Jesus, Christians and Politics

Townhall  "More violations of religious liberty are on the way from the people currently in charge. Lesbian activist Chai Feldbaum, who is a recess appointment by President Obama to the EEOC, recently said regarding the inevitable conflict between homosexuality and religious liberty, “I’m having a hard time coming up with any case in which religious liberty should win.” So much for tolerance. The people who say they’re fighting for tolerance are the most intolerant, totalitarian people in politics."

What Americans Want "Arthur Brookes is the president of the American Enterprise Institute and author of The Battle: How the Fight Between Free Enterprise and Big Government Will Shape America's Future. Paul Ryan is a representative from Wisconsin who is also the author of "A Roadmap for America's Future." Both have looked at polling data to understand what Americans want."  Kerby Anderson; Point of View radio program.

Legislated Laryngitis / Silencing the Church (from Sept 23, 2010) " ADF concluded that the Johnson Amendment is unconstitutional because it violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment by requiring the government to excessively and pervasively monitor the speech of churches to ensure they are not in violation of the amendment. It violates the Free Speech clause of the same amendment since it requires the government to discriminate against speech based solely on its content and makes a tax exemption conditional on speech. Finally, it violates the Free Exercise Clause because it substantially burdens a church’s free exercise of religion."  Chuck Colson

How can Christians stop the abuse of the phrase 'separation of church and state'? 

Question: "For some 40 or so years, liberals have done everything they could to erase our Christian heritage, using the "separation of church and state" argument. Since it DOES NOT appear in our Constitution, I wonder why Christians can't do anything to stop the use of this statement. Groups like Alliance Defense Fund 'fight it' but no one really seems serious about do something to eliminate its use! Why not? "
