> Fair enough, **John**. However, there are plenty of Bush quotes on the record, that reveal the extraordinary claim of him having a direct line to “God.”

True, but let’s also note that the bolded part of your quote was someone’s conjecture, and not something that Bush has ever said.

An the point of debate in this thread, none of those quotes bears on whether Christians should judge Bush as being headed to either heaven or hell.

Atheist here. If there is a hell, I’m sure to be there, too. 🙂

No one can honestly say. It’s entirely up to God, and not up to any of God’s followers, Christian or otherwise.
