Why is this a political question? When our "President" proudly proclaims that God told him to invade Iraq, when a growing number in the House, Senate and Supreme Court are openly Fundamentalist or less openly Dominionist I think it's safe to say that the separation between church and state has been breached if not obliterated. Many on the far right are saying there never was such a separation, or never should have been. What, then is the character of this new Jesus who guides our country? Has "Love thy neighbor as thyself." become "Love thy neighbor as thyself, as long as he attends the same church"? Has "Turn the other cheek." become "Turn the other cheek. Then deck the one who slapped you."? Dominionist preacher Rod Parsley has exuberently called his "Christian" followers to war against homosexuls, liberals, or any others who refuse to follow the black and white Dominionist dogma. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." or "Find the sin in others and bury them."?
