TweetI'm thinking that it's not JohnnyB but it has been a while since I read the constitution which was in my Business Law class for my MGMGT degree.

TweetI sure don't,this country was founded on christan beliefs,their should be no seperation between the two.

TweetYes there needs to be a seperation so the bible thumpers dont go off on a tangent forcing THEIR beliefs on everyone else. Their religion is their beliefs there should be NO reason on why I should have to abide by someone elses beliefs. That there would be unconstitutional.

TweetI dont think we force are beliefs at all bro.We just tell it like it is,their's only one prince of peace bro,jesus is his name in case you forgoton.

TweetIt's in there. It's not a matter of whether you believe it's in there or not; it's there.

Bill of Rights

Amendment I



Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

he may not have forgotten bro, he may just not agree! and it ALMOST sounds like your TRYING to prove his point. i think our for fathers were very clear about NO-ONE being prossecuted for their beliefs, whatever they may be, but they certainly were christian infuenced.

not in those words, "seperation of chruch and state".

I'll second Roark
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" meaning government cannot endorse any religion, even if you think yours is right.

Tweetyes there should be a separation of church and state..for the simple reason that not everyone beleives in the same god. This separation is diminishing and were a step closer to fascist gov't.

scary thought! You just described a theocracy.

this country was influenced by christian beliefs and not the way most christians claim. The F.F. wanted a nation opposed to religious persecution, i.e. puritan type laws (christians).

Tweetexactly... keep your religious beliefs to yourself and at church. I dont want some religious nutt telling my kids how to believe. I dont want my day to day life dictated by some bible thumper. Im starting to regret voting for bush, the more and more i hear about his religious agenda.

I knew you would start to see thru all the B.S. and join the "enlightened" side!
