    @ Patrickvashon

    I am a pro-choice Catholic. I volunteer in my church, attend regularly and disagree with maybe 40%-50% of what my church preaches. Why do I stay? I guess the other 60%-50% balances out, plus it is part of my community.

    Religion is a complicated issue. Look at Hillary Clinton's affiliation with The Family, filled with right wing hate.

    Hillary has called Doug Coe, who preaches sermons glorifying the influence of Communist and Fascist leaders, "a unique presence in Washington: a genuinely loving spiritual mentor and guide to anyone, regardless of party or faith, who wants to deepen his or her relationship with God."

    As a supporter of Hillary Clinton, you should first ask that she explain her relationship with Coe and The Family before you go throwing rocks at other's glass houses.
