Well, that's interesting. Would you care to give us just one brief example?

@Ryo1 First time around was when I was with and in a relationship with a Catholic woman.
I told her of my Fee Free Crisis Counselling Services to Children and Young Adults/Youths, her immediate reaction and response was, quote, " Why do it for nothing, why not charge them and give the money to the Church, Churches ALWAYS nee money, those kids only waste theirs." Unquote.
Those "KIDS" she was talking about were either from broken/dis-functional homes, sleeping rough on streets, etc, victims of abuse, etc, etc, barely living a hand to mouth existence and bloody hard pressed to have a brass razoo between them to spend at the best of times.
The second instance, about 18-20 months later went pretty much the same as the first only this time I did NOT find out until we discussed my Counselling Services for the very first time that she was a Mormon, I'll leave it up to you as how that turned out, but suffice it to say it was very short and not so sweet.

@Triphid Obviously, the woman didn't share the same views as you.

@Ryo1 Women, there were 2 separate ones at 2 separate occasions.

@Triphid Typo.

@Ryo1 Fixed, are you happy now?

@Triphid No. I meant MY typo in my comment. Lol 'Woman' instead of 'women'.

The common good generally refers to facilities like healthcare services, public transport services, educational institutions, police protection and public safety, etc., etc. which everyone in a community can benefit from.

@David1955 nice whataboutism. Considering that Biden eliminated the cap on SALT deductions and progressives championing dumbass policies like $15 an hour minimum wage, which would benefit primarily companies like Walmart and Amazon, who is really the useful of idiot of the fat cats? A lot of spending needs to be cut anyways.

@Ryo1 Government healthcare? Literal death panels, rationing of beds, medicine, doctors, long waits, etc. no thanks. Public education? Public schools are a joke in the US. Private and parochial schools do way better. So called “common good” groups like unions stand in the way of educational reform. Amtrak is ran by the government and it sucks. Toll roads are just as efficient and well-maintained. If you like the police so much, how come you prog morons want to defund the police?

@Heavykevy1985 Are you diverting from the OP deliberately? My question is, assuming that you are agnostic/atheist, would you be able to cooperate with theists to achieve shared goals while putting each other's religious/non-religious differences aside?

You are fine with tRump doing it?

@Ryo1 Wow. That was a strange turn for this conversation to take place.

@Ryo1 no. I am just saying that my bone of contention is not working with people of different religious beliefs but those who disagree with on principle.

@Ryo1 I have met many good theists in my life who has disagree with about God but can work together to achieve goals. I also wanted clarification about common good, as in what do you think it means and what goals.

@xenoview This clown is a Trumpanzee.

@MyTVC15 Many people enjoy making bold statements which are actually empty.

@Heavykevy1985 So, what is your definition of common good? Maybe in your book, there is no such thing as common good.

@Ryo1 things that are non-excludable but competitive.
