Hand and Hand

We are always supposed to have church and government separate from each other. However, that has not been happening, with McCain recruiting church goers to help his campaign for the last 72 hours. Also protestants churches in 14 states have been giving brochures with issues of important meaning to the church such as gay marriages, and abortions and where each candidates stand in each issues. The flier also had information that Obama wanted to give sex education to children in kindergarten. This was a very controversial statement earlier on in the campaign when Obama stated he wanted little kindergarteners to know what a good touch bad touch was. I think this is actually a good idea because children should know that not every adult should touch children especially in certain ways. Now, the consequences of mixing church and government can be detrimental. With consequence of losing their tax exempt churches are still putting that aside and making their belief come together with our system of government. The U.S. conference of Bishop stated that catholic churches should not be encouraged to distribute a type of information towards a candidate and their beliefs in church. Church should not be mixed with politics even though obviously it is. With Republicans usually being Christian or Catholic and letting it know, we can see the clear line of connection.
