Political Stuff.

Ah, well. I have little expectation (or maybe just a LOT of hope) that this will get anywhere beyond the talking stage. But just the idea that an elected representative /is/ talking about repealing constitutional seperation of church and state, if only on the state level, and not being widely denouced as a bleeding moron...that worries me.

But, the optimist in me insists that Florida is the /least/ likely state in the South to ever pass such an initiative. So, hopefully.

Eh. I have problems with religious institutions recieving state money, full stop. All too often, religious institutions are unable to provide aid without selling their religion as well, and ideally, in my opinion, the government should never be supporting any religious belief, directly or indirectly.

And so far, if my sources (which I've blanked on, bah) are to be believed, the relaxing of "money to religious charity-type organizations" has been... only to Christian organizations.

I.e., either they fund ALL religions equally, or they should fund none...

Ther've been some Jewish organisations, and I think one Muslim organisation may have received some funds (at least, before 9/11,) but for the most part it's practically a Christian-only thing.
