Why should any non-adherent care what the religion accepts or doesn't?

Lie with malaysia.

Under Catholic doctrine, a civil divorce is not a divorce in the eyes of the Vatican. Under Jewish law, a woman
cannot divorce her husband.

Screw Catholicism. Screw Judaism. Screw any organized religion who thinks that anyone unaffiliated with them should
do as they say. In this country especially, screw any churches who meddle in politics in any way. Don't just take
away their tax exemption. Punish them.

Most countries have a state-sanctioned religion.

Another lie. Particularly with the first world.

And even someone as stupid as you should have noticed that Obummer's doesnt.

You risk a very parochial and myopic view to suggest they're wrong.

Wrong, as always. Its those countrys that are stupid enough to have a state-sanctioned religion
that are very parochial and myopic, furiously 'living' in the past thats WAY past its useby date.

And this affects this nation's election how, exactly?

Very many - VERY MANY - people in this election are basing their vote on what they believe the rest of the world will
think of us.

Not enough to matter.

I personally think that's misguided, but it's there nevertheless.

They're too few to matter a damn outcome wise, you watch.

So I still don't get your point in belaboring the whole issue.

Educating the benighted.

Your stated motives are now suspect.

Nobles oblige - the White Man's Burden.

He's brown, stupid.
