Bush voices moderate faith views in interview: Doubts the Bible is literally true

President Bush said he doesn’t know if God wanted him to be president, doubts the Bible is literally true, agrees you can believe in God and evolution simultaneously, and believes Christians and those of other faiths pray to the same God.

On ABC’s Nightline program aired December 8, Bush said he is “not so presumptuous as to be God” in knowing whether God picked him to be president. “I’m not that confident in knowing the Almighty to be able to say, ‘Yeah, God wanted me, of all the other people.’ But, you know, did God want me to be president? I don’t know.”
