You'll love this story. I cannot believe someone this completely simple minded was voted into office and I really am sad there are people that even voted for her. This is a State Representative.
She was horrified to find out a religious voucher program she voted for would benefit other religions besides Christianity!

This is another reason why I strongly favor true separation of Church and State in the strongest terms possible.
I don't want people in office that rely on mythology and messages from their imaginary friend as a baseline for making decisions that affect my life.

And all religious entities need to pay taxes. I don't like my tax dollars being used to fund anything to do with religion. I would rather my tax dollars be used to fund programs for feeding hungry people in my state rather than vouchers for religious schools where they basically fail children educationally by teaching them the totally laughable creation science and how God made the earth and animals.


So here's the big political fail I am talking about this time.

Louisiana Rep. Valarie Hodges voted for the governor's

I agree completely. I am a Catholic, but among my best friends are Muslims, Baptists, Nazarenes, a local sect called "Iglesia Ni Cristo" and two belonging to Hare Khrisna. Life is difficult by itself, why include divisiveness as another means to make life difficult? I can understand how Rep. Hodges arrived at her decision. But understanding others' point of view, and their religious beliefs, can be used as a channel for understanding and peace.

I am so in agreement with you. It is so much better to connect with people in the ways that we can find we are alike rather than worry about how we are different or finding divisions. Humanity would leap forward at lightning speed if we could get past petty differences. :)
