lol @ catholics being normal people

Nothing Fox News ever says can be trusted.

On average i have found catholics to be incredibly judgy people. Usually without cause to have the moral high ground. The catholic church in my hometown's pastor drove a mustang and a camaro.

Whats wrong with that?

On average I found have catholics to be atheists or agnostics

Nothing if you like your clergymen wealthy with an incentive to compete for higher salaries.

I mean in essence as a catholic pastor you live in the churches paid off home, have access to some other goods you don't need to pay for, etc. But i came from a poor ass town, and this pastor would rather drive fancy cars than help local charities like the food bank. On top of that they guy was notorious for finding reasons he couldn't transfer to another church, so much so that after 15 years they just decided to let him stay forever. Basically so he could keep his cars and not leave his lifestyle up to chance.

I met the guy a few times, he was nice enough, but he always struck me as a pastor who was not entirely committed. If im being honest the only entirely committed clergymen i've met were in sects that allowed marriage. I've never understood how the vow of celibacy makes for a better man/woman of god. I've found the opposite to be true.

My old great grandfather was the historical family drunkard, but had a memorable moment when one pastor went on at great length in a sermon about how they required donations of so many game animals and of what kinds for an upcoming priests' shindig, they needed so many chickens for the feast and whatnot, at which point he stood up in the middle of the church and shouted "We came here to hear the word of god not your bullshit!" and stormed out. Not quite nailing 95 feces to the door.

Some churches I really find distasteful, that sounds like the type of church where people show up for an hour a week just to stare daggers at each other and compete for flashiest outfit. Give me a church where 1/2 of the congregation is in blue jeans and there's a potluck every other service any day.

speaking of that, (C)linton's tax plan further complicates the tax code (adding more loopholes which evil rich people like (C)linton use) yet her plan does not reduce the tax burden on the middle 20% of earners in America
but hey she's proposing raising income tax rates on the 1% (who get very little of their earnings from salaried income) so its no bigly deal.

She's a democrat, the best you can hope for is stagnation of middle class tax rates, not drops.
