#232 Do Not Conflate Spiritual Guidance with Politics

Calif. priest tells Obama supporters to confess because any supporter of Obama is a supporter of abortion and abortion is wrong, wrong, wrong if you attend Reverend Joseph Illo's Church of the Intolerant and Overbearing Faith. He appears to have no issue with the war in Iraq or fertility clinics which kill hundreds or thousands of embryos in the process of inseminating wannabe mothers.

Last I checked there was supposed to be a clear distinction between church and state in this nation. Rev. Illo is unabashedly using his position as spiritual leader to try and dictate political beliefs and actions.

Notwithstanding the fact that single issue voting is a disservice to the process of democracy and a gross over-simplification of the issues facing the nation, what Rev. Illo has done is just plain wrong.

Rule #232 is Do Not Conflate Spiritual Guidance with Politics
