Yes, liberals value family , but not enough to recognize that a broken family is a tragedy. Divorce is actually worse than death as far as the grieving process goes- especially when there are children, custody battles, parental support, and alimony involved. And homosexuals raising children? That is tragic, not something to be celebrated. Maybe if we'd *recognize* that a broken family is a tragedy we would be more willing to say, pay taxes for WIC so that the single mother working a minimum wage job actually has the ability to choose life. Maybe we'd have more men willing to stick around and help raise the children they cause because the condom broke while they were stupidly using sex only for recreation. Maybe, just maybe, we'd be raising men instead of a generation of cowardly wimps who choose homosexuality and suicide over real life. Suffering and tragedy is valuable- but only if we recognize that it exists.

The point is that God does not exist. Whether it challenges you to change or not is irrelevant. I might want to change, but that's got nothing to do with the supernatural.
We rarely want to change. And I submit, if your belief system does not encourage you to change, it is worthless regardless of what other confirmation of selfishness you find in it.
The Catholic Church thrives on people thinking that they need to be "forgiven" by God for their sins. The only forgiveness they really need is from those they have offended. The Church puts itself in the position of being endowed with the "power" to forgive sins. That is extremely presumptuous on its part. Truth be told, no one needs to be forgiven by the Church. That is just a ploy to gain people's dedication and allegiance.
