Farewell, President Bush, and thank you for all you did for the Iraqi people. So many new Christians have come to know God there thanks to your efforts in removing Saddam Hussein. Over a million Bibles have been sent there and they still can't keep up with the demand.

Would I be correct in assuming these Bibles are being distributed free?
Lavatory paper, on the other hand, costs.
Yes, Dubya, thank you for ensuring the needless death of hundreds of Iraqis, and for making sure they can look forward to years and years of such an unstable government and society. Yes, thank you very, very much, Dubya.
Farewell, President Bush, and thank you for all you did for the Iraqi people. So many deaths have come to them because of your failed policies and illegal war. Thanks to your efforts in removing Saddam Hussein, the entire face of the Middle East, and the global economy is changed forever. And not for the better. Over a million Bibles have been sent there and nobody gives a shit because they just want their children to live another day.
Fixed.
Oh even without a citation I don't doubt that a million Bibles have been sent. I do doubt, however, that there have been any significant conversions.
But this is what Christians do best really, invade countries with guns and bombs and forcibly convert them. Same thing Muslims do, Christians are just more organized about it.
sleekie: Bill O'Rly is the submitter, not the fundie. EndIsNear is the fundie.
And what exactly did Bush do for the Iraqi people other than kill them?
1 million dead Iraqis.
3 million displaced/fled Iraqis.
Natural resources given away to corporations.
40-100% Unemployment.
No hospitals, few schools, scarce electricity, food shortages.
Yeah, that's a victory for Jesus.
We're slowly and ineptly trying to rebuild Iraq's infrastructure to where it was before the "liberation," but hey, they now have over a million Bibles. We have to have priorities, no?
There used to be a viable Christian community in Iraq, the Mandaeans. They survived both the Islamic majority and Saddam Hussein. They had kept alive a tradition going back almost to the beginning of the Christian era.
They are "dead or fled" now. Yeah, thanks a fucking lot, Dubya.
I haven't heard a word about a massive conversion in Iraq. When they talk about the Bible being the best-seller ever I wonder if they include all the freebies they give out, the motel/hotel Gideons, and the ones hey send all over the world. Wonder how much medicine, food, clean water, clothes and shelter could have been provided? Churches and groups may have given them out but somebody had to pay for the printing process.
I wonder if the demand for bibles would remain high if there were a serious effort to meet the demands for toilet paper, firelighters and tobacco papers?
Actually I wonder if there is any actual demand for bibles at all?
Under Saddam Hussein, Christians were at least tolerated and at least one held a prominent position in his government (Tariq Aziz is Christian).
Now, Christians are persecuted in Iraq.
Farewell, President Bush and thank you for all you did for the Iraqi people.

(he's got pretty good reflexes for a halfwit)
I personally would have thought that to the tune of 5,000,000,000,000 dollars, we would get something better than a few lousy bibles...
Edit: Of course his reflexes are honed to perfection. He's been hunting with Cheney!

It's a humanitarian catastrophe with millions of people at risk and they're sending Bibles.
Half a million Bibles have been sent there.
Half a million Bibles .
This is something about Christians (whom I really mostly like) that pisses me off no end. They've got so many resources at their disposal and they brag about how they spend so many resources on converting people to Christianity - resources that could be spent on prevention and treatment of victims of crime, poverty, natural disasters and so on.
Missionary traditions ftl.

Oh, fuck.
But I don't want it to not be a troll :(

By "come to know God," he means "died and met their Maker."
The alleged reason for invading was to remove (non-existent) weapons of mass destruction. When that didn't pan out, it was to remove Saddam Hussein. When that accomplished nothing, our reason was to assure a democratic election. When the democratically elected government proved to be as useful as a fart in a rain barrel, the reason for our presence was to reduce warfare between Sunnis and Shi'ites. And on, and on, and on. In the interval we killed 100,000 Iraqis (including children), destroyed the country's infrastructure, needlessly sacrificed more than 4,000 of our soldiers and marines, and maimed tens of thousands of others. My suggestion is, not to put too fine a point upon it, stick the million Bibles up your ass.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
