All Catholics (and other Christians) PLEASE READ
Advertisements [?]
We need to start with our religion. If you are a member of an organized religion, does it reflect the views of Christ and God or do they reflect the views of the republican party. Are you supporting and giving money to the republicans and conservatives by giving to your church?

For example the Catholic Church says you are sinning if you vote for any candidate who doesn't hate and want banned;

Stem Cell Research
Allowing people to die with dignity
A women's rights over her own body
Cloning and other science
Gay marriage


Now that is not the teachings of Christ. He had a lot of important messages to give us and these were not it. He never mentioned one of these issues. Now I can understand that we have our faith and wish to remain involved in organized religion. However I think we need to make sure that we belong to a religion that puts the teachings of Christ and God ahead of the desires of right wing conservatives. I have been looking into this Christian Church (the one that major networks banned their commercials because they spoke out against oppression and intolerance). They seem to far better reflect the teachings of Christ then the Catholics and many other Christian religions.

If you are going to give money to and support a religion, at least make sure they are not republican party parading as a religion.
