"Keep my God out of your politics "
Edited on Fri Jan-11-08 08:37 AM by hedgehog
I'm a Catholic. You got a problem with that? I'm a Christian too. You other guys got a problem with that?




"The United States is not and has never been a Protestant nation or a Christian nation, despite some of the claims made in the course of our history by Protestants ignorant of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights"

7. Frisbeeterian!
Love it. :)

I'm an atheist myself, but I've been leaning towards my uncle's religion - he's a Clausian.
He believes in Santa Claus, and the holy trinity (Santa, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy).
And then when you die, you're frozen until your sins are forgiven by Santa - then you come back as an elf! :)

5. My quandary
They are so simple in their complexity or vice versa.

Are they just plain old run of the mill ignorant of the constitution or is it deliberate and are the sheep taught to be ignorant? In either case, their ultimate goal is to either destroy the constitution or rewrite it so only "they" have any liberties. They are enemies of the constitution plain and simple.

11. Greeley speaks for many of us.
And I appreciate his view from a Catholic perspective. There are many Catholics who find the public statements by politicians on their personal faith life distasteful. I realize the media likes to know this kind of thing. I liked Kerry's way of answering that kind of question. He talked about social justice and that type of thing that properly IS the realm of politics.
