I don’t know if you heard about this or not, but an Iowa church is embroiled in controversy after being challenged by a member for making available pamphlets on the upcoming judicial retention vote in our state. When the female member appealed to the I.R.S., the Pastor allegedly stated from the pulpit that he’d “like to slap that woman,” further insinuating that her husband needed to put her in her place, whatever that means.

I’m not sure which is worse. The fact that the Pastor felt he had biblical authority to speak as he did? Or the likelihood that the 150 members of the congregation will be back Sunday for more of the same? Or that the majority of religious people in America really don’t know anything about what the law really says about separation of church and state?
