-> GG>    NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT.
-> GG>    NOT TEXAS.

-> So you're gonna pull a 'Dixie Chick' and disown him ???    B)

"Maines said, "we don't want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed
that the President of the United States is from Texas" 
 
Heheh... luckily unlike the Dixie Chicks (who I agreed with their
statement at the time) I KNOW Bush was not a Texan.


-> "If people aren't involved in helping Godly men in getting elected, then
-> we're going to have a generation of secular laws. That's not what our
-> founding fathers intended and that certainly isn't what God intended.
 
What did God intend?  Seriously?

I see government as a backbone to create the place that we can be the
people God wanted us to be.  Sometimes Godly people find their way into
government office.  But all and all, goverment is an instrumentality, a
means, a tool to make all this happen.  It is not perfect, man-made, and
should not be mixed up with God in any form.

God is much bigger than this world and beyond, and definately not
grafted into a few lines on a world map.



-> This is in no way intended to say anything against a person's religion.
-> I just happen to believe in the separation of church and state because
-> it seems that whenever the two get too solidly intertwined things get
-> just a little bit crazy. I don't think you can use 2000 year old texts
-> as your source to run a country or write the laws for the world of today.

There is some good ideals you can take from those texts.  I think our
country did quite well taking some tabs from those texts.

But ultimately, equating America to God is a mistake.  It tarnishes the
image of God since America is not perfect.

Insisting that to not vote for a man based on his religion or lack
thereof is un-American.  That statement right there goes against
everything that America was supposedly based on.

And grafting any particular religion into America is also wrong.  Unless
we want to rename ourselves "England."

Nothing against current England of course, more commenting about the
country those early settlers left at the time.
