3. Since the church is trying to force its dogma into civil law
it is absolutely begging to be taxed as a political organization.
It's time for them to get a visit from the tax man, the only person in the world who can possibly explain the difference between church and state to them.
Oh, for f*ck's sake.
First of all CatholicVote.com is not an organization that is actually affiliated with the Church itself; granted it is a group of Catholics who are attempting to garner support for a cause that the Church supports, but that group itself gets NO MONEY from the Church.
SECOND, I have never been told in church whom I am to vote for. I have been encouraged to make myself aware of the candidate's stand on issues, to make myself familiar with the Catholic Church's stance on said issues, to vote, and to vote with my conscience, but never have I heard from the pulpit that I am to vote a certain way or for a certain person.
THIRD, the abortion issue isn't just a Catholic issue, it's an issue taken up by many other religious organizations as well. I have yet to find a Christian church that says abortion is okay. To blame it all on Catholics is just stupid, not to mention shows how uneducated Warpy is.
Gah. These people f*cking piss me off.
