A survey carried out across the U.S. between 2004 and 2006 showed that frequent church- or synagogue-goers are more likely to give money to charity.
If all the rich and all of the church people should send their children to the public schools they would feel bound to concentrate their money on improving these schools until they met the highest ideals.
I had said to some pastor that I was having thoughts and the church turned on me. They went to my mom and said So sorry about your son.

Against the State against the Church against the silence of the medical profession against the whole machinery of dead institutions of the past the woman of today arises.
Religious institutions should have religious freedom on this issue. No church or minister should ever have to conduct a marriage that is inconsistent with their religious beliefs. But I think as a civil institution this issue's time has come and we need to move forward.

I love you when you bow in your mosque kneel in your temple pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion and it is the spirit.
In places where marriage's core meaning has been altered through legal action officials are beginning to target for punishment those believers and churches that refuse to adapt.
Our church has been legal since late 1960s. I've been involved since 1972. I was ordained in 1975.
I contend the state ought to do its thing and provide legal rights for all couples who want to be joined together for life. The church should bless unions that it sees fit to bless and they should be called marriages.
