Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey
Along this vein did anyone else see today where the catholic friar says some teenagers seduced priests so some of the charges are results of these teenagers?
Boy is that a stretch!
We also must remind ourselves everyday that the catholic bishops are funding the War on Women. Why are religious organizations granted nonprofit status when they are using their clout, podium, literature etc. to campaign for their candidate?
Can't the atheists claim nonprofit for something? Seems fair to me.
I just started reading Christopher Hitchens' book, "God is Not Great" and it is excellent.
In the first chapter or so, he has already said quite a lot about the intersection of religion and politics, all from his very experienced and educated point of view. Highly recommended.
At 8:41 -- I just borrowed Hitchens' book from the library and am waiting til after dinner tonight to start reading it.
Funny how many families (in both Canada and the U.S.) used to never, ever discuss religion or politics except with close family members. I think I long for those days!
I can see the traffic snarls that this would cause.

ReplyDeleteThat's perfect! There should be campaign buttons with that on it. Nobody has the right to impose their religious beliefs on anybody else.

Or, as someone once said:
