quote: It is from this letter that people get the phrase "seperation of church and state". This is Jefferson, explaining what was in his mind, when he wrote the first amendment. It may be what was in his mind but it was not what he wrote. Didn't Madison write the Bill of Rights (about which he was not enthusiastic), drawing on Jefferson's work for religious liberty in Virginia? I think Jefferson was posted in Paris as the Constitution took shape.

quote: It does not however, require the U.S. Government to ignore it's roots as being established by believers of a Creator, in Christian terms, "God". The U.S. was established by men and women of God. Thus, you have God figuring prominently the Declaration of Independence Two historical notes: (a) Far less God-talk appears in Jefferson's draft of the Declaration. (b) In 1797, the Senate unanimousy ratified the Treaty of Tripoli. President John Adams, a man not unfamiliar with the nation's founding principles, signed the treaty. Article 11 states, "As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."

Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peacefully to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievences. In your heart (not necessarily in the head), which do you REALLY believe? We hear from many Americans, for example, that Islam is "evil" and that all Muslims should be locked up and deported to some Islamic country, even if those Muslims. Were born American citizens. We hear from other Americans that all of America's problems would be solved if we were to re-introduce Protestant Christian prayers into the public school system. Do you believe in freedom of religion if the religion isn't some version of Christian? Do you believe that freedom of religion includes the freedom not to believe in any religion at all? I believe in the Constitution...and it covers freedom of religion (which is also by default, freedom to not believe in a hereafter or God)....regardless of same, evocation, or source. End of story.

quote: It seems to me some of you make up the constitution depending on what you think and not on what it actually says. That's how the looney Right arrives at all its 'facts'. They determine their facts from whatever their pre-existing opinions dictate. This is simply par for the course.

He is of course ignoring the actual founding document of our country and talking about the Declaration of Independence.

It is interesting how many Americans seem to think that the Declaration of Independence is somehow a "law" when it actually was a written justification for having a revolution. Probably they were home-schooled.

I actually am the Creator....so...enough of all your shit.

quote: ORIGINAL: GotSteel He is of course ignoring the actual founding document of our country and talking about the Declaration of Independence. Greetings, Let's see, the Declaration of Independence IS the founding document. It came before the Consitution and declares America a seperate country or "founded". It uses the word "Creator". Therefore the founding document signed by the founding fathers uses the word "Creator". The Constitution, of which you said in error was the founding document, is instead the law of the already founded country. Well wishes, Arturas

Why yes, I believe it was, the one that has a creator. So, the creator sponsored this country. Logic and truth will reign supreme in the end. Go well into the night, Arturas

Would you care to show anywhere that says "a religion sponsored America" ? Are you really suggesting the Declaration of Independence takes precedent over the constitution ? If so that would make the constitution, in your eyes, invalid. Which makes me wonder why you quote it everytime it suits you. I am surprised some of you keep bleating on about truth and yet are still unable to show it.
