Jesus: "Honor your father and mother." (Matthew 19:19)
George: "[George H. W. Bush] is the wrong father to appeal to for advice. The wrong father to go to, to appeal to in terms of strength. There's a higher Father that I appeal to." (As quoted by CBS News, April 2004)

Jesus: "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." (Matthew 6:5-6)
George: "Prayer is a vital part of our national life." (Washington, DC, May 2002)

Jesus: "False Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect." (Mark 13:21-23)
George: "I trust God speaks through me." (Lancaster County, PA, July 2004)

And so on.
I searched the entire New Testament, and nowhere could I find a passage in which Jesus advocates for a life of arrogance, selfishness, dishonesty, or greed.
I'd say it's time to send George back to bible school -- or back to Texas!
