I just find it strange that the Dems are all about the muzzies.
They only hate the religious right when they are white
The left loves Louis Farrakhan who hates Jews and calls for the extermination of the white race and that racist Obingo white hater Wright. The tax cheat Al NotsoSharpton. Who's that other noisy retard? Oh yeah Rev. Jesse Jackson! Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife are out of prison now.
Just a bunch of race hustlers lining their pockets.

The US is a secular government and purposely set up to prohibit the establishment of a state-sponsored religion. And with good reason - given the absooute power is the King and the Church of England and the Pope/Catholicism. The Founders were wise to acknowledge there was more than one prism with which to view the Almighty or not.
But most assuredly, the US is a Judeo-Christian country - a factious one but definitely heavily influenced by a wide swath of denominations. Try getting a Baptist and a Mormon to agree on much of anything. Not gonna happen
From Quakers to Puritans to Presbyterians to Amish to Catholic to Baptists, that shit is all over the board with theology - but are generally grounded in the same roots. Slavery, womens rights, workers rights, civil rights - all grounded in religious activism.
To deny otherwise is fucking stupid. And because of that freedom from a government sponsored church, other religions like Islam and Sikhs and Buddhist or whoevever the fuck wants can practice their religion freely in the US as well - as along as they don't behead or bomb or do stupid shit. Then they need to roast. (Hi, Tim McVeigh but but but motherfuckers).
Kudos to you atheist dicks for trying to revise history -but the Constitution is very clear with regards to government intervention into the citizens' right to practice whatever the fuck they want in terms of spirituality and religion. 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.
Please to be pointing out where it says "seperation of church and state" in the constitution?
We are and have been a Christian nation. Therefore, .... um .....
So, I'm not sure where to go from here, but it sounded good when bobsled said it.

Bob needs to speak for himself. It's bolded and in italics as to what the Constitution says.
If you want to debate semantics on 'separation of church and state', well...OK! It's there in black and white - the Gubmint can't start it's own religion. The gubmint can't stop anyone from practicing their own religion.
Usually, I understand your point. Today, I don't.
I know what it says, and further, I know how that's been applied. So much of the Constitution doesn't get you there on the face of its language. What does it mean for the "government to start its own religion"? How do you regulate that particular mandate other than to keep yourself out of the religion business other than to assure everyone their right to practice as they see fit.
Two points -
It makes me laugh my ass off when people contend the US isn't a "Christian nation". Of course it is. Always has been. Like Italy has always been a Catholic nation. Not the ass-hate Westboro Baptist dipshit chrisitans-however they are still free to practice their bad theology however they fuck they want - but this country is overwhelmingly Judeo-Christian in its legal structure, laws and general acceptable behavior. Numbers are about 75% identifying as Christians in the US - down from 80%+ in the 50's and 60's but that's still a healthy majority. Guess is about half the decline are the influx of Muslims and "Others". The remaining half are just fucked up atheist heathens (faggy winky emoticon). You own 75% of the voters, you're probably going to get legislation that reflects close to that. It's like bitch ass Cuogs whining about coverage in the Seattle Times - of course the coverage is only going to be 25% or less Cuog. Christ.
Second - it also amuses me when faggy winky emoticon heathen atheists get all bent over religious institutions exercising their right to practice their religion in the policitcal realm. There's absolutely nothing in the Constitution that prohibits a religious person from participating in the legislative process. To some that exercise of religion might mean marching in Selma. To some that might be rallying at an anti-abortion gathering. But somehow because they are affiliated with a religious group, that disallows their viewpoint on social behavior or laws to be somewhat less valid. Fuck that. As long as they are lawful in their conduct, who gives a shit what they rally for?
Absolutely. I have no issue with that view at all.
Ironically, this sub-thread is in response to bobsled's post that we've always been a christian nation and where does it say separation of church and state? And that was in response to my post that a public institution shouldn't hire clergy.
Faggy winky comment was hurtful btw. I like you better when you're talking about porn.
The faggy winky emoticon was directed at those atheists buggered by priests in their youth.
Don't be hurt. They'll still take your money at the parish.
I still like you better when you're talking about porn and poasting pictures.

I don’t give a flying fuck if we ban all clergy from the execution. But when you can have only a Christian clergyman present, that’s a pretty basic First Amendment problem.
