Faith Based Initiatives: Buying the religious vote!
This was a brilliant move. Just like giving tax breaks to Big Business.

1. Born Again Christian Whores... Sell Their Votes For Money
the same way a streetwalker sells the "goods" too.

2. Speaking of... I think it is time the American people
started demanding accountability from that executive order. The last I heard from "The Jesus Factor" on Frontline, there was absolutely no accountability for the monies distributed by that program. Frontline had to estimate.

It was also said that that although Jewish, Muslim and other religious groups had applied for money through the program, the only groups to actually receive funding were Christian-based and interfaith groups.

Since it's my money they're distributing, I think I have a right to know exactly how much and to whom it has been distributed.

3. I now hate religion more than ever.
I think I'm going to push for a constitutional ban on religion. I won't win, but the catharsis would be worth it.

Actually, I'm sending money to Freedom from Religion and others, such as the American Atheist.

I'm done tolerating the dark-agers and they fantasy world crap.
