I take exception to some of the comments made on my prior post.
First, I am a very religious person. I go to church on a regular basis, volunteer for several groups,including the local Catholic food bank. I have cooked more food for the homeless than I want to remember. I am not looking for any "atta boys", but know I am anything but a hate monger,especially when religion is involved.
But maybe that's the point. I have no problem with anyone standing up for what they believe in. Even though I don't agree with some of the comments made on my post, and certainly plan on responding to them, but you certainly have the right to voice your views, even if I didn't agree with what you said. I have sent emails to every local legislator,the Governor, and the President. But in those emails I never told them I wished them harm,death,or anything else, except my vote,or lack of. But when you hold signs asking for the death of the husband while wearing their Cassock, then they are representing their religion. Wear a shirt and jeans, not what you would when saying mass. That is my problem with it, more than anything else.
Children,as well as adults, see the robes, and feel they are representing the religion as a whole. How do you explain that to a child who associates that person to who they see on Sunday. They are tought to love thy neighbor by people in the same robes, then read the sign they hold. That sign is asking God to take the life of the husband who is doing nothing more than following his wife's last wish.
