		<description>It is always said that the state is separated from religion but as you can see, a lot of religious sectors especially the Catholics seems to be intervening at anything on the political side of the fence. There must be a reason for it.  Do you think they&#039;re doing this because the political sector is intervening with the Laws of God? Take for example, abortion. it&#039;s always been a mortal sin to kill someone and abortion is killing someone! another example, in a minor context, in the medical field. Guys with man boobs or Gynecomastia can now opt for surgery to get rid of this malady. However, there are many other ways on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.man-boobs.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;how to loose man boobs&lt;/a&gt; other than surgery. But because of convenience, people would prefer to &quot;slice&quot; something &quot;off their chest&quot; to get rid of the problem.  An unprepared and unmarried woman who got pregnant would prefer the easy way out by abortion and political leaders see it as a convenient way. What a waste. So, is religion intervening with politics? Yes, and it&#039;s because the laws of man is intervening with the Laws of God, period.</description>

		<description>Maybe, though I doubt it.  I have worked in health care for quite some time and have never seen someone denied care.  There are health clinics and preventive check ups cost no more than an annual cell phone bill (actually quite a bit less) and certainly less than a pack a day cigarette habit.

Ignoring the fact that we all die, the mortality rate here is quite low so there would be relatively few people who would get a disease that was caused by lack of preventative care.  Actually, come to think of it, a wellness check up is cheaper than an abortion.

Think about it, if it costs $200 then it is only $200 a year and people can generally afford that if  they have their priorities right.  Since the really poor have access to government programs already (there are 10 million people eligible who have not even signed up) they would be covered and the people above that can afford their own.

Using this logic though, we should kill people when they retire so they do not get sick and cost us money.  Of we should kill retards, Down&#039;s babies, those born without limbs, because they are a burden and might not get the care they need.

Join the military, free health care for the family.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m pretty much anti-death all around (death penalty, abortion, animals, ect.), but maybe that&#039;s 40 million less people with the chance to die of some medical complication that could have been treated better with preventative care if only that had the means to get it...</description>

		<description>I think there are many people who believe that you should vote for an anti abortion candidate, regardless of party.  I believe it is an important issue but it needs to be considered with all the others that are out there. 

As far as it goes, Christian organizations seem divided in who they support but will vote republican if abortion is their biggest concern.  

There might be bigger fish to fry but we have murdered 40 million children and are ensuring that our species will not have enough people to sufficiently repopulate.

This does not bode well for the Democrats with all the little libs being sucked out of the womb...</description>

		<description>Who have you seen speaking out against what the Bishops did?

I think what they did is much better than the handful of cases of Protestant pastors or church leaders telling the congregations who they should vote for in the last few cycles.  I haven&#039;t seen many people say this is just absolutely wrong but I have seen people suggest that these churches are crossing the line and risking their tax status for going to far and almost becoming a political machine. 

I think people place a lot of trust and faith in their church leaders, so anything that motivates them to get involved in politics on that level is a good thing.

Sad thing is that there is an idea that if you&#039;re Christian you need to vote Republican because they&#039;re pro-life and blah blah.  Sometimes people just have bigger fish (or tofu) to fry when it comes to political issues and faith.</description>

		<description>Their criminal activity is one thing and should certainly be addressed.  I would think taxing any religious entity would open a Pandora&#039;s box...</description>

		<description>Let the humanistic, immigration-loving RCC talk all it wants.
Tax it is all we ask. That&#039;s not to much to ask for a bunch of &#039;preverts&#039;.

Is it?</description>
