Namely that most things lodged against those who are republicans is due to the kind of religioun they espouse.

This is not to say that I personally agree with the Catholic Church and it's many flaws, merely that I am dubious of your claim that those here attack your religion, though this complaint seems to surface about once a month, almost every time with the same complaint and argument that the Christian based religions are not, in and of themselves, wrong.

Few here disagree with the good that religion can do. Yet few can argue that those who have siezed control of the Republican party are those who are the worst of the lot for religious zealotry and do not espouse a single Christian value yet act more like antichristians. As the saying goes, the devil is most dangerous with the words of the gospel on his lips.

Sadly though it is a human failing to lump a broad group as these are the visable Christians who control the media and claim to be under constant assault against carefully chosen and sculpted snippets of the bible that are very similar to the actions of those who argued God wanted us to keep slaves.

Sadly though,you are wrong to call them the the .001 .01 .1 1 or even 10% that is visable, even statistics can trace the number of people who go to church and the number of people who vote republican to having a direct correlation. The problem with any religion is that when there is a leader who 'preaches' to the people they have an incredible power with God behind them making them difficult to argue against as any priest could theoretically be called a biblical scholar, even when they don't get the single, overriding message that the teachings should cover.

Be good to yourself and each other!
