"God" may or may not forgive SUBSIDY Sam, but I imagine his SUBSIDY and Tax Exemption nourished cartels WILL forgive him and themselves. But there's a whole lot of INNOCENT people, including 10s of thousands of CHILDREN, who have suffered and died, JUST LIKE JESUS, for ChurchCo's sins and LIES, including **OUR** soldiers.

So, forgiven or not, Sam, that only matters to you and yours, people are STILL DEAD and MAIMED, what are you going to do about the harm caused by you and your financial backers,

Church/CoC

"being judgmental, unloving, focused on ourselves, lacking in mercy, hypocritical"

and it's an implicit part of Republican "civil-servant" job descriptions.

Kevin Yoder clearly demonstrated during his campaign that his management style is "It's easier to apologize than it is to get permission."

you are so right!!!!! he perfectly outlined the GOP personality.

Amazing catch! :)

probably elsewhere.

the prayer might have a totally different meaning.

They are shit. They do not represent faith. They represent Republicanism, with all its evil. Nothing else.

money grubbing jerks, I wish I could develop a sense of compassion for these RW fundamentalists, but I always come up empty. They have ruined many lives because of their sick, misguided "religiosity" and I am fed up with their selfishness and stupidity.

:hi:

I realize there are no others to attend, and lots of Dems with families attend these rather than not have any church at all, and it's too bad, really. It's a shame. The separation between church and state in this country is almost non-existent, and because churches are the Propaganda arm of the Repuke Party, they've been quite successful.

I have ZERO respect for American churches. I exempt the exceptions. But let's not forget: EXCEPTIONS ARE EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULE. Christian churches in the U.S. are Republican bastions.

admiration societies.

I chatted with a young mother the other day, in the IHop, when we overheard another young mother complaining loudly enough to hear about bullying in her son's PRE-SCHOOL and in her other son's regular school. One of the things the young lady I talked to said was how dismayed she was seeing her church (in what I recognized as the logical extension of M&M->Pizza-party religious brainwashing) congregational sub-groups continuously voting to have minister so-and-so from some other church somewhere come and speak on whatever for several hundred to a few thousand dollars. She had said to them that this did not serve those in need in any way that actually helped them and wondered if the poor were really just window dressing for her church.

It happens that I have also been around a minister leading a small church that was in process of being absorbed by larger churches. I actually could not help over-hearing him on the phone in this process and then later, when the deed was done, the same guy coming in with a bluetooth on his ear, "counseling" members of the group he was made part of, including praising "the Lord" that such-and-such very problematic young man was steered into the recruiter's office, because he was "beyond our help". TRUE STORY.

To me, this all adds up to: they have un-qualified people doing things they don't understand, in day-care in their churches and schools, and then sending their failures off to kill, or help to kill people, for Wars 'r' U.S, where they often hook-up with spouses who are ignorant enough and inexperienced enough to just repeat the whole frakking cycle, usually with at least one divorce along the way. So much for the "sanctity" of marriage! :puke:

than to allow churches to continue doing the damage they have been doing for 31 years.

I am in shock, even after 31 years of watching this crap go on.

ready to move into FAITH BASED INITIATIVES BIG TIME!

those who don't have what it takes to do what they are doing.

And having what it takes begins with the intelligence to understand the situation, as we so woefully learned in Iraq and at so many other levels where "the cream" rose until it putrified.
