Therefore he has no regrets. Americans require that their politicians believe in a magical sky daddy, or at least claim to. Bush is the result of electing people with delusional fantasies. Reason and logic = Sane decisions. If people would keep that in mind when voting, the world would be a much better place for everyone. God still talks to him.
