Do think that religion interferes with politics too much?

I find this an important issue because I see the two cross paths all the time. It is inevitable...



That would be a resounding YES.





I think that these mega-churches are just getting way to big to be "good".





They routinely stomp out the little home-grown churches full of good people and replace them with shopping malls disguised as "spirituality centers"... They get their people into important positions on the city council and the local media and so they tightly control any opposition to their growth.





This is not to say that religious people should be kept out of office... quite the contrary. But we should closely examine the way these huge corporate mega-churches are exerting their control over otherwise good communities.




Yes! That was one of George Bush's reasons for banning embryonic stem cell research, and one of the reasons cited for banning gay marriage and gay adoption (along with other gay rights) in some states. Whether you like it or not, "Separation of Church and State" means that religion should play no part in the legislation of law.




Yes, gay marriage ban, Bush's ban on stem cell research, the fight against choice. All of those things are governmental issues, not religious- governmental issues. Leave the religious beliefs out of our laws.

ADD ON


Well, I wouldn't go that far as to take out under God from the pledge or off of our money. I am comfortable with all of that. Even having the ten commandments in government buildings.


I am saying that we shouldn't legislate religion. .




Harry Reed, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank are good examples of the lack of Christianity in politics. Without morality in politics, they quickly become corrupted and greedy, because without fear of God, there is no reason to be moral.




Really - I see no evidence of any principles or morality in politics. Could you provide an example.




I believe that Religion interferes with spirituality.




No, I think the opposite is true.




I will if you people dont suck it up and vote for Romney




that's why there's supposed to be a separation between church and state..




No I don't.
