GW Bush, I think is a hypocrite. So are all conservative christians. Christianity is based on Jesus, a liberal. I mean, he died for the world's sins, he insisted change in the laws of the time, gave to the poor as much as he could, how much more liberal can you be? The bible says plenty of things, including how there should be no gay marriages, but then again it also says we can't eat shrimp.

You can argue both ways about the Bible. If enough people believe the Bible means one thing, than for all practical purposes it does for them, and it doesn't matter what anyone else says. Same goes for any religion, if they think that their religion tells them to do something, and believe it strongly, It doesn't matter whether the religion actually says one thing or another, for all practical purposes, Whatever they believe the relgion says is actually what it says for them.
There are several different groups in he same religion(sunnis, shiites, etc. for muslims for example), all with slightly different beliefs, and there are plenty of people in all of them who think their version is right in all of them.
