another reason why it is hard to be a southern baptist....

ok, so the following was on-line today.....A Southern Baptist leader says the Florida judge who ordered the removal Schiavo's feeding tube has resigned his membership in a Southern Baptist church.

The Reverend Richard Land told NBC's "Meet the Press" that Judge George Greer and the Baptist church he attended in Clearwater came "to a mutual agreement that he resigned his membership."

The St. Petersburg Times says the pastor of Calvary Baptist Church wrote Greer a letter warning that, quote: "In all likelihood it is this case which will define your career and this case that you will remember in the waning days of life."

I applaud the courage of this judge to side with the law rather than with the whims of his church, or any other church in such an important matter.....our founding fathers went to great lengths to separate church and state....and this past week has proven them quite right............
