Separating Church and State ?!? But God's Everywhere!

When I read this story in the NYT this morning... Man things made me angry and vexed.

The governor of Texas went out of his ways to sign TWO bills in a evangelical school. Both had religious repercussions, one being to make it harder for teens to get abortions and the other to BAN same sex marriages.

What really hurt my head was this line:

Rabbi David Stone of the Beth Yeshua Messianic Jewish Congregation in Fort Worth, was, in fact, present and gave the closing benediction. The group believes that Jesus was the Messiah, a tenet heretical to traditional Jews.

Yeah... because if 'traditional Jews' believed in Jesus, they'd be CHRISTIAN.
They brought up this "Jewish group" as a way to say 'it's not just us Christians who believe this way...' Well I'm sorry but if EVERY who believes what you believe in also believes that Jesus is Christ... Then it is indeed a 'Christian thing'

But from another pov, if the governor of Texas TRULY believes that God is everywhere- as he says at the end of the article- then why the heck did he have to sign the bill on SUNDAY at a evangelical school. I mean wouldn't God have paid as much attention if the Gov. had signed it Monday in the Gov.'s office?
The governor KNEW what he was doing. He knew he was merging church and state, and he's hoping that he'll get the votes next November because like his leader, he's made sure that he's on the same ballot as the 'gay question'.

And that really is the thing that I find pathetic, that the republicans have decided that THEY get votes for denying fellow humans the same rights they want- and last November the voting public of 11 states showed that the republican party was right about that.
