I don't "act" like anything.
It isn't in the Contitution and that is 100% true. You should try reading it.
More revisionist history. My God this exactly why liberals should stay the hell away from history books.
The first ammendment was written specifically from establishing a religion. In the times, the people OVERWHELMINGLY CHRISTIAN were scared of a state choosing a sect of Christianity to be dictated by the state, something they ran from in Europe. NEVER did they say religion had no place in government. This is the gross lie liberals love to spout and why we are so thankful you are not in charge to bastardize history.
This was a fear, but it doesn't limit the amendment to just that. Any religion should not have an impact on any law made. Religion can't be taught in public school because it could conflict with someone being able to practice their religion which may be different to the one being taught in school, which is in violation of the amendment.
Also separation between Church and State has been held up by the Supreme Court numerous times and IS the policy of this country,
We are a republic based on a Constitution. NOT a democracy.
This is what I said?
We have a Representative Republic, we vote for people to represent us in government proceedings, and act on our behalf. Did you even read my post, or did you just look at the "very liberal" on my profile, and immediately disagree?
You just lost the argument my friend.
Oh right. They just said it as happenstance. Face it, they came from a religious society that incorportated religion into daily life.
Another lie by the liberal left without a shred of evidence to support this theory.
That was a very common way of writing down the date during that time. Its just how they did things.
You want more evidence of God referred to by the founding fathers? No problem!
The lies many liberals tell on this issue are truly amazing. They deny the spiritual language of the time by the founding fathers including their own words. They even deny the faith of the founding fathers and then they bastardize the 1st amendment while ignoring the history of religion in Europe and the foundation of a nation to not have a specific christian faith dictated by the government.
That is the real history and Texas has stopped you from rewriting and lying about it to our children.
I don't care what the personal beliefs of the founding fathers were. It doesn't matter to me, or this country for that matter. What matters is what they wrote down in the Constitution, which is this country's supreme law. In the Constitution it states that there is to be a separation between church, and state, and that this country shall have no official religion. It's all stated out in the first amendment. This country's government will always be secular,and thats the way the founders wanted it. This country was first settled by people who wanted to be free from religious persecution. Do you not think the founders knew this? They didn't want this country to become what they left, they wanted this country to be a place where anybody could practice any religion they wanted. By making the government secular they ensured that this happens. The majority of this country may be Christian(including myself), but that doesn't make Jews, Muslims, Hindus,or people of any other religious beliefs right to practice their religion in this country without persecution any less important.
Please, don't tell me I don't know anything about history, I'm a history major, and plan on being an educator. I don't claim to know it all, but don't say I'm ignoring history. This country was never meant to be a Christian nation, and the first amendment says it all.
