It is obvious that Jefferson was talking about a one way wall to prevent government from interfering with the free exercise of religion. In no way, shape or form can we surmise that prevents the church from having an influence on every area of society, as we should. The church should be influencing the media, should be influencing arts and entertainment, sports, education, business and, yes, government. Now, let's just see what has happened in the last forty years. In 1962, and 1963, prayer and Bible study were taken out of schools and the church remained silent. Their excuse? It's a political issue. How can you infer that prayer and Bible study are a political issue, I don't know, but that's what the churches say. The consequence of their silence was after 1963, teen pregnancy skyrocketed and violent crime skyrocketed.

.....

Just recently, the Supreme Court struck down parts of the Defense of Marriage Act. Again, the church remained silent. Same excuse: it's a political issue. Consequence: the erosion of the traditional family. The question is, how long are we going to remain silent? But the more important question is, will God hold us accountable for our silence?
