Ted, To have a minister demand that his parishioners vote a certain way or resign is not only illegal but unconscionable. It certainly isn't illegal. The pastor could do whatever he wanted, and the congregation was free to follow or leave for another church. Or go through the normal bureaucratic channels to remove him. This is far from the "US Taliban" as JF would like to portray it. Now if the pastor got into public office and started dictating that citizens of a town become Christian or leave, that would obviously be illegal. It tells me that people are feeling very strongly about certain issues and that the schism that divides this country is not about to go away quietly. I think some people feel a little too strongly about issues that really don't matter in the long run. Meanwhile, most of us forget about the real problems underlying it all and choose to focus only on the surface. I guess we can either hope for a crisis to unify us all, or hope for the next bubble so that we can all feel rich, at least for a while. ;-) Tenchusatsu
