Fear has always been the biggest tool for religion. If you frighten people enough, you can get them to do anything. Unfortunately. It seems to me it is the catholic hierarchy "(who thinks it knows everything there is to know about the world and how you should live)." Big gov't frightens me too, but not as much as religion and religious puppets like you frighten me. I know I've been banned from your website. And that's a badge of honor really. Galileo's ideas were banned, (I am in good company), he was forced to recant and put under house arrest by the RC church. Nazis were moved to safety by the RC church. How many thousands of little boys and girls have been sexually molested by priests? "You will know the tree by its fruits" said Jesus.

Thanks for sharing this information. For many of us, it's only through these channels that we are made aware of such things. Keep it up! Matt, sadly, I’m one of those who didn’t see this coming.

The big problem with religion is that it makes you close your mind and live in a small world without many options. The reason we can't have xtian prayer in the classroom is because our world is bigger now than 50 years ago. We have buddhist, atheist, agnostic, pagan, islamic, hindu children in that classroom!

And if you get the money and turn religious, you might be asked to return the money. Frankly, I'm very happy that my tax isn't going to help build a mormon temple, Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall, etc. Stopped being so self-centered. Love the poor.
