True enough

Physicist Steven Weinberg of the University of Texas at Austin, has said:

There are good people, and bad people. Good people do good things, and bad people do bad things. When good people do bad things, it is religion.

I don't completely believe this, of course. I've seen too much genuine good done by religious people. But I think there's enough truth to this that we definitely need to preserve separation of church and state. Hmmm, I said "preserve". It's too late to preserve it, isn't it, because the boundaries are already severely eroded. What we need to do is recommit ourselves to that constitutional principle. Unfortunately, however, we are now headed for a theocracy and I don't see the likelihood of that being reversed.
