I actually said a preacher word when I saw a news snippet of Obama's most recent verbal snafu when I yelled a HELL YEAH to the surprise of volunteers helping build our very modest mission building (ie Mountain Manna Mission) ...anyway it musta' been a godwiencidence' that Obama's words came when we were gathered in a tax exempt meeting etc (or could be if my volunteers wanted to write off up to five thousand dollars due to ABOTC* Churches tax exempt status. Anyway here is the stuff; WASHINGTON - In politics, the timing is often the message. On Jan. 20 - three days before the annual March for Life - the Obama administration announced its final decision that Catholic universities, hospitals and charities will be compelled to pay for health insurance that covers sterilization, contraceptives and abortifacients. >>>>snip to>>> Catholic leaders are still trying to process the implications of this ambush. The president had every opportunity to back down from confrontation. In the recent Hosanna-Tabor ruling, a unanimous Supreme Court reaffirmed a broad religious autonomy right rooted in the Constitution. Obama could have taken the decision as justification for retreat. http://www.theindependent.com/opini...cle_b4f90af0-4c5e-11e1-8bc2-001871e3ce6c.html Did this help Oh-dumbo-mama' or an even more distant 'hope for', will his words and the inevitable defense of them consolidate radical activist atheists into a voting block? Personally I think it will harm him (fingers crossed). With the current crop of near unelectable conservative talking heads (read as; GOP religious orientated leaders)we need all the help we can get. notes; * For the newbies A.B.O.T.C Church is a church that I founded for several reasons. We need more new churches with non main line christian doctrine like the world needs more unwanted puppies and cats. However, it exists primarily for support and protection of Mountain Manna Mission and uses its 501c tax exemption to support both MMM and MOTC. reva
What he has done has nothing much to do with what you seem to think. Why do you think Obama is in full reverse? The reason religious folks are not happy is that Obama began this mess by violating the church and state clause. I agree! And I suggest the federal government get out of my and other church's post haste. Reva
Explain just one thing for me: Are you catholic? Are you religious fundamentalist? Does your avatar reflect your love for crusades? <<< MODERATOR EDIT: OFF TOPIC >>>
…No, are you? I am educated of most things Catholic tho'~. No are you ? No my avatar reflects my love of God, the true owner of everything, he even claims you, me and our rotten prez, Obama! FYI, God loves Israel more than most things temporal. One more thing concerning the crusades; The first crusade was more righteous than Muslim atrocities of the same era, the other Crusades ? Turn on your TV, they haven't ended IMO. <<< MODERATOR EDIT: OFF TOPIC QUOTE AND REPLY REMOVED >>> Reva
Let me see if i got it: Your christian god loves israel and genocidal jews more than anything? But you think crusades were righteous
"Both radicalism and maliciousness are at work in Obama's decision - an edict delivered with a sneer. It is the most transparently anti-Catholic maneuver by the federal government since the Blaine Amendment was proposed in 1875 - a measure designed to diminish public tolerance of Romanism, then regarded as foreign, authoritarian and illiberal. Modern liberalism has progressed to the point of adopting the attitudes and methods of 19th-century Republican nativists." http://www.theindependent.com/opini...cle_b4f90af0-4c5e-11e1-8bc2-001871e3ce6c.html I agree with this assessment USA). Obama is using the federal government to interfere with church business, a clear violation of our (the USA's) constitution. Reva
