"'Churches ought not use the pulpit for blatant political purposes,' said Schneider, who is Lutheran. 'When they start telling legislators how to vote, they've crossed the line.'"

Sorry, Rev. King. Because you're a clergyman, you shouldn't have any input in the political process. You're a threat to democracy because you have the audacity to suggest that people's religion should have some part to play in their decisions.

The Declaration of Independence drafted by Thomas Jefferson declared: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."

Hmm. Is it perhaps possible that teaching the Declaration of Indepencence in school is a violation of the seperation between church and state? What about when clergymen remind legislators of its existance?

I guess if I become a priest, I'll have to give up my views on moral issues. Better get started on that book before ordination.
