Reply #61: IIRC, some European countries still have established churches [View All]

[Retrograde]

Germany collects taxes on behalf of some churches (see http://www.germany-info.org/relaunch/info/archives/background/church.html for details), and I think the Scandanavian countries still have established churches.

Maybe the way to deal with this administration is to carry their proposals to their logical extremes. Scalia wants more religion in government, does he? Let's bring back the old European principal of cuius regio, eius religion - simply put, everybody adopts the religion of the ruler. Or doesn't Scalia want to be a Baptist or whatever Bush is? Tough: if they're going to take this country to the dogs I say they should do it with style.
