Separation of Church and State Is A Sin

You know you've gotta be exceptionally extreme when the Republicans won't even have your back for you. I just came across this article on CNN about a recent Kartherine Harris interview with a Christian journal.
Separation of church and state is "a lie we have been told," Harris said in the interview, published Thursday, saying separating religion and politics is "wrong because God is the one who chooses our rulers."

"If you're not electing Christians, then in essence you are going to legislate sin," Harris said.
I think even the most right leaning of Republicans realize they don't need to be perpetrating discrimination and closed-mindedness to this extent.

I suppose its possible to find truth in the statement that the separation of church and state is a lie, but under quite different contexts than she would have her supporters believe.

And what a great thing to be teaching the younger generations. Don't work hard, and strive to make change and gain positions of power, cause after all, God's just gonna grab a name from a hat, and badda boom you're a ruler. Kick back, frat party it up, smoke some dope, skip out on any chance to fill the shoes of a hero; you'll have plenty of chance to send hundreds of thousands more without ever being one after all, once God chooses you!....On second thought, maybe that is the thing to be teaching the kids, its obviously worked for some.
