I consider myself to be a conservative and have been a freeper here for quite some time. I consider myself a traditionalist - pro-military, anti-abortion, anti-Clinton et.al pro-war on terror. I do refer to my higher-power as God, but do not consider myself a Christian. I do believe that there are other ways to nurture one’s spirituality other than Christianity. I am not Muslim but practice my relationship to my higher Power as I understand ‘him’. I think Bush is trying to convey the message that all of man’s religions attempt to point to a common benevolent universal spirit. Unfortunately, the radical sects of religion are what gives certain religions a generalized bad name. I don’t have problems with what he said. There are other religions such as Buddhism, Hinduism in the world that espouse universal teachings of patience, love, tolerance, etc.
