3. church officials mess with the politics, trying to influence the way the state works

there is a ton of reasons like this, thats why I care, I am non believer but the church still tries to influence my life and the life of my kids.

1. Part of your taxes support the bombs and the war machine, the banks, etc. Why are you not complaining about that?
2. The school systems of the United States, great Britian and Canada are pathetic to say the least. Why is teaching religion in schools are greater problem then a school system that is incapable of teaching ANYTHING.
3. Large transnational corporations do far more damage to a gouvernment with their campaign contributions, political lobby groups, etc. So why is this not an issue but religion is?
4. As for influencing your children I must ask why you are not attacking Walt Disney, Television commericals, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus or for that matter why not attack me? I am a pornographer and I guarantee that like other pornographers, the shit I produce has influence more children than any church.
((( At least a church tries to influence people to be nice to each other, chaste, responsible... I teach people to swallow cum and that romance is being fucked in the ass on the hood of a car with a power drill )))
Now personally I do not care what someone believes in or does not believe in when it comes to relgion. Because if it gives them comfort and meaning to their lives then who am I to judge? And having read the books of several different religions, I have come to the conclusion that I would personally prefer a pious believer as head of state. Because if they were true to their faith they would :
1) Feed the poor
2) Not kill,
3) Not steal,
4) Not lie.
Which to me is a lot more than any of these so-called
"secular" gouvernments.
