Which Power? (Editorial)
Author: Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal Source: Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal (MS)
Title: WHICH POWER? (Editorial)
  The First Amendment protects political involvement based on religious faith. Anyone who suggests otherwise - that religious people acting on their convictions in the political arena somehow violates the Constitution - turns the First Amendment on its head.
But increasingly these days many religious people - and especially some well-known conservative Christian leaders- confuse their own temporal power and influence with the spread of God's kingdom.
The political pronouncements from the pulpit become increasingly more brazen and bold.
The conservative evangelical publication Christianity Today sounds an alarm against the idol of political power in an editorial in its July edition, and notes that American and Christian creeds and precepts aren't interchangeable.

actually, it's the gop which now serves the fundies. at least, that is what it appears to many of the rest of us. and while they strive for a theocracy- they intend to turn this country into something worse. a puppet democracy- with themselves at the head-- leading the govenment by the nose from the pulpit. just like iran.

This writter said it beautifully ... and in the end, supported seperation of church and state.
Very well written.
