I heard a guy being interviewed on NPR today about how whats missing in social servies is pastors and the word of god. He was talking about Africa specifically..doesnt he realize "the church" has been selling its wares in Africa for over a thousand years now and the whole continent is still a starving disease ridden slum.
Anyhoo this story about the churches being let into public schools here in Jacksonville really has my feathers ruffled. Its following in the footsteps of this other story about how the city held an interfaith prayer breakfast without any other faiths beyond evangelical christian invited. The reason we need such a hard line stance on keeping all facets of religion out of the pubic sector is because these religious zombies are so persistent and sneaky. If we could trust that churches would stay neutral and provide services without proselytizing. but we cant cause they are master manipulators who will keep testing the boundaries and getting away with whatever they can get away with
