Comments:Pat Robertson endorses Rudy Giuliani for President

Wall of Separation
Amazing! Yet another “story” about a religious figure messing in US politics, so much for separation of church and state. And it is only our national complacency, our lack of individual will in the maintenance of our government, that allows these waters to be constantly muddied in this manner. Does god by inference endorse Rudolph Giuliani’s candidacy? Shouldn’t we, as members of an egalitarian democracy, ask the representation from a variety of deities to cover all our bases?

Thomas Jefferson amongst others developed a “Wall of Separation” between these two aspects of social order and cultural organization. Originally the idea was that government should not become involved in the deeply personal matters of religion or the relationship between a man and his god. This wall was intended to prevent traffic in both directions, a critical point that contemporary Americans have completely ignored. Where else in the world would one be able to find civil governments so deeply influenced by the messages some deity may have passed along to his closest human intimates? How is this sitation working out for the average Joe in any sample Islamic regime?

The balance maintained by this check cannot exist unless the citizens of the country enforce the notion as a matter of personal policy. We own our relationship with our god and we must disregard any attempt to usurp this individual liberty. If I want to know who Pat Robertson votes for President in the next election I’ll visit his church November 9th, 2008. --Wonkothesane 01:45, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Not the first bad call from this one
Well, Robertson was the head cheerleader for Liberian dictator Charles Taylor, and we know how that went. He can sure pick 'em... 70.15.116.59 05:02, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Did the "Religious Right" even exist before Reagan?
Forgive a non-American for not knowing all the gory details of how these wing-nut evangelicals have any political influence, but didn't they used to say their congregations shouldn't vote? --Brian McNeil / talk 23:41, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
