[Logic n' Reason]

I think the future owner of the proposed strip club (or for that matter, any business that runs afoul of any religion's creed), should read up on history. Religions have made a life out of actively opposing those who do not "toe the line" with respect to the religion's creed.

Back in the day it was, "believe as we do, or die!" Now it's "believe as we do, or we'll break you financially, and disgrace you in the community in which you've chosen to live and work!" Not death, to be sure, but not too far from it.

IMHO: I demand, "RAPTURE NOW"!

Sister Carol Keehan, President of the US Catholic Health Association, is why we have Obamacare.

Sister Carol Keehan, President of the Catholic Health Association, has been awarded with one of the 21 pens used by President Barack Obama on Tuesday to sign the health care bill.

Sister Keehan, who strongly supported the controversial health care bill despite the opposition of the U.S. bishops, was joined in receiving presidential pens by some of the most strongly pro-abortion members of the Congress: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid; Senator Dick Durbin, majority whip; Max Baucus, chairman of the Finance Committee; Senators Tom Harkin and Christopher Dodd; House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer; James Clyburn, majority whip; George Miller, chairman of the Education committee; Henry Waxman, chairman of Energy and Commerce; Sander Levin, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee; John Dingell and Charles Rangel, former chairman of the Ways and Means Committee.

Do we have a God-given right to do evil?

Is that logical or reasonable?

The only way to reasonably advocate the legal tolerance of a particular evil is that the criminalization of a particular evil will result in greater evil.

In this case, I don’t see many evils resulting from a community banning a nefarious strip club, but I can see many evils resulting from permitting it.

“Religions have made a life out of actively opposing those who do not “toe the line” with respect to the religion's creed.”

So has obozo, so have the Democrats. Choose your poison.

Of course it may have been the same strain of Evil that is drawn to power then as now. THEN there was a great deal of power in the Church, NOW there is a great deal of power in Government and it's bureaucracy.. The Church survived the evil in it's ranks (Christ warned of them)now we see how government handles the infestation...
