   Let me re-word your comment so it is more accurate:

   “Just another perfect little example of how SOME religious leaders and their followers stifle, threaten and promote a backward way of thinking, and how religion CAN be inept and can (as it bases its existence on beliefs not provable through the scientific method) negatively affect our world and how we deal with the serious issues and problems facing us as a world society.”

   Let’s see if you can manage this type of more accurate response in the future.

   Peace.

   Very good-well done, but you need not correct the statement-it was fine and accurate as presented…ALL LEADERS ALL RELIGIONS; inept, backward, blind by faith based on superstition. /’Beliefs not provable by scientific method’, does not provide credibility to beliefs based on magic, hocus pocus and the boogie man.“What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof.”
   “Millions of Germans had absolute faith in Hitler. Millions of Russians had faith in Stalin. Millions of Chinese had faith in Mao. Billions have had faith in imaginary gods.”
   piece, love and the woodstock nation!
   But that ain’t all:
   The president did something agile and wise the other day. And something quite important to the health of our politics. He reached up and snuffed out what some folks wanted to make into a cosmic battle between good and evil. No, said the president, we’re not going to turn the argument over contraception into Armageddon, this is an honest difference between Americans, and I’ll not see it escalated into a holy war. So instead of the government requiring Catholic hospitals and other faith-based institutions to provide employees with health coverage involving contraceptives, the insurance companies will offer that coverage, and offer it free.

   The Catholic bishops had cast the president’s intended policy as an infringement on their religious freedom; they hold birth control to be a mortal sin, and were incensed that the government might coerce them to treat it otherwise. (SEE-THIS IS THE KIND OF IDIOTIC INTERFERENCE I HAVE BEEN YACKING ABOUT-MORTAL SIN???? SAYS WHO??? THE FACT THAT THIS KIND OF SUPERSTITION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY THE GOVERNMENT AND THE PEOPLE OF OUR GLOBAL COMMUNITY IS ABSURD-IN FACT ,THE WASTE OF TIME, RESOURCES, PAPER AND INK ON DEALING WITH THIS IS NUTS!)The president in effect said: No quarrel there; no one’s going to force you to violate your doctrine. But Catholics are also Americans, and if an individual Catholic worker wants coverage, she should have access to it — just like any other American citizen. Under the new plan, she will. She can go directly to the insurer, and the religious institution is off the hook.

   ps. here is some more nonsense-religion-how it interferes with government-influences candidates by fear intimidation and superstition and gives credence to fanatics, but mostly it is about how exiting to know that the Pope has just tweeted!!

   THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORGANIZED RELIGION AND A CULT
   IS THE NUMBERS OF ITS BELIEVERS
