Why I Oppose the President's "Faith-Based" Initiatives
Not only will Pagans, Wiccans, and Satanists be eligible, but so will Planned Parenthood, Inc.

From Fort Wayne Community Foundation grants:
Planned Parenthood of Indiana Inc.: $5,000 for the Faith-Based Partnership program designed to create a partnership and alliance between the agency and local faith communities to help deliver information and education on sexuality issues in the context of the faith communities’ moral beliefs.
Like Jesus, I am for separation of Church and State: Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

Let religious belief influence governance, as politics is an exercise in morality, but do not let government influence religion. Separation of Church and State, a phrase not found in the Constitution, should protect Church from State, not vice versa. After all, a virtuous State has nothing to fear from members of the Church.
