On my way home from work a couple of days ago, I saw the following bumper sticker: “The last time we mixed government and religion people got burned at the stake.” That pretty well sums up how I feel about the federal task force Senator Harry Reid is trying to put together.
It is true that fraud and abuse need to be stopped, but I get really tired of hearing that polygamists use their religion as a guise under which they commit all kinds of horrendous deeds.
If the government wants to protect people from abuse, I support them in that – but I’d also like to remind them that government has no business trying to legislate morality.
