a short yet bizarre story for you:

southern baptist official "forgets" about the separation of church and state and officially endorses candidates.

americans united for the separation of church and state mentions to the irs that the southern baptist official did same, therefore violating tax laws.

southern baptist official tells his congregants to curse americans united for the separation of church and state.

no, really.

Wiley's retort to AU was swift, ferocious -- and bizarre. Caught dead to rights, he didn't even try to respond to particulars of AU's IRS complaint. Instead, he immediately launched into the kind of wild-eyed, paranoid magical thinking you'd expect from any embattled cult leader. Which is to say: In a press release issued yesterday, he ordered his flock to petition God, who in turn would avenge this attack by smiting AU's staff with poverty, starvation, scattered familes, and death.
