Not to worry, my short-peckered friend.

I had made up my mind to totally ignore you, and absent this instance, have been observing this imperative rather well.

It is against my personal policy to employ the "ignore" function provided by the board, as I reckon it would deprive me of the opportunities you present for genuine belly-laughs as you continue to contemplate your navel in open forum.

Carry on, idiot-boy.

I thought churches, of any religion, were not allowed to get into politics in the USA. Isn't that a fundamental rule.

A fundamentally ignored rule.

In what way.

In what way.

In the way that they believe it's their duty to absolutely have to ignore it and some believe that the rule doesn't even exist.

Thomas Jefferson called it a "wall of separation between church and State". Somehow that wall is viewed as a magical wall that only blocks one direction of travel.

I'm sorry. I don't understand what you are saying there. What do Churches have to ignore.

So you feel Churches should not express an opinion in relation to matters of morals, ethics, religion etc.

Do you feel the same way for other groups, animal rights activists or gun owners for example. Should no-one express their view.

Or do you only deny freedom of expression to Churches.

Edit : I think the "wall" was there to stop Churches having actual power, like in the UK. That's how it was explained to me in another thread.

Of course there should be no bar to someone that has faith (try to get elected if you don't) but as so loudly shouted by conservatives we run the country by the constitution. Doesn't that mean that the bible comes second?

Nope, don't see any point there.
