I am not passing judgment on those who believe in a god or in a higher power. But what I have a hard time rationalizing is the steadfast, unwavering belief that many of you contributors have in your Church. You, time and time and time again, place "The Church" ahead of objective truths. You value the Church more than you value any spiritual connection to a higher being.
Do you really feel this way?
Or are you just a product of The Church's ancient and expansive propaganda campaign. Look through the volumes of history and you will find a long and revolting history of The Church, and of all organized religion. It is hard for me to believe that my fellow humans are so easily duped into believing what you're fed.
Although there are a few sensible, reason-based comments sprinkled throughout this thread, the vast majority of comments are idiotic ramblings of "Catholics."
For those of us who value equality, integrity, morality, and factual truths, we are entirely sick of religious radicals impeding on the progress of this country. You rail against healthcare (I thought it was a Christian tenet to provide for less fortunate people?), you rail against science (But don't you all use medicine?) and you rail against homosexuals (Don't you preach love and peace?).
If you have an actual qualm with President Obama's healthcare plan, than by all means please voice your opinion. Just don't do it in the context of religion. Your religion, or at least the way you are projecting it, is clearly a front for your insecurities.

Open your eyes.
Wake up.
Read a book.
