JFC, what the hell is it with politicians and their peckers?

Rep. Anthony Weiner says yep, it was me all along.

And in Italy the more they're "Christian" and the more immoral they are. In the moment the only top level Italian politician who was not demonstrably unfaithful to his wife is the Communist President. Should I deduce we should teach Das Kapital?

Just to be clear on 'where I'm coming from:
The line between being religious or christian and a genuine believer has become muddied. 

Take Mother Theresa for example: she was a person who had a true relationship with the God she believed in. I mention her since she's one of the few visible ones and we all know of her. I was raised in Catholicism and walked away from it because of the many inconsisties I personally experienced. Later, I came to a different understanding. 

It's also why I don't vote for many 'professing' christians. That word was coined by the people of Antioch when referring to Jesus' disciples as 'little Christs'. It then later became a way for the east to identify western religion and what christians called themselves. It really never meant what it has come to mean and I don't call myself one. 
The word 'christianity' has nothing really to do with actually following the ways of Christ. 

So, when 'I' refer to taking God out of schools (or elsewhere) I'm meaning the moral standard of a people as it should be because of a true belief in Him, not a religious presence in those places. I too get disgusted with how the 'christians' are often so much more corrupt than even atheists or communists. :)

I know that there's quite a Mother Theresa worship there in the US. I'm not going to discuss this any further. I respect your thoughts, but can't share them. I was raised Catholic, too.

I don't really know if people here in the US worship her or not. She's just the only prominent person I could think of when I was writing my thoughts, who lived what she believed.

I hope you didn't feel like I was bashing Catholics or Catholicism. It just didn't work for me because of what I experienced. There was no offense intended, I hope you know. :)

I bash Catholicism much more than you can do, and Mother Theresa for following it. To the point of putting rape victims in front of the choice between giving birth to their rapist's child and being left on the street to fend for themselves. Mother, my foot.

*I bash Carholicism...*
Ah! I see. I wasn't sure if you had been offended by what I said or not. Lol!

I may dialogue about things but its never my intent to judge, force my views, be the know-it-all, or superior to anyone or any of the like. It's the dialoguing that brings up things or perspectives I've not encountered before. Gotta keep learning. You have an interesting perspective. :)
