Surely it's more important to help the needy rather than be prevented from doing so on some vague ideological grounds?






And Gary, it is your opinion that Focus on the Family is about protecting and preserving families. You know very well that it is anti-American to force religion down someone's throat who might not want it. Please don't talk to me about Focus on the Family being gung ho America. It isn't, or it would embrace the defining document of our nation, the Constituion, which it does not support. FotF is about theocracy, not a democratic republic.
I think you're getting a bit confused on that.

Why do you think FoF supports a "theocracy"??

Do you understand the meaning of that word? And do you ascribe it to anyone who bases their political beliefs on their religious faith??

Do you believe that Christians and people of other faiths should have their political will subordinated to atheists for example?
