Letter to the Editor - Austin American Statesman
Keep religion out, please

Based on Sunday's editorial page, there appear to be a growing number of calls for greater control by clergy and politicians over society's "moral values." Well, thanks, but no thanks. Ever since organized Christianity went to bed with the Republican Party, the poor are hungrier, gay people have been relegated to second-class status, the rich have gotten richer, the environment has gotten filthier, the national debt has hit all time highs and we're hated the world over more than ever. The religious wingnuts have had their chance, and they've lost all credibility with me. I'll be my own moral guide.
