Bush and Evidence

Humans seem to have three main systems of belief which all others are born of. (There very well be more, but it seems as though these are the most obvious and important.) They are: personal, sociological, and political. I would also like to acknowledge that these are easily intertwined. Most people would agree that it would be advantageous to come to these beliefs with a certain amount of physical evidence to back them before national policy is to be created with them in mind. Let's examine our president, George W. Bush, and how much evidence supports his beliefs.

1) Personal - Bush's most prevalent personal belief seems to be that of religion. His national policies regarding both stem-cell research and abortion are direct consequences of this belief. Does religion contain enough evidence for a law-maker, a "decider", to base his policies upon? And no, biblical miracles do not count as evidence.

2) Sociological - Bush believes that gay marriage should be outlawed because it would undermine the sanctity of marriage. First of all, human beings, specifically our Western Civilization, has defined marriage as what it is. If there are flaws within its definition, all we must do is call Webster and have him change it; definitions do not stay static. Second, does marriage today seem like something to aspire to? Britney and K-Fed. Need I say more? Thirdly, where is the evidence that gay marriage would undermine anything except the delicate psyche of prejudiced conservatives. God forbid they couldn't sleep at night because two other people - that conservatives believe are beneath them - might be happy.

3) Political - Saddam Hussein and weapons of mass destruction. I think that those two things speak for themselves.
