Best to leave religion out of it entirely. If religious organizations are good at charity work, give them the money to do that work. Just make sure they leave religious activities out of it when they spend that money. 37251@blogcritics.org Sun, 18 Jan 2004 14:21:19 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/01/17/234806.php#comment-37228 Apparently, the best way to fight the Taliban is to become them. Are the Salem Witch Trials around the corner? Religion-based McCarthyism? Why is it that politicians continually throw around the name Jesus like a glittering generality while ignoring the principals the Jesus represented? When will Bush actually attempt to follow the ideals the model of Jesus? Jesus didn't kill people, Mr. President. I think that Jesus never intended that he would become an oppressor. Keep religion out of government. 37228@blogcritics.org Sun, 18 Jan 2004 11:17:10 EST
