Actually, I don't think any government dollars should go to any church, with the
sole exception being the school voucher system, where it exists, and that merely
gives parents a choice.

Church charities traditionally raise their funds from members and whatever
events they put on.  I do not think it is a good thing to allow them to line up
at the taxpayers' trough, so to speak.

To answer your question, yes I do think that money will have an effect on the
message.  I am not alone in this thinking because that is one of many reasons
there is and should be separation of church and state.
I believe that the feeding at the public trough is a doorway to corruption, of
not only the message, but the organization as a whole.

I believe that anywhere public funds are involved, so are politics, and of
course, favoritism.

  Do you think government dollars in the churches would
  influence the message? You did mention that the other
  day and I agree with you that there should not be
  politics in religion but would hope once the program
  is in place politics will have no influence.

  Haven�t given it much thought but seems like helping
  existing charities could be a good thing.
