Justice Sunday, and Congresspeople as quiet as church mice

This church in Nashville, as I write this, is hosting the Justice Sunday II live television program. The purpose of Justice Sunday is to push the evangelical beliefs of the Family Research Council and to rally congregations to insist that such beliefs be part of the federal judicial system. The Family Research Council is vehemently anti-choice and anti-gay.

Two Rivers Baptist Church and all the churches who simulcast the event are boldly showing their tax-exempt asses to the entire nation, and no one who could do anything seems to care. The fact that I am paying for them to both promote an agenda of hate and ignorance and spit at the Constitution enrages me. I realize, in faireness, that the members of those churches probably resent paying for such things as the NEA and public education, but the difference is that churches have a special (as in "ridiculous") tax-exempt status, and it is alarming that they can publicly push a specific government agenda and retain that status.
