      Please speak to the people sitting beside you in the pews.

      They don’t seem to care what us godless heathens have to say. Maybe they’ll listen to a fellow believer.

        I do - just not when we’re in the pews.

        I will never discuss politics at church in the same way that I will never discuss religion at a City Council meeting. Separation of Church and State is good for both institution.

        Not like there’s a shortage of intra-Christian violence over interpretations of scripture. You can be a devote Christian and still know enough history not to pine for the 30 Years War or the Inquisition.
