Bloody churches all over the place where I live. I told him indoors that it concerns me that so many sinners live that close to us!

In this state one has to close one's eyes and ears to all the religious McGuffy, otherwise you'd go stark staring mad!
A column in our local paper a few days ago mentioned how certain churches in this area are telling members of their congregation to hit the road if they disagree with Republican views. Aaaaaaargh!!!!

IMO he's still in denial and so he really hasn't even reached the first rung of the ladder. But we should never give up hope! I'm sure he will be a lot less angry and will be able to cope with life better when he has faced it.

You know my persuasion Rince, and I think there should be a TOTAL seperation of church and state. It'd probably be better if the Pres was an atheist cause then he wouldn't be open to all this religious/moral horse-shit - its a load of bollocks.
Places of worship and prisons are similar, both house the innocent and the guilty and both should be self-sufficient.
Sometimes I think there is more separation of church and state in England than there is in the USA.
This is just Dubya trying to prove what a wholesome, great guy he is.
The whole reason he was/wasn't voted in in the the first place was cause he went for the evangelical vote. People shold vote politically rather than by religion/colour/race/gender/whatever.
That said I'll vote for Hilary
Girl Power!
