10. No. I am saying that funding churches happens all the time. Because
some of them do stand up jobs in the areas they choose to walk the walk in. Like any NGO - they can apply for funding. It happens. Don't want to see any government money going to pay off christian flunkies who try and help Bush find the next scapegoat & thirst for power & money.

But to assume that religious groups don't help anyone and don't do any great work is an outright lie about was has been going on in the last 50 years.

For sure Church should be separated from state. So should the arts. And hell - they get funding. Ever seen the great art the soviet propagandists came up with? Gorgeous & scary.

We talk at cross purposes.
