Thick crust Supreme with a few nuts on top...

"WASHINGTON, Oct. 2 /Christian Wire Service/ -- National Clergy Council president, the Reverend Rob Schenck (pronounced SHANK), today attended the annual Red Mass that included President George Bush and newly appointed Chief Justice John Roberts, as well as other prominent officials including Supreme Court associate justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Anthony Kennedy and Stephen Breyer."After today's service, it would be hard for anyone to argue that America doesn't have a strong Judeo-Christian heritage. You had the heads of the executive and judicial branches and representatives from the legislative branch fully participating in the prayers, hymn singing and even in a clear profession of Christian faith," said Reverend Schenck. "There was no separation of church and state today."

"At the 1992 Democratic Convention, Schenck was arrested and detained by the Secret Service for rushing Bill Clinton with a dead fetus in his hands, screaming about abortion. He and his brother were the people who first invited Operation Rescue to Buffalo to picket Dr. Barnett Slepian, a local abortion provider. For years, they marched outside Slepian’s home and office with threatening signs, some of which called the doctor “pig.” In 1998, Slepian was shot dead at his home. His alleged murderer, James Kopp, was arrested in France in late March."

The beautiful thing about AMERICA is that it is a country that embraces all religions...well, maybe it used to...
It seems that Christianity, especially BAPTISTS have taken the country by the short and curlies. My family has yet to find a church in the Tulsa area that can' t keep politics out of the service. I visited a church (Indian Springs Baptist Church in B.A., Ok) that for 3 sermons in a row last year pre-election, preached on homosexuality. Then closed the service with "voter registration cards are in the foyer". The preacher, welcome committee came to my house several times until I put a John Kerry sign on my front lawn.
I know this is a far-fetched concept for most religious persons...but some people in America aren't God-fearing, but law-abiding. They have respect for life, but don't believe in Creationism. They want their kids to grow up as responsible adults, yet don't force feed them hell and damnation. Do I believe God exists? Yes. Do I believe the Bible is a roadmap to living a good life...yes. Doesn't mean that my neighbor has too...but we both are equal under the law. An athiest and a Southern Baptist have the same equality when they walk into a courthouse. Thanks to the Constitution, that is.
