Of course you're funny, you said so yourself. The fact that you chose to get defensive about what you posted says volumes about you, not me, I just pointed it out.
Wow.
The increasing income inequality and lower taxes prevent, even in a growing economy, infrastructure work or assistance to the homeless.
That is why you people shouldn't dismiss churches. The government isn't the solution. You people think the government is the divinity, if the government can give you it, the government can take it away.
And churches can't take it away? Please........
Correct. An individual church may end supporting a particular charity or cause and move onto another but snother will take its place. The church as a whole will always be found helping the less fortunate in ways that you will never know unless you are directly involved.
People are being taught to look to the government for help instead of the church. Government is all knowing and knows best is an easy sell these days with all the church scandals going on... too many people making big $$ in the church now and that leads to corruption, just like in the government.
I have not always been a agnostic church questioner. My sister runs a food bank out of her church. It is right next door to the Head Start center that is also located at the church. Both receive funds from outside sources besides the church and both could function without the church but the congregations support is great. The issue I have is organizations like the Catholic Church where their mythology over rules the science and they tell people in Africa that condoms do not stop AIDS so don't wear them. It is a sin against God. That my friend is fucked up. It is evil. And there lies the problem. if we take the moneys that churches are given and then redirect those funds to NGO's and other organizations, you will see the impact without as much bullshit from mythology.
That is not a new phenomenon. The largest, most influential and wealthiest organization in the world is the Catholic Church. They still can't get their shit together because of the doctrines that are millennium old and the patriarchal power structure that emboldens them.
Sounds like the democrats.
The Catholic Church does have its issues but its doctrines are not it. It's the people, like in any organization, that cause the problems. Like I said.. too many people making big $$ and add power to that.
I would never suggest someone not use a condom to protect against STDs.. what your source for that story?
Did you read the second article? Doesn't exactly make your point, in fact the article never states that the Catholic Church says not to use a condom.
