It's the liberals who preach their campaign speeches directly from the pulpit,P>Why is this cheered if they are preaching "Vote Bush"?
IMO the pulpit should be used for religion, not politics, not matter what the political leaning of the congregation or preacher is.

I agree (that preachers should not permit political campaigning from their pulpits.
But it ISN'T the repubbies/conservatives who are doing it.
If anything, the conservatives ARE intimidated from doing by their fear of the IRS/FBI/BATF troika under Bill/Hillary/Reno who are NOT even permitting people to hand out flyers and papers outside churches.
But the democrats go on camera inside every church they see ....And the media encourages it and publicizes it!

Where were Kerry, Sharpton and Jessie at in Florida last week?

Thanks. Everywhere I go to check out the organizations mentioned hits a deadend, I google and get "unable to display page" or whatever. There is one scary outfit called Coalition for Religious Freedom of The Southeast, I sincerely hope there is no relationship.

Okay, if W.J. Murray is William J. Murray, son of Madalyn Murray O'Hair, then at least I've heard of him.

What part of, "nor prohibit the free exercise thereof" do you not understand?
Religious exercise includes what you DO and SAY, not just what you BELIEVE.
Freedom of speech and freedom of religious conscience are inseparable and inalienable.

Wipe the spittle off your monitor and breathe. I said in my opinoin. That does not imply, nor do I wish, to see churches told they cannot preach politics from the pulpit.
No, either you are going to be a hypocrite and say it's ok for Conservatives to do it and not liberals, or you are going to say that neither should.
Calm the f* down already. I did not start this thread.

You will threads where people say that their pastor is staunchly behind Bush and preaches that they should vote for Bush if they are "good Christians". It happens on both sides.

There's no spittle on my monitor. Perhaps you should examine your own.
Your opinion in this matter contravenes the letter and the spirit of the First Amendment, which starts with, "Congress shall make no law," and includes, "abridging the freedom of speech," and, "regarding the establishment of religion, nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
That does not imply, nor do I wish, to see churches told they cannot preach politics from the pulpit.
I musta missed something. It sure sounded like that to me.

I see nothing hypocritical about allowing church leaders of any political pursuasion to make whatever statements they wish, political or otherwise, from the pulpit or anywhere else, as long as they do not incite sedition or violence.

What I meant by that was I would not want to see them FORCED to not preach what they want. And I can have any opinion I want.
It is hypocritical for people to cheer conservatives preaching from the pulpit while saying that liberal churches ought to be in trouble for it and vice versa.
