Now that everything appears to be tilted on it's head these days. Do you believe in separating church&state?

Question

It's only flag man.. Everybody relax. These strange times remind me of the episode on Star Trek where Cpt.Kirk meets his anti-matter self. All hell broke loose on board the Enterprise.( I remember in the final scene all the electricity that flew out of them as they wrestled.) Thank your sweet stars Kirk came out of it O.K. He did matter more than the anti-matter Kirk.

Answer 1

That's what the constitution says but it will never be that way. Too many bible thumpers in office turning their religious opinions into my laws. Not only is it wrong it should be illegal.

Answer 2

Only to the degree that the Founders intended. Our government is prohibited from establishing a national church, like the Church of England. Other than that, government's hostility towards religion in general, and Christianity in particular, began with the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has a history of undermining the Constitution going back to the days of FDR.

For the record, any Supreme Court decision can be set aside by a simple majority of both houses of Congress. This should have been done. And, justices of the Court can be removed for bad behavior (continually rendering decisions that are at odds with the intend of the Framers of the Constitution). This also, should have been done.

" It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible". - George Washington

" The Bible is the cornerstone of liberty". -- Thomas Jefferson"

"That Book (the Bible), sir, is the Rock on which our Republic rests". - Andrew Jackson

"It is God who gave us life and liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed the conviction that these liberties are a gift from God?" - Thomas Jefferson
"It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God and to obey His will". -- George Washington

" We stake the whole future history of this nation upon the ablility of its people to govern & control themselves according to the 10 Commandments". -- James Madison ...Chief Archetect of the US Constistution and 2nd Pres. of US.

"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians, not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ." - Patrick Henry

So why should we believe clueless atheists that are trying to convince us otherwise? I choose to believe our Founding Fathers and reject the atheists who are trying to re-write history to suit their own selfish agenda.

"America was founded as a Christian Nation according to John Adams: "The highest history of the American revolutionis this:It connected in ONE INDISSOLUABLE BOND the principles of civil government with the principles of CHRISTIANITY". -- John Adam - 2nd President of the U S

" The American nation from its first settlement at Jamestown to this hour is BASED UPON and permeated BY THE PRINCIPLES OF THE BIBLE". Supreme Court Justice David Joseph Breiver (1837-1910)

"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indespensible supports". - George Washington.
