24. Speaking of which....
There is a letter to the ed in USA Today that was talking about how the letter writer was disgusted by the attempt to separate church and state (HELLO!!!!! Can you say, First Amendment? Can you say, Congress shall make no law...? I knew you could). This idiot was claiming that this amounted to


wait for it . . . . .





DISCRIMINATION AGAINST CHRISTIANS.

The letter writer goes on to say that political campaigns don't belong in churches. This I do agree with.

My opinions is that if any religious organization prints voters guides or tells you from the pulpit how to vote or does any other activity that endorses a candidate for public office, that organization should lose its tax free status.

What a lot of the most rabidly religious seem to forget that if the nation gets entrenched into a particular religion, who's to say it will be YOUR denomination?

It wasn't all that long ago that Catholics and Lutherans refused to have anything to do with one another.
