Just do not expect me to pay for your choices with my tax dollars. And do not expect me to support laws that force me to do so. That is unconstitutional because we have a First Amendment that separates church and state. Unfortunately, our Supreme Court and many Republican legislators have chosen to ignore that Amendment and its prohibition against establishing a state religion.
