The White House under the Bush Administration from his director of the so-called 'faith-based' crap:
"I haven't run into a pagan faith-based group yet, much less a pagan group that cares for the poor! Once you make it clear to any applicant that public money must go to public purposes and can't be used to promote ideology, the fringe groups lose interest. Helping the poor is tough work and only those with loving hearts seem drawn to it."

Who is he to determine which religion has 'loving hearts' and which don't? How does he know anything about minority religions? How dare he call any religion a 'fringe' group? Many, many of today's 'major' religions were once considered 'fringe'; he has a terrible misunderstanding of history and religion. Why is our government getting entangled in the mess of doling out money to religions, which inevitably leads to conversations about and decisions on which religion is better? This whole mess is wrong, wrong, wrong, and people we are headed down a bad, dangerous road with this. We need to strengthen the separation of church and state, not cross-over it. This just goes to show you how dangerous the Bush people are.
