The most alarming thing revealed on Frontline last night was Bush's deep-held belief that only those who are "born-again Christians" will ever enter the kingdom of heaven. (George's religious conversion resulted from his earlier contact with Billy Graham.)
Frontline reported an incident where George W and his mother were debating whether it was possible for anyone else (other than born-again Christians) to go to heaven. Barbara (an Episcopalian) held a more ecumenical view that we should all do our best on earth and leave it to God to decide. Bush disagreed. They picked up the phone and called their friend Rev. Billy Graham who said, "I'll have to agree with your mother on this."
But George W Bush flatly rejected Billy Graham's position.
Bush's little secret is that he holds the hard-line fundamentalist belief that only "born-again" Christians will go to heaven... not Muslims, not jews, not Catholics, not even Episcopalians. This puts Bush far to the right of Billy Graham and into the camp of Jerry Falwell.
At best, these evangelicals do little harm, living their lives in the quiet conviction that they are among God's chosen few. At worst, they will stop at nothing to win the world for Christ. This includes the use of government to further their "faith-based" causes and using the US military to "rid the world of evil."
