Religious conservatives don't understand the importance of seperation of church and state and I've touched on this topic before. It's a very important concept to understand and one only needs to look at the horrors in other countries that do rule by their concept of God's will to see exactly why it is important (think suicide bombers as martyrs).
Our country seems to be swiftly marching down that same destructive path and it needs to stop. However, if these religious conservatives don't understand the concept then it's high time we start taxing the churches. Churches shouldn't get to run the country and also remain tax free. Imagine how that would help the deficits!
Seriously though - it simply can't work. Which church should make the rules? Ask 10 people in 10 different states and you will probably get 10 different answers. And possibly one of those would agree that suicide bombers are an excelent way to make a point. Another would agree that everyone should have 5 wives.
Let Law be Law and God be God.

I almost deleted this article because I realize that most governments don't condone behavior such as suicide bombers etc. But that is the point exactly. The governments don't support it - but the extremests do it anyway. This is what is happening in this country. And sadly the extremest groups are actually in positions of power now where the original point of the article could become a reality. So I'm leaving it.
