"But the churches will take care of them"
Sure. Why have health care, retirement, 401k's, social security, etc., when we have all these churches? Talk about Socialism. Problem is, it doesn't work that way. Otherwise we'd have no homeless or sick people. Dog, I hate that argument.

2. And assimilate them, and demand 10% of life-time earnings, and tell them how to vote...
The churches will take care of them all right!

3. Like they always did -- churchyard cemetaries.
With the added feature today of claiming to care right up to the point of birth.

5. they don't and didn't that is why the government had to step in-
history has proven this-

It's a nice "concept" but in reality Churches cannot/do-not adequately care for those in need.

6. My mother was widowed young in The Great Depression. The
Catholic church did nothing for her,except collect money from her for it's own use.

Sorry if I offended anyone,but FDR did more to help her than the church.

7. you don't get it, do you?
They used her money to pray for her, and they prayed so hard that FDR actually managed to help her out!

:sarcasm:
