19. I'd be scared of the results.

Edited on Thu Sep-28-06 11:30 PM by LostInAnomie

Can you imagine the effect it would have on our political system if candidates could claim that they have the support of the Southern Baptists, Catholics, etc. It would honestly turn into people seeking papal blessings for their candidacy, or claiming that they are the party of God.

I understand that for the most part this already happens, but not in an overt and legally protected way. I fear wedding God and politics any more than we already do. Taxing churches would cause more problems than it would solve.
