I have been hard pressed of late to understand the mind set of so-called religious leaders who dabble into politics. Who in the name of the God they claim to serve authorized them to prescribe policy or dole out advice on behalf of the rest of us – Christian, Muslim, Pagan, Agnostic, believer and unbeliever? What part of the separation of Church and State do they not understand? Any time we read or hear of a Reverend James Dobson, Jeremiah Wright, John Hagee and Pastor Pfleger etc., there always seem to be a hint that these self-righteous crusaders want the United States to be a theocracy.
