re: #525 Slumbering Behemoth

Excellent title that, “When God Becomes a Drug”.

Oh, I could tell you about some of my relative’s addictions.

I guess it has been reprinted as this. Some of the comments are good.

“One other concern that I have as I continue to study this subject is the subtlety of its intrusion into politics. When it comes to addiction, there IS no separation of church and state. In fact, this separation, if it exists at all, *only* exists for the state — not for any church, unless it benefits *them*. They don’t pay taxes, but they still find it perfectly acceptable to advocate for legislation from the pulpit and to lobby our representatives and to pass out post cards for the congregation to fill out in the middle of a service. It’s a despicable practice, and one that becomes even more troublesome within the context of spiritual addiction.”
