There needs to be a discussion. Churches are getting money from the government now for their faith based initiatives. Government money should not be going to churches, because then there might be some agenda setting going on.

There must be discussion, there must be a line drawn. Someone with nothing to lose must start the agenda....and Howard Dean at this point has nothing to lose by doing this.

There must be a line that when stepped over requires them to pay taxes, not be tax-exempt.

Remember when Jerry Falwell said this:

Falwell says evangelicals control GOP, Bush's fat

WASHINGTON – "The Rev. Jerry Falwell said yesterday that evangelical Christians, after nearly 25 years of increasing political activism, now control the Republican Party and the fate of President Bush in the November election.

The Republican Party does not have the head count to elect a president without the support of religious conservatives," Falwell said at an election training conference of the Christian Coalition"
