2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: It was a foregone conclusion rabid Hilfans would shit the bed with this Vatican thing [View all]JTFrog
(14,274 posts)28. Rightly so.
Like I said, I left the church when I became an adult for very good reason.
I wouldn't like Hillary making this move. It always makes my stomach turn when any politician brings their religion into politics. Be they Democrats, republicans, greens, independents etc. The right wingers have built their entire party around religion and using religion to curb the freedoms of others.
Not an organization I can embrace in any way. However, it wouldn't stop me from voting for Bernie. But I have posts from ten years ago where I am screaming to keep religion out of my politics. This isn't a new stance nor do I think a hypocritical one for me.
