Reply #31: well that is how the breakdown of a Constitution starts

by people wanting government welfare to continue their religious work.

and, another aspect is that by receiving government welfare to preach their religion, they free up money to fund their global missions.

and there is NO oversight so far to the churches who have benefitted so far from Bush's executive decisions to hand out our money to persons like Pat Robertson who was given, I think it is, $500,000 for his charities.

This is not what the founders of this country had in mind when they deliberately left "god" out of the Consitution.


Government programs for the poor, like public education, have been systematically programmed to fail over time, so that political desires could be fulfilled by a person like George Bush seeking to use other people's money, not his rich buddies money, for sure, which is parked in some Cayman island, to spread the Christian religion.

There has been already, a removal of funding from one program I know, that is secular and that has been successful for years . Under the excuse that it failed to fill out the paper work properly, funding was denied by the Bush administration.

One well meaning person who may have changed his mind about this initiative is Robert DiLulio--who was orginally in charge of this.

Many people suspect, with good reason, it will be the Christian religion that will get the most money from this if Bush has his way. And, indirectly, it will lead to the same type of scorn we see aimed at
George Bush by brave people not afraid to point out that a religion or a church can be just as shallow and just as greedy as anything else that wants free money from people no matter how much "good" they claim to do.
