Seperation of Church and State?

[Xylochick216]

I don't think any preachers should be endorsing candidates, period. While I am 100% for Kerry, I don't think he should have had endorsement from these men. I just hate it when people use religion as a vehicle for candidates. Imagine how the people at that church who are pro-Bush felt, just as people at a pro-Kerry church would feel if someone in an authoritative position at their church were endorsing Kerry. As dumb as it sounds, when someone with influence in a church endorses a candidate, I think people in the church may feel as if their views are wrong and they should vote the way the church is influencing them. To me, that is horrible. I'm glad I go to a church where I am allowed to think for myself and I do not have to defend myself for voting the way I do.
