I'm not religious as an adult but I was raised so. I attended Catholic school and went to church twice a week during the school year. In addition, I attended several churches in the region for different events over the years growing up. Never once did the church become political while I was there and I had substantial time there. In addition, it was a major denomination. I can assure you just because someone goes to church does not mean they belong to one political party either.
- refulgentis 3y agoRead the last sentence of your comment, then read your comment. (Edit: they edited out the last sentence, a line about not judging and reading carefully) Then read OPs comment. compare the general, nonuniversal statement they made about political advocacy vis a vis tax status laws in the United States, to the judgements you envisioned of religious people and yourself and your religion.

- explorer83 3y agoUpdate 2: thanks for the reply actually. I went back through the entire thread and realized somehow my comment replied to the parent comment. I was not trying to respond this the parent comment. I was trying to respond to a sub comment on the parent comment that someone said the major denominations all engage in political activity during elections. I realize my comment looked extreme now because it was out of context. This was not my intent. Thanks for responding. And you were absolutely correct.
