    Who pointed a gun at you to take your tax dollars? And this is why government should not be in the business of funding religion. I don't share your dire view of the RCC, but am against any taxpayer funding for religion/faith-based groups.

    Individual Christians certainly be involved in politics; however, the church, as an organization, has no Biblical warrant for such involvement.

    You're correct anyone in a church should want to fight for the unborn, instead of saying we shouldn't get involved. We have every right to get involved.

    If you feel this strongly about this, you should refuse to pay your taxes since some of them just might go to Planned Parenthood.

    Some people in my local church fight for the unborn and re content to let their mothers collect welfare after the unborn are born so I ask of you all: how many unwed mothers is your congregation supporting? (taking an occasional offering for the local misson doesn't count)

    Really? :laugh: I think you should stop paying them and see how far it gets you. Most likely to a warm cell with three squares a day.
