I can see you haven't attended church and don't know the structure of a religious service.

The problems with politics DURING SERVICE is that only the pastors words are spoken. Since it is not a discussion format, it's much like having to listen to a lecture, whether you agree or not.

In church meetings or education classes where discussion is allowed, is an entirely different kettle of fish in my book.

But during services, politicizing is un-called for and unwelcome by most church attendees.

And, just like any other lecture, you are free to get up and leave at any time. I would of made a point of going out right down the middle of the main aisle. If a "Pastor" has the right to interject his political bigotry and ignorance into his sermon, I have the right to display my contempt for his utter stupidity.
