Separation of Church and state originated in England when Queen Elizabeth came to power - it was called the Elizabethan Compromise.

Ernesto Guevara, his visage still graces cuban paper money. He was too foolish to realize that South American men were poured of mettle far less brittle than anything that would subscribe to the efluviant that he spewed.

Typical attemted witty remark, then dodge.  Truth is you were just rambling about something you "thought" you understood/knew about, and when it comes right down to it, don't have a clue.  A much used tactic on this BBS that is really just getting "old" to me.

Those folks, these text genererators, the revisionists, are smarter than me. By a long shot. But they don't fool me.

One thing I dig about the US constitution is.... at its core... it makes sense. It feels right. Fundamental truths. Human truths.

This religious bullchit? It feels like a splinter. It's off. I don't care how many scholars make the case for me believing that religion has a place in government... it will never feel right.


Ok, this is an excellent example.  I know that there are people right now at this very minute generating text as to how and monkeys could fly out of your butt.  I know that there are people right now at this very minute generating text as to how and why Snausages and Bonny Tyler (turn around, bright eyes's....) are inextricable coupled.

Now what did you say there... you know that some people some where that are smarter than you (gasp!) are typing out how/why church and state should be together.  AND that they are not fooling you.  Woot! WTG Big Guy!  Glad that fringe element nutbags are not able to pull the wool over your eyes.

They you say the bit 'bout the scholars trying to make you believe that religion has a place in the govt, and that it "feels" wrong.  

Total blather.  It's almost like you and Toad are having two differnet conversations.   Toad is talking about Constitutional Law, and how the whole "seperation of church and state" came about, and you are talking about, well, I am not sure quite how to describe what you ar talking about.  Hmmmm....  tough one there.  Please, PLEASE produce something that resembles even kind of  a fact on this issue, not spewing some disjoined drivel.  Or...light up another one, toke away, and keep me entertained and laughing at all the intelligentsia wanna be's on this bbs and the hillarious junk they type.

I too am waiting for any so called "proof" that you might have on this subject.

Yes... but WHICH invisible magic friends? Too many different religions and too many different magical friends. Maybe everyone doesn't want to be constricted to JeBush's Friend.
I like worshipping the sun. At least I know where to find it.  :p

The way I've always read the constitution is that Government can have a religion.  They just can't give any benefits or punish you for use of lack of use of that religion.

nash I agree with totally. But you will never get agreement from the cult members who think their religious values are something that should be legislated.


Take a look around Silat.  Christian values are already legislated.
