The Catholic Church is growing, and will come out of the recent problems stronger. I was at a Jewish burial recently, and it was so devoid of God that my wife and I were saddened. God was mentioned two times in the entire service. But Mother Earth and the Beauty of Nature and wind blowing through the trees were given many lines.

You know better than that. You know that there are non-Orthodox so-called "branches of Judaism" out there that are not Judaism at all. At least Judaism's liberal heretics left the Orthodox synagogues and started their own phony "branches." Compare this with Catholicism where (because of the stress on unity above all else) they remain inside the Church and won't get kicked out as long as they kiss the Pope's ring. Again, I don't understand why this type of unity is such a great thing.

There is something important and deeply missing in your religion. I pray that you and others find it.

It's a good thing you aren't a redneck Protestant from the rural Heartland, or that would be construed as bigotry, or maybe even--gasp!--proselytizing, which all "right thinking religions" (including Catholicism) reject. I thought only buck-toothed, snake-handling, illiterate Protestants ever engaged in such atrocious behavior.

Maybe Obama will be elected and will simply disenfranchise the bitter people of NASCAR Nation. Then you and the other non-redneck non-Protestants can make this country into a utopia.

LOL, I used to be a redneck Protestant. But I’ve always despised NASCAR. I’m more of a NFL kinda guy but I do sneak some good red wine in every once in awhile while the guys aren’t looking.
