"I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn’t do my job."
-- George W. Bush

Mark Twain would not have considered President Bush's piety to be genuine or unique. In 1905 Twain wrote: "There was never a century nor a country that was short of experts who knew the Deity’s mind and were willing to reveal it." In addition to the neocons who are running the Pentagon, it also sounds like Twain had Lt. Gen. William Boykin pegged too. While describing a battle against a Muslim warlord in Somalia in 1993, Boykin said, "I knew my God was bigger than his. I knew that my God was a real God and his was an idol." Imagine Mark Twain presiding over a White House prayer breakfast with this petition....
