that is exactly why I have no use for organized religion anymore.
The church has no problem bashing the government on issues it doesnt agree with but it seems the preachers I have known, have no problem telling me who I should be casting my ballot for come election time.
Of course it pisses me off that that the courts dont want the 10 commandments in the courthouses but yet when someone testifies they put their hand on the bible and swear to tell the truth so help them god.
sorry, I know that didnt have anything to do with the original post but pan6467 post just really struck a chord with me
