User ID: 41632673 United States 01/04/2014 07:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's about time that someone reads the establishment clause to the supreme court. It very clearly states that the government shall make no law to establish a religion. It doesn't say a fucking word about the separation of church and state. The only mention "separation of church and state" by the founders was in a letter (I think it was written by Madison, but I could be wrong) that was about keeping the government out of the church, not the other way around. All the founders were very clear about where the values they tried to ensure came from. Contrary to the progressive bullshit being passed around today, the founders were all very religious. I am not a very religious person, I do know that America would be a very different place without the Judeo-Christian values the founders gave us in our founding documents. It is time for America to return to the Constitutional government that served us so well for the first 150 years. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe |

Quoting: Epic Beard Guy That was Thomas Jefferson to whom you are referring, and you are absolutely, 100% correct; there is ZERO phrase(s) in the US Constitution relating to "Separation of Church and State". This is a phrase that the uneducated pick up from their betters, and parrot to and hold over the heads of those who are even less educated in order to pursue their agenda. For the last thirty or so years, it has worked. It has worked so well that many believe it to be so, however, not one of those repeating the phrase (from either side) could be bothered to simply READ their Constitution. And we wonder why we're in such a damned mess. Job 12:7) But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: 8) Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. |

I'm not particularly religious, but seeing a nativity scene wouldn't irk me one bit, nor would I wish to see it removed. As someone once said, it "neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." |

I don't think it's impossible to say either way. Religion is single-handedly the prime motivating factor responsible for more deaths, abuse, torture and war in this world than I care to list. Not to mention all the hate, the arguments, the tearing apart of families and friends, and the dividing of mankind throughout the world. I rest my case your honor.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 44422712 Abomination of desolation is what tptb wanted. It hasn't been difficult for them to achieve it at all. 82% of Americans SAY they are Christians and we have very few religious freedoms or rights left. No one has said a word, no protests, no fights in courts, nothing to combat keeping our freedom of religion. Amazing how fast this country is disintegrating once they started slaughtering religion. To those who don't like the Nativity scene? Don't look. I hope their neighbors set a permanent one up. |

It is about following the LAW. It is about the fact that America is NOT a christian nation. Get over it. BULL! This is about left vs. right, believers vs. non believers and we both KNOW IT!
