I don't know about you kids, but...

I'm not comfortable with the idea of the president of the united states saying things like "I am mindful that we're all sinners". Not only because I happen to disagree with that statement, but also because, well, there's that whole separation of church and state thing. That's an appropriate statement from a pastor or a priest, but not so much from a government official, especially the one that's supposedly running this whole show here. Or at least that's the way things go in my world.

And then there's the whole same-sex marriage thing. In my world, either marriage is a civil affair, primarily concerned with things like tax codes and property rights, and powers of attorney, and things like that, in which case it has nothing to do with religion, and morality or immorality shouldn't enter into the matter, or marriage is a religious affair, primarily concerned with creating some ideal soul-state for the moral advancement of the people entering into it, in which case, religious institutions should get to decide who they will and will not marry, and government shouldn't enter into the matter.

But hey, that's just me, and I could be wrong.
