RANDOM LOGICAL THOUGHTS

So I'm just cruising around the net checking up on recent postings and whatnot because it's a lazy Saturday morning (the business will come later), and I ran across this post over at Talk to Action.

You may have seen the news item about SBC pastor Wiley Drake who is advocating imprecatory prayer to smite his enemies -- those being all the people who advocate for the separation of church and state. Seems he thinks a U.S. theocracy is the only way to go, and those who disagree are enemies of Drake, God and human decency everywhere and should be struck dead on the spot.

But what caught my attention about the T2A post was this comment from Drake:

"I have never have been worried about the IRS," he said. "They don't scare me. I don't give a rip about the IRS. I don't believe in the separation of church and state and I believe the IRS should stay out of church business."

Let me see . . . he doesn't believe in the separation of church and state. He believes the IRS should stay out of church business. The IRS, last time I looked, was a state agency.

So if the IRS is a state agency, and there is no separation of church and state, shouldn't the IRS have as much free access to the church as they want? I mean, isn't this a little bit like the R&D department head saying, "I believe the accounting department should stay out of the R&D department"?

What am I missing here?
