A prime example of why it's time to tax churches or at least churches that get involved in politics. I live in Oklahoma where the same laws were on the books until last year because of the influence of the Southern Baptist church. Why should a religious institution be able to enforce their rules on others including those who don't follow their religion?

Well................ I guess they can probably forget about legalizing pot then.

You say it's politics because everything is politics with you? They see it as a moral issue. I disagree with them but I also disagree with you trying to define this as politics.

It is politics because the law applies to everyone in the state, not just members of the LDS church. Non-LDS residents of Utah are forced to drink crappy watered down beer because the LDS church believes drinking alcohol of any kind is sin.

How is a religion attempting to make laws conform to its own version of 'moral' anything but politics? If it was strictly a moral issue, those who believe anything stronger than 3.2% beer to be immoral would simply not drink it.
