Liberal women should write a book entitled............

"THE MANY WAYS TO KILL YOUR OWN CHILD" by the liberal women of America.

Then they could get on public message boards and defend their sick actions. Wome that kill their own children are truely sick.

Churches and politics

The Church has always been involved in politics. Our country was founded on Biblical principles and because of those principles people like Aura Dawn Veirs have freedom to give their opinion. I understand her concern about the unwed mothers and women in brothels who conceive. It is a shame that they are saddled with the responsibility of a child without a father. The Church is there to help them. Many people want to adopt children who cannot have them biologically. Killing babies is not the best way to handle the situation. Life is precious. God says so. Pastors do not "make" their members vote a certain way. They present God's love for humanity and the people decide for themselves. Abstinance still works, but people must have the power of Jesus in their lives to overcome lust. It can't be done without Him.

Hey all of you Obama Worshippers

Obama said on national tv that there would be no public funding for abortions. He has since lied and secured future campaign money from his frieds at planned "death" parenthood. Liberals love this lying clown because he is their puppet but the rest of us know him as the most corrupt president in history.

LOOK AT HOW SICK YOU PEOPLE ARE.......

liberal women defending the brutal deaths of their own children. Call it womens rights, or disquise it however you want, you have killed your own child and that makes you the sickest of all people.

Ad shows how churches use tithes for political action

Churches used to lose religious tax exemption when they took political action. Then Congress, packed with believers, changed the law to give churches more "liberty." That is always the first step to deconstruction of a republic and we must demand repeal of that subversive law. Churches claim they exist to help the poor, but this ad is really against abortion. Every unwed poor mom is like a pauperized relative dumped on the doorsteps of taxpayers. She can have as many children as she wants, being sure not to use contraception or abortion because that's what her church tells her to do. The "maternal raid" on taxpayers is a revolting concept. Some conceptions occur in brothels, where men go TO ESCAPE COSTS OF FATHERHOOD. So it's also a Deadbeat Dad raid on public treasuries. Except for churches, there are no other groups in the world that are such constant cheaters. They subvert our election system by having entire congregations vote the same way.. always to benefit the church.

Is religion a kind of expensive psychoanalysis?

On Nov. 8, 2009, a celebrity mentioned several years of very expensive care by a psychiatrist. It startled me when the doctor said patients like being able to spend so much on it. I had not thought of that. Maybe preachers are doing some kind of psychiatric treatment on people who say they are "lonely, in need of personal connection with Christ, and longing for a better world." They're never happy "here on earth" but "long to go home to Father God." There's no denying that churches amass vast wealth while "saving sick souls." Think of that..having a "sick soul." As a Depression Kid, I learned never to leave anything on the plate. Our family and neighbors did "make do or do without." As an atheist, I never waste money paying a preacher to tell me what to do. I worked since l941, saved, & made investments in new scientific technologies. Instead of enriching a church, I have enough assets so I don't need to pray for a new car. My properties are free & clear. Is it possible that neurotics are attracted to religion & are showing off wealth when they give big donations to preachers, as if to psychiatrists? What are your ideas on this?

Church income depends on compulsory parenthood

Women are the only source of new tithers to replace those who die or lose faith. Until 1973, our government enforced church law that banned abortion. Since that year and Roe v Wade, Americans are exercising their right to regulate family size. We are not going back to the bad old days. The GOP attracts funding from corporations that demand cheap labor. High school dropouts never learn skills for high-pay jobs and the kids become cheap labor. The GOP and fake Democrats try to elect Ban-Abortion public officials. Some of them can appoint judges. The GOP and a few fake Democrats try to repeal Roe v Wade but it's not about "privacy.' It's about MOBILITY of women, their right to move around, to go where they want to go, including Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers. Currently, taxpayers are stuck with paying $500,000 for one poor unwed mom and her un-aborted conception. To survive and probably have another "fatherless" child, she gets that much in welfare, ADC, food stamps, free health care and subsidized housing. We need tax paid abortion to take this terrible burden off taxpayers. Ban=Abortion exists for one reason, to get, keep and increase church income.
