Politics and religion—nothing else matters more

I'm puzzled when people say politics and religion don't mix like to do so is driving drunk.

• Have you ever been in a black church? 
• Should abuse of unborn children not be spoken of in church because it's been political since 1973,
• or in the state house because that evil is Biblical for the last how many thousand years?
• What about women's rights? Is stealing the value of women's labor a sin or a political wrong?
• Right to work union abuses? Forcing a teacher or contractor to pay dues to support something they don't agree with is what? 
• Is polluting the rivers and lakes only political, or does the Bible address how to take care of the earth?
• You do know that the word "penitentiary" comes from the spiritual term "penitent," don't you? 
• Are crooked elected officials a political problems or a sin problem? 
• Who was it who pushed the slavery issue to the forefront of America's conscience?
• Is gay marriage a religious or political issue?
• Is ignorance of first amendment problems in the HHS Mandate a political or a church problem if it takes away religious freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution?

In the U.S. we were guaranteed at one time that the state would not encroach on the church, but the state grabbed more and more of the conversation real estate, so at some point, you'll just have to talk about it.
