I have made no points for you. Church organizations are many things and unless you are just clueless, making money is a big portion of a church function. I can only explain this to you. I can't make you understand this. There are medical jobs within a church organizational function.
The law only mandates that the insurers offer the coverage and the church objects to this. It forces people who are entailed to (and paying for) coverage by their employer to but another policy to get the coverage.
Is the church going to shut down its hospitals and universities over a church rule that 98% of catholic women ignore? Just because the celibate church hierarchy is uncomfortable with sex? Don't you realize that the 21st century is far different than the 14th century? :grin:
I think the state has a right to sentence and execute those convited of capital crimes when there are no other adequate means to punish the guilty and protect society. Those conditions don't exist in modern America. We have super max prisons where the worst among us can be locked away and never seen or heard from again. Couple that with the facts that the death penalty has failed as a deterent, and that our justice system is flawed I am pretty much always against the death penalty. Remember that Rick Perry allowed an innocent man to be executed. With that kind of miscarriage of justice possible the death penalty should be abolished.
