(OT) : The Separation of Church and State in America Today -question- Is there a Place for Religion {Faith} in the American Political Process ?
"Brenda Ann" wrote in message ... RHF wrote: Oh Yeah - They are "Religious" so they should STFU when it comes to Politics. The problem is not when a member of a church makes their political opinion known, or even works to elect any politician. It comes when that person uses the power and/or facilities of the church to do such political work. A preacher/parson/vicar/rabbi/priest/etc. should never promote any political position as a part of a church/synagog activity. Nor should a lay person use the power or facilities of such church/synagog for such purpose. As individuals, they have the same right to voice an opinion or vote for whomever they wish, as long as they are not trying to do so as a representative of the church/synagog. This is much like the law that prohibits government employees from promoting any candidate (including those in the armed services). http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p1828.pdf See pp. 5-8 et. seq especially |
