Thou shall not Kill
Though it also says to go forth and multiply. - Mission Accomplished ??
Except during the witch trials, the Crusades and events like that????

When people with those beliefs cause a repeated, tangible harm to others and play it off as "good teachings", but end up retarding science, human rights, and education, one doesn't consider pointing those things out as a waste of time.
The problem of course being that the atrocities committed in the name of God are not only often ignored, but defended.People with all kinds of anti-religious beliefs have and continue to cause repeated, tangible harm to others and play it off as "good teachings."
I would commend you to "The Black Book of Communism."
Glass houses, and such.
Consider, Cuomo is a Catholic and many NY Catholic churches unofficially supported him last 2 elections.
I'm beginning to think Darth' s church doctrine is spot on.
I attend Mass occasionally, for Weddings & Funerals.
I dress and act respectfully. I listen closely to the sermon.
I never take Commumion.
No one would stop me; no one would care. EXCEPT GOD.
I sin enough, and taking Communion when I do not deserve it would be spitting in Jesus's face.
Joe Biden PUBLICLY encourages Abortion. Which, to Catholics, is Murder.
He is ENCOURAGING people to sin most egregiously - to damn their souls to torment.
Call me prideful, but my personal sins damn only myself. Joe is damning millions for eternity.
Yes, religion just may be a total crock - the crutch of the gullible.
But to call yourself a Catholic - for VOTES - and then publicly encourage others to sin - is despicable.
The Priest would be committing a sin himself to pretend that Uncle Joe is virtuous and deserves Communion.

I learned a lot from my previous Pastor. I think she would actually love discussing this with us.
She would give him Communion, no questions about it. She would say what he has done / is doing is between him and God and is NOT for us to deny him Communion.
I have my own beliefs. I live my life as well as I can. I live the way I do because of me, my ideas and how my parents raised me.
I have faith different than many here. I do not dog on those that believe differently than I do. My issues with "The Church" are vast.
The hypocrisy is beyond crazy. This one priest decided not to allow one man to take communion because of his political ideas. Wow, to say the least.
There are many, I mean many, priests that have committed some of the most heinous crimes against the most innocent; I bet these child rapists still take communion.
When was a litmus test created to figure who could and who could not take communion?
How many everyday church goers vote for the Dems and toe the line of the Democratic Party. How many of these everyday people are refused communion?
I don’t understand the issue here. The church is a private entity. Their house. Their rules. They can refuse service to anyone. Even Trump or my mother if they want to.
If I open up a chapel, I can refuse service to people that do BDSM porn, people from Putnam County, or pirates from Massachusetts or Somalia.
