true unless they get the gov't to part part costs as a licenced open door charity, or if they buy and build on some kinds of land, or if they have friends in state gov't that arrange "special" rates on the loan that can be waved if the church does something for the representative.
And now with Bush's new religious cabinet thingy, there will be more and more of it.
Yes they think that what they are doing is right, but so did the people that killed "witches" and the people that handed out soap and the nazi camps. The KKK also believes that what they are going is right.
belief is not always a good thing.

i am soooo shameful...THANK you for making me realize how horrid I am...bad bad girl.
I am kidding on that...anyhoo.
I DON'T CARE. Everyone in their life has choices. They choose their life. If they think they are good and wonderful, fan freaking tastic. It is not MY job to coddle and encourage irritating behavior. And how would they feel if I SHOWED UP ON THEIR doorstep with a copy of the satanic bible and propaganda week after week after week, forcing my heathenism on THEM at the ass crack of dawn? They would probably call the police. I would feel like I'm doing a kind and wonderful thing introducing them to the world of anton. They wouldn't. Same when I have to drag my tired ass down the stairs in the morning only to find a copy of the watchtower and the same schmuck in shirt and tie that i turned away LAst week. NOBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO FORCE ANYTHING ON ANYONE, and if being righteously irritated by them DELIBERATELY putting up a picture that I HAVE TO LOOK AT just to get to my front door makes me SHAMEFUL then I accept the badge gladly! I don't live in a goddamned communal, I live in an apartment comples. And what of their behavior of stickering my door with jeezus? That, dear, is TRESSPASSING. I didn't paste anything on THEIR ***** window. NO. I LEFT THEM ALONE! Those NICE BOYS THAT STUCK OFFENSIVE PICTURES OF CHRIST ALL OVER MY DOOR. I LEFT _THEM_ ALONE!
I've got more to say but it is my fiance's birthday and we are leaving! I'll be back! *snarl*

Well, I can not say that I feel ashamed in the least. Maybe it is because I was brought up from the age of 4 in a Pentecostal Apolstolic church, so yes, I do know the "Go out in the highways and byways and compel them to come in", and the "Come out from the world and be ye seperate" scenerio. The way I had it rammed down my throat on a daily base is what is shameful. Having to wake up and go to school everyday wearing dresses below the knee, no make-up, no jewelry, not even a hair barette to keep it out of my eyes, and being tortured by other students for it ..is shameful.
Being denied Trick or Treating at age 7 becuase it is "satanic" is shameful.
Being denied a Christmas Tree and lights in the home as a child because it is "paganistic"... is shameful.
Being denied friends outside the church becasue they were bad influences is shameful.
Being told at age 8 I was going to hell for lying and sitting up in bed every night scared that the devil was coming to get me...is shameful.
Having a Ulcer at 14 and numerous nerve problems due to the constant reminder that Jesus was going to come back (the rapture) and I was going to be left behind and have to take the mark of the beast, and die and go to hell anyways..is shameful
Being told by certain family members that I am demon possesed because I sway towards the goth culture and other areas.. is shameful.
Being told that I could not listen to the radio because they had subliminal satanic messages when played backwards...is shameful.
Being at your job and having your boss who is "saved" tell you that she would rather you didn't have a pentegram sitting on your desk, but yet she can have a jesus picture, little scripture texts, and what not all over her office...is shameful
I could go on and on and on, and all of this is just the milder case scenerios!
I understand what you said to a degree, and you must have a very large heart, but I just can't find any room for any of them in mine, nor can I say that I feel shameful in any way.
