>  <br> States military is approximately 80% with some regional  <br>  <br> military bases yielding even higher percentages. <br><br> George W. Bush is a Christian, a man who ordered the  <br>  <br> invasion and indiscriminate slaughter of over 100,000  <br>  <br> innocent Iraqis [2] all for the sake of seizing control of  <br>  <br> Iraq's oil.  Approximately half of America's Christians  <br>  <br> support, defend, and applaud Bush's invasion of Iraq. <br><br> Those Christians who support, defend, or applaud Bush's  <br>  <br> slaughter of so many innocent Iraqis, laugh about his war  <br>  <br> crime atrocities against God and humanity, sing praises of  <br>  <br> his murder of \"godless\" Muslims -- you Christians are  <br>  <br> damned.  You shall be judged as if you had pulled the  <br>  <br> trigger yourself, had dropped the cluster munitions on those  <br>  <br> children yourself, pushed the button that sent the cruise  <br>  <br> missiles on their way to wipe out whole residential  <br>  <br> neighborhoods yourself. <br><br> You Christians who support, defend, or applaud Bush's  <br>  <br> invasions and crimes in Iraq are going to be judged and you  <br>  <br> are all damned, any claims or demands to God about how you  <br>  <br> didn't know, how you were deceived, how you were led astray  <br>  <br> by Satan, by the Bush regime, or any other denial you'll try  <br>  <br> to make -- you Christians will be judged and will be spewed  <br>  <br> out, damned for all time. <br><br> And the reasons you're damned are exactly what you learned  <br>  <br> in Church.  You sin in your hearts.  You are just as guilty  <br>  <br> of the sins you support and defend as the people who  <br>  <br> committed these atrocities.  Not a one of you have an excuse  <br>  <br> for supporting and defending Bush and his crimes against God  <br>  <br> that will stand up in God's court.  You are all damned, now  <br>  <br> and forever. <br><br> If you died tomorrow without repenting of your sins, of your  <br>  <br> support and defense of what this brutal Bush regime has been  <br>  <br> doing and continues to do against God's children in Iraq, if  <br>  <br> you die before you can confess to Jesus, recant your  <br>  <br> support, recant your defense, you're going to burn in Hell  <br>  <br> and all the weeping and crying and gnashing of teeth won't  <br>  <br> make a difference --  and the reason? <br><br> Because you knew it was wrong.  You knew in your hearts that  <br>  <br> Bush's invasion and slaughter of God's innocent children was  <br>  <br> wrong and yet you supported it any way.  You defended it --  <br>  <br> on the telephone with friends, with your family, on the  <br>  <br> Internet, at work...  You defended Bush's war crime  <br>  <br> atrocities against humanity and against God himself knowing  <br>  <br> these crimes were wrong but you did it any way. <br><br> And if you continue to deny God, if you continue to try to  <br>  <br> pretend that the wonton, indiscriminate, wholesale murder of  <br>  <br> innocent people in Iraq is Godly, you know not Jesus nor his  <br>  <br> Father.  You will deserve to be damned <br><br> \"I am the LORD and there is no other, there is no God  <br>  <br> besides me. It is I who arm you, though you know me not, so  <br>  <br> that toward the rising and the setting of the sun men may  <br>  <br> know that there is none besides me. I am the LORD, there is  <br>  <br> no other; I form the light, and create the darkness, I make  <br>  <br> well-being and create woe; I, the LORD, do all these  <br>  <br> things.\" <br><br> [1] Demographics of the United States <br>  <br> <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Demographics_of_the_United_States\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Demographics_of_the_United_States<\/a> <br><br> [2] Study yields 100,000 Iraqis murdered.
