Obama Faith Advisory Council to Meet for First Time Next Week

It never seems to amaze me how this President and his administration want to rule over all bodies. I am fearful of any government that seeks to give and support faith based organizations. It becomes a political and controlling arm of the governing body. Religious organizations should remain true to their convictions not their connections. Whenever a church or religious organization take in government money, they are bound to their leadership a not free to do what is right for all people in the communities. Churches should do the ministry they have been entrusted with without the hand of the government leading the way.

". . . and international interreligious dialogue. . . "
This interests me. I wonder what "international interreligious dialogue" would look like. I wonder what "national interreligious dialogue" would look like. Seems like an exciting prospect...

WHERE IS THE ACLU NOW? I THOUGHT THIS ORGANIZATION WAS FOR THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE, BUT IT APPEARS THAT THEIR CANDIDATE CAN DO NO WRONG. WHAT IF GEORGE BUSH, RONALD REAGAN, OR GOD FORBID RICHARD NIXON ORGANIZED A "FAITH BASED ADVISORY COUNCIL"? CAN ANYONE SAY STATE SANCTIONED RELIGIOUS POLICY WITH THE GOVERNMENT AS THE PRIMARY GIVER OF "CHARITY" TO THEIR BEHOLDEN SUBJECTS. ARE WE NOW A MONARCHY, THEOCRACY, OR DEMOCRACY?
