To be honest I think it's somewhat insulting to even minded religious people to make statements like he's crazy, etc, because he has faith. That's not fair. A person can be deeply religious, put faith in prayor, and still make rational decisions. If the decisions aren't rational then there's your issue, not the fact that he drops the name God from time to time.

A few things.
Is it not height of hypocracy then to condem nations who are theologies?
Also, would you be comfortable if someone who were Jewish were using their religious beliefs to guide the nation? Or how about if David Koresh were President?
Personally I am not comfortable knowing that the President of the United States, the supreme commander of the most powerful military in the world, thinks he is appointed by God and that he has been spoken to by Him. The fact that George Bush belongs to a faction of the Christian movement which believes in the Book fo Revelation and that we are living in the finals days (End Days) of the world, and that he admits that is his "base" for his "gut decisions", well that doesn't sit right. In fact, that should scare the hell out of most people as this guy has the means to bring about End Days. Faith can be a good thing. But faith is not a proper response to complex issues that affect billions of people.
