What you say is true....Thank you for your comment. What you say is true. Many in other denominations, if not critical of their church, attend out of habit, for socializing, or simply to "feel good" about themselves. There is nothing wrong with feeling good, but that is not the purpose of the church in my opinion. The purpose of the church as I understand it is to join with other like minded people to strengthen one another's faith in God, to worship Him, and to be encouraged to exercise our gifts to promote God and His will in our lives and in the world. <br /><br />You are right, the Democratic Party didn't even want God mentioned in their party platform.Gerardo Moochiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11541992059443099894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12010572.post-6470970521679436912012-11-25T00:15:19.554-05:002012-11-25T00:15:19.554-05:00I know exactly your feelings. But its not just &qu...I know exactly your feelings. But its not just "Catholics" who are fighting against their church's own beliefs. I see it all over the place. It saddens me. Too many people say the associate themselves with a religious group but do not live or even support the basic teachings and fundamentals of their religion. I have also learned that on the subject of politics no where is safe to talk about heavy political topics specifically among those who you think you should have common ground with because they profess to have the same religion to do. <br />Something to think about, I am adding this just for you, I realized during this past election that the reason I do not like the Democratic party platforms' on a deeper level than economics and ideological reasons but I've realized that a fundamental reason I oppose them is their ideas pretend to give you more or better choices, but then don't, they are actually slowly taking away our agency and choice one small thing at a time. Like the slow cooking frogs in a pot. I don't want the gift God gave me to make choices taken away by anyone. It sickens me to realize that this is happening and the majority of Americans are happy frogs slowing cooking until it will be too late to change the course of action. I thought you might enjoy mulling over that one. Glad to hear you and your wife are doing well. Don't let those people make you too "tired".Arizona Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07523471805098513333noreply@blogger.com
