But I think the way the word "cult" kept being bandied about in this connection certainly causes me to think that there was a lot of religious judging involved that wouldn't be in play if we were talking about 13 year old Baptists, Methodists and Episcopalians.R.

Thusly, the officials for the state of Texas who took this action were arrogant in judging that their concept of "religion" is the only one to be correct and all others are incorrect. Such is the problem when government officials factor in "religion" when taking actions on behalf of local, state, and federal governments. Therefore, it is imperative, in order to have freedom of religion and the separation of church and state, is for "ALL" government officials to not be blinded or prejudice concerning religion before taking actions. All this is said to express a deep feeling that I have for the separation of church and state, and problems always crop up when anyone uses their "religions" standards in deciding what is legally right; and I do not agree, from a religion or doctrinal basis, with the Mormans in Texas who had their children illegally taken from them.<BR/>God bless, Hoyt D.
