The church violated the separation of church and state by investing their non-profit funds ito a state ballot measure. Is there any requirement on funding of this sort related to thier Tax exempt status? Obviously I am ignorant of these paticulars so please excuse my curiosity. I think it stinks that prop 8 was even allowed to become a state ballot measure. While I do think the vehicle needs to be in place for we the people to overturn something we all think is wrong, I can not see how this one was even allowed to get approval since it was publicly funded by the church. So many people I have spoken to that voted yes on prop 8 had no idea that this was a separation issue and were upset that they voted to let a religion direct the state constitution. I am a straight rupublican. I believe in a God and that I have an immortal soul. I do not believe God will send homosexual people to a lake of burning fire or hell for finding and loving thier soul mate. Once you find another individual in this world that you share a deep and abiding mutual love and respect for then hold on because that is a difficult thing to find. I do not know what the christian and morman divorce rates are vs. homosexuals but I got a hunch its not that far apart. In the country I love we are all equal and equality is what our forefathers expected from the government and the people, from the nation they were creating. Separation of church and stae is a very good thing but only if we the people insist on it and enforce it.
