Protesters went too far this time People protesting against religion in government have gone a bit too far this time, we think. A group called Americans United for Separation of Church and State raised a howl when Gov. Sam Brownback appeared at a religious rally a couple of weeks ago. “The governor is really overstepping his constitutional bounds,” the group said in a release. “He was elected to serve as governor of our state, not our state pastor-in-chief.” So what exactly did the activist group object to? According to press reports, the governor talked that day about how he turned to God after learning he had cancer in 1995. “I finally reached up and said, ‘God, this life’s yours,’” the governor said. “It started a great adventure.” He ended his talk by praying for forgiveness of his sins and the sins of others. Organizers of the ReignDown USA event denied that they wanted political leaders to enforce any kind of religious belief on the state. The event was designed to promote “humility, prayer and repentance,” they said. What really ticked Americans United off, however, apparently was a proclamation the governor issued beforehand declaring the day of the rally as “a day of restoration.” That amounted to the governor using his office to promote religion, the group said. “The people of Kansas do not need politicians telling us when, how or whether to pray,” Vickie Sandell Stangl, president of the Great Plains Chapter, said in the statement. “If anybody needs to repent, it’s Gov. Brownback. He needs to repent for violating the constitutional separation of church and state.” Thanks for a great year Goodland So was the governor promoting religion or just exercising his right to believe?
