Should the deeply religious be allowed to be world leaders?
"God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them." - George Bush
Bush appointed General William Boykin, who speaks at evangelical Christian meetings, to head the hunt for Osama bin Laden. Boykin once said the war on terror was a fight against Satan, and also told a Somali warlord that, 'My God was bigger than his. I knew that my God was a real God and his was an idol.'
Should a man so deeply religious (insane?), be allowed to be in a position of such a power?
In most (all?) cases, religion should not be allowed to influence political decisions. Religious people obviously do not rely on facts in order to believe things; in George Bush's case, this is obvious.
