faith based realities.. we don't need science either... just have some faith in them and all shall be revealed.. and all will be well... unless of course you aren't, then so what..
WASHINGTON — In the latest sign of a philosophical change in how the government should deliver social services, President Bush's new budget would cut some traditional aid for the poor in such areas as housing and health coverage.
At the same time, some religion-based programs that promote such goals as sexual abstinence and marriage and provide mentors for at-risk children would enjoy increased federal aid.
Both the shift away from long-standing social welfare policies and the willingness to step up spending on programs tied to religious organizations reflect the fact, analysts said, that the administration is more comfortable than many of its predecessors in advocating social service strategies with a moral dimension.
Administration officials said Monday that the increases — although generally smaller than the cutbacks — would be made in part through payments to faith-based organizations, a hallmark of Bush's self-described "compassion agenda."
