[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] As I understand it, giving money to an organization which is based on religious beliefs is not the same as establishing a religion. It certainly isn't showing preference towards religious organizations, as secular organizations have been the sole collectors of this same money. (It's not NEW money, he's just changing the rules to allow religious organizations to make use of previously existing money.) This is mainly to make the best use of the fact that the majority of USAmericans still hold some form of belief in the Great Potato. Surprisingly, I'm not against that. Now, if they make religious acceptance or indoctrination PART of the requirements to receive aid, THEN it's time for open revolt. I've had to rethink my position on religious-based aid programs recently, since it looks like the best way for my fiance and I to afford an apartment, at least for the short term, is to make use of the Catholic Charities assistance we've been offered. (She's Catholic, but not especially so, and I'm.. well, you know me.) Mostly because there aren't any dogmatic strings attatched. [/QB][/QUOTE]
