SKILMATIC said:What?!!! When did I say that? Do you even know how to disect a sentence? The constitution as it is written states that there should be no law passed that would incorporate the establishment of religion meaning its properties and denominations. No where does that imply to God or spirits or man for that point.
Yes, I can disect a sentence, but that is of little consequence concerning the First, as it's meaning is clear enough. I agree with what you are saying here, but not with what was previously stated.
"I understand but it is just giving respect to the establishment of a religion meaning the place of worship. You do know what an establishment is right? Its a place. Well a place(establishment) of a religion is the place in which they gather and worship. So its in respect to those places(establishments) of worship. Again its just referring to religions not anything else."
An establishment is not always a place, nor did the use of the word in the First, mean a place, which is what I pointed out.
In regard to the word "respecting," whether it connotes honoring, concerning, or regarding, the clause means that Congress shall make no law on that subject, which is also what I pointed out.
