I also agree that politics and religion can be mixed in bad ways.<BR/><BR/>However, I think it's somewhere between ironic and sad that American churches aren't allowed to be both tax-exempt and political. It's ironic because, when the US was founded, political sermons were something that people thought were important to have. It's sad because of the way it can be twisted into convincing people that "to be a good Christian, you must vote for so-and-so", and because many of the "good Christian" candidates aren't particularly Christian when you look at all of their apparent motivations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
