I don't think there can be a seperation of church and state because most laws are based on religion. Such as stealing, killing someone, they are based on the Ten Commandments in the Bible. Ever since our government started there has always been a connection with church and state.

Oh my, "made up by Jefferson and his cronies?" Well it is not worded that way in the bill of rights and Jefferson did interpret it that way but who better to do so that the author.
I wish the people who have the complaints against it, who mainly are Christians, would realize that it is for their benefit, as well as any other belief systems. That way you are guaranteed you can worship any way you want. No government is going to tell you how to. That is up to you and the church you choose. It also means you can tell me I should worship the way you do, but in no way can you make me, or my children, actually do so.

History tellls us that the only people who want sectarian states have exactly two motives:
1) they want the power to force others to act in accordance with their beliefs--in other words, to be a dictator or
2) More often, to use the power of the state to take money from those who don't share their particulaar religious beliefs--in other words, to be a theif.

was created so the state could not negate the church or have control over the church or tell people they HAD to believe in this church or that.....

Is extremely important to hold up, so that some one doesn't set the rules that govern my life on principles I don't believe.

Doesn't exist. Made up by Jefferson and his group of cronies.
