Keeping the Church Out of the White House

[BridgeTheGap]

Watching the Democratic debate last night, the separation between church and state was not brought up once. Church and State magazine recently published 10 questions people should be asking the presidential candidates.

Questions include:

“Do you think houses of worship should be allowed to endorse political candidates and retain their tax-exempt status?”
and
“Do you think my pharmacist should be allowed to deny me doctor-prescribed medications based on his or her religious beliefs?”

1. Well, since there are even DUers who feel OK about those things

I'm sure the general population doesn't care. Sad.

3. Should the leaders of wiccan covens

be allowed to get tax exemptions and apply for federal funds?

4. I agree and Wiccans, Scientologists, etc. should be given faith-based initiative grants as supported

by many political candidates, see The Candidates on Faith-Based Initiatives.

5. YES! and so should The Church Of Satan...

I am not being sarcastic either.

6. Yep.

That's where you end up when you go down that slippery slope. The religious right just haven't followed it far enough...
