Hello Daniel!

 DP> It's text that I also interpret as separation of church and state.

Notice how "make no law establishing... or prohibiting"

"make no law"..

Its in the details.

It doesnt say separate or separation.

If it did, it would be illegal for Congress to have Chaplains or the
symbolism of religion that adorns the USSC.

So as a non-believer myself, I am happy to be apathetic about it as opposed
to being a subscriber to the fear mongering you and Ceppa subscribe to.

AFAIC, people like you and Dan represent a far greater danger to our
society than any holy roller.

Those people have genetic defects too.

 >> Is there such a thing as a Democrat whom is a Holy Roller?

 DP> Not so much, because most Democrat politicians aren't as beholden to
 DP> the religious right.  But, they do still pander to them, such as
 DP> Democrats who will not support equal rights for homosexual couples,
 DP> abortion rights, etc.

You mean those whom dont want to redefine the definition of marriage???

Abortion should not like ordering fast food or used as a form of contraception.

Arent you glad your mother made the correct choice?
