"Why is it that the Mormon church cannot give funds to defeat a ballot proposition, but Evangelical Lutheran Church can give funds to support same proposition?"

I wish churches would stay out of politics, period. I think it's just as unseemly for the Mormon church to be putting dollars into the gay marriage fight as it is for Jeremiah Wright to use his pulpit to agitate for Barack Obama.

And I've always hated how the left talks about separation of church and state, but gladly invites Democrat candidates to come and campaign er, speak at black churches. What a sham.

Keep politics out of religion and religion out of politics. Pretty simple.

Pretty simple.

For you, I guess. My religion affects and effects everything I do.

This, ladies and gents, is exactly the kind of idiocy that is ruining the republican party.

Get a clue, around the world.

The problem, Gay Marrage proposals pave the way for some churches to lose their tax exempt status. There is alot more to it than just allowing gays to marry each other.
