besides, anyone can interpret the bible to fit their needs - i would think for safety's sake, it's best to stick with what it actually says in words without torturous interpretation.

i worry about a large group of people listening to a guy who hears voices. it could be god, but if he was plain joe blow, he'd probably be under observation...

You're right about the church and state.

Regarding various interpretations of the bible a great site to visit is The Skeptics Annotated Bible It lists contradictions, conflicts with known science, mentions of sex and homosexuality etc. etc. Really good stuff if you have to counter some preacher who thinks he's the will of God, as I had to do recently.

Being a former foster child the part of his bill I find most disturbing is removing children who are currenlty placed in same sex foster homes. It's so hard to get placed in a foster home while living in an orphanage or "group home". It's a true shame if this bill passes.
