Testing the Faith Of "Merging Church and State"
I have a question for those who believe that Church and State should be merged: how much would you contribute to the various bailouts that have been going on and proposed lately?
America is in an economic downward spiral. Our housing industry, Wall Street and the auto industry is/has been in shambles. People and businesses alike are going bankrupt or at the very least filing.
Corporate America has come to Congress (aka, the State) for financial help. For the most part, they've all gotten something. So it's not far fetched to think that if Church and State were one, that the various religious factions would be asked to fork over some dough as well.
So: how much of the Tithes and Offerings would be acceptable to help Corporate America get back on its feet? What about the Building Fund? I'm not just talking about money to help one person who lost their job because of this mess, or even a small community, I'm talking about AIG and Ford Motors.
So again, to the proponents of Church merging with State: how much would you be willing to contribute to the Big Bailout?
