The report said Mike Velarde, head of the Catholic-based El Shaddai; former Manila archbishop Jaime Cardinal Sin; Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ) executive minister Eraño Manalo; and evangelist Eduardo Villanueva, leader of the Protestant-based Jesus is Lord Movement, made the appeal.
The SJS won the first round of its legal battle with the religious leaders when the Manila regional trial court ordered them to stop endorsing candidates, citing the separation of church and state provision in the Constitution.
But the report said Manalo in his appeal justified the INC's system of voting as a bloc in elections as part of their "religious belief" that was based on the Holy Book and was not intended to ensure the victory of a candidate.

Is building a new set of additional nuclear weapons high on your list of priorities for a nation that already has the most such weapons and is deeply in debt?

So the US/Israeli military presence in Palestine/Iraq is requested by both petrochemical corporations and religious right leaders (Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, GW Bush) to ensure their conquest of this region.

This is a baseless accusation and speculation but people need to be critical thinkers and monitor their "leaders" at all times.

 Chuck Currie: An Open Letter From Religious Leaders to the Citizens of Metropolitan St. Louis On The November Election
As religious leaders from congregations in the St. Louis area, we wish to add our voice to the public dialogue about the future of our city, our state and our nation in this election year.
As we see it, religion is being frequently used to justify military aggression, to restrict civil liberties, to support economic policies that favor the rich and to encourage fear of “others.” We believe that our religious traditions teach a far different set of values.
