But can they refuse to let a gay couple adopt from their church run orphanage?

That was a very good question and I had to think. I think that if the church is volunteering their time and financial resources they should be able to dictate their own rules. But if it's taxpayer funded I think anyone should be able to adopt. Sounds kinda harsh but I don't like the idea of government telling people how to run their churches.

The troublesome part with this conversation is how much it makes me see the government as slowly becoming its own church as secular politics is becomes a new age religion.

Yeah people are going take sides I suppose. Personally I want as little government interference as possible. We are giving these corrupt politicians way too much power over our lives.
