Some will tell you our founding fathers thought an injection of religion into government would be bad medicine. Perhaps Richie Sambora was related to them and they were just worried government would get addicted to that monkey on our back. I'm okay with protecting my church from the greedy fingers of the law, but you can't have it both ways; If you want the government to share in the profits of the huge organized money making venture, you're going to have to accept a few commandments in court rooms and prayers in kindergarten. Some of those kids really need to pray anyway.
How could a small company compete today if it's not faith-based? The only alternative is the defense industry, corrections or homeland security. We've outsourced all the smart jobs, so it has to be either organized crime or extremely soft metrics. Look at Katrina; everyone talks about how bad it was, but do we know how much worse it could have been? Until we have another hurricane in New Orleans within 5 years of a major terrorist attack while we're fighting two wars, we'll never know and we set the bar pretty low for improvement the next time around. Now you want to tax the charities too? Like a potion that can cure all your diseases, all you (the government) have to do is accept the love of God and that Jesus died for your sins and you can be part of the club. It's an offer you can't refuse.
First you need, then you bleed, now you're down on your knees.
