There is a lot of talk about the separation of church and state with the focus on the injection of religion into the politics of our state and country.
The missed aspect is that we should also not politicize our churches. It demeans the purpose. Go to your place of worship with a free heart and open spirit. Leave the worldly burdens at home for a few hours. The politics of our states and country do not belong in that hour. Let that hour renew your faith in God, in whatever form that takes, and the basic good of people.
Come away from that hour feeling good, renewed.
I am, as noted in my signature line, running for the FL H-82. I am running against a fundamentalist. I object to his use of his church as a base, and I would be a hypocrite to advocate the same policy.
I do not attend church because of the political and social undertones. I found that I was working hard to look past it and hear what God would say to me. Finally, I just worship alone. My faith is very important to me. It is based on science and logic. I will add that many that delve deeply into logic, math, physics (and the other sciences) have a faith defined on what they discover.
If you wish to know the entire basis of my faith, I'll post it. It's better to hear it live from me, since it is an argument that challenges the mindset. Faith and politics belong in this world...apart.
