When one of the first questions being asked a candidate is to define his religious beliefs and when this candidate find himself obliged to answer in a way that pleases the "believers" and when this is what happens in America over and over again, where do we go from there? I dream of the day when a candidate would have the courage to say "it's not your business" and take the chance to lose a nomination. That will be a start to honor!
When "In God We Trust" is printed our money, making millions of Americans a bunch of liars, where do we go from there?
How hypocrites can we be when we denounce and wage wars on extremists yet use religion as "moral value" while bombing Iraq for a bunch of lies? How hypocrites can we be when we denounce abortions saying that we value life yet kill the souls of millions of gays and lesbians by not allowing them to adopt children and/or giving them the right to be treated equal as human beings ?
And now we have Sarah Palin who speaks about putting her life in her creator's hands Oh brother! I wonder if her "creator" put words in her mouth when she accused Barack Obama to have ties with terrorists and if her "creator" zipped her mouth when she heard someone yelled "kill him" or "head off" during her rallies! Want to discuss morality, Sarah?
Soon Obama will be inaugurated President but America will continue its so-called "Moral war" and I have enough! If you think that things are bad just wait 2012. But if you want to help bring REAL change in America, my friends ( sic) you better join me and fight for SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.
This is a good start to begin from here - today-

I couldn't agree more about separation of church and state. Let's use humor among our weapons. Did you hear that Chrysler is merging not with GM but with the Vatican. The new company will be called Jesus Chrysler. Walter.
Yeah, folks have noticed how everyone was SO very, very interested in the religious viewpoints of Obama, McCain and even Biden, but gee, they mysteriously fell silent when it came to Palin.
The reason isn't at all complicated. Her particular brand of Christianity isn't heretical or blasphemous, but it DOES take a paragraph or two to properly describe it and most Americans aren't even clear on the distinction between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism, let alone between Episcopalianism and Presbyterianism. Palin is an Evangelical with strong Pentecostal influences. Compared to McCain's and Obama's "plain vanilla" brands of Christianity, she's got a pretty "way out" brand.
Yeah, we could get into detailed discussions as to what that all means, but y'know? WHY?!?!? People can only spare so much time and attention to political subjects.
We COULD spend that valuable time discussing tax policy or the Iraq situation!
Some folks apparently did a protest in Philly! It specifically concerned separation of church & state. I don't remember hearing anything about it!
