Bush's Church Demand he Repent

[Filuwaúrdjan]

By the way, Bush is a Methodist?  Weird.  I assumed either Episcopalian (true to his roots), or Baptist, true to his pretense.  Maybe Laura is Methodist - seems like one.

He's *technically* a Methodist (a sop to his wife IIRC). But only *technically*.
He's basically a non-denominational fundamentalist

[Filuwaúrdjan]

In other words he's out of control.

From you're perspective, yes. From his, no.

Please stop smashing Bush on his religion.

I was making a point of *not* doing that

The Church was the only thing holding Europe together at the time.

The Church was the only thing holding Europe together at the time. 

Um, I'm referring to the Catholic church as being about the only thing holding the social fabric together.  During the dark ages the weight of power was weilded by the papacy as the people had little more than their religion to turn to.

1. It's Early Mediaeval
2. "The Church" in the U.K was de facto independent from Rome (and, oddly enough, always was. Amazing how a polluted streak of water can change political dynamics really)
3. Y'know I somehow doubt that the Vikings did what the Pope told them to.
4. Quit pining over past glories that never were.

Actually, ironically, the Moslems kept the great religious books and scripts that the Christian fathers had written. You can thank the scholars in the early muslim faith for keeping europes great ancient texts and the such.

And medical books
