I dont see how a chid of 3 could be "saved" by Jesus for disobeying his mother. The worst part about all of this, to me at least, is that the people who are such devout followers raise their children to act like this, they can vote, and they influence people's lives. I dont care that someone has a particular belief. but it shouldn't effect me or anyone else in society.
why would you vote for one person over the other then? i don't think your opinion should effect me either. so don't vote. thanks.

liberals and their church (government) have 1000000000x more effect on your life.

religion = choice
government = force.

which is worse?

i hate liberals

I hate the religious right, and how our religious president has been handing federal funds to religious institutions.

"I'mma answer this question biblely". :1

I guess it doesn't matter if he's raised an idiot, as long as he's going to heaven and preaching in front of Wal-Mart while his mom is buying Jesus Freak Monthly and Grits.

Allowing churches to oversee and spend federal funds is a conflict in seperation of church and state.

Yeah I really wasn't seeing his point.

Terrorists and criminals pay taxes too. Let's fund their organizations.

We first need to focus on seperating our economy from the state.

are you comparing churches in the US to terrorists and criminals? if you do this you lose all credability and about 99% of people wouldn't listen to a thing you say after this

this type of statement puts you in the "kook" category

Sorry I should have known you wouldn't make the connection.

Church, terrorists, criminals, etc etc = all people that pay taxes
Church, terrorists, criminals, etc etc = all people that should not recieve federal funding funding, separation of state/religion for church, and obvious reasons for the other two

Here was the point, you seem to have missed it: just because someone pays taxes doesn't entitle them to federal funding.

BTW, you've been in the "kook" category for quite a while.
