Liberal Tolerance at its finest, ladies and Gentlemen.
So sorry that you disagree with separation of church and state.
If they want to be involved in a secular world, what's the problem with losing their tax status?
Are they afraid to put their money where their mouths are?
Should religious leaders be involved in political issues
Pastors should not use the pulpit to blatantly advance political agendas, but there's also no reason why they must not enter the political sphere. In an ideal democracy, all voices should be heard.
They should be free to exercise their voice. If people want to believe irrational things, and follow them politically, thats their business. Its up to the majority of society to overwhelm their vote.

I have no problem with them speaking, but if they do so, they don't get to double dip.

Could I read your posts denouncing Reverend Wright? Thanks

It's not Christaphobia, it's power.
PS. Can you not post until after 6pm PST? I like to play the Neo Prog drinking game and it's just to dang early for me to take a shot now.
