Bush's Faith-Based Changes Scrutinized |
Like a disease, Dubya's faith based intiatives are spreading
throughout the government.
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/0817-06.htm
There is 'faith based' activity in at least 10 agencies, even the
Department of Agriculture. From the article:
"Joe Conn, a spokesman for Americans United for the Separation of
Church and State, called the new study "very alarming."
"This administration seems obsessed with faith-based solutions for
everything,'' Conn said. "What they don't seem to worry about is the
Constitution.''
Even the Department of Agriculture now has its own office of
faith-based initiatives, Conn noted.
"Maybe they're going to pray for rain,'' he said. "

new facts is the sign of the rational and intelligent. The inability to do
so is the hallmark of the dimwitted and the fanatic. This applies not only
to science and philosophy, but also to politics.-

Maybe they're going to allow church organizations to participate in food
banks and agricultural development programs.

I mean, hey, I'm an atheist who is in favor of separation of church and
state but let's at least accuse the government of what they're actually
doing.

Lighten up, Fred. I believe that the author of that comment was just
trying to be ironic.

I think he's overreacting.
