quote: ORIGINAL: DaddySatyr I wish people would understand what the text of the first amendment is. Short of that, I wish they'd show me where, in the constitution, is the phrase: "separation of church and state" (Bonus points if they can tell me, without benefit of google, whence that phrase actually originates). God bless us, one and all. Michael I'm sure you'll get a chuckle out of some right-winger's 'understanding' of its origins.... However, as the history teacher points out: "Tea Party candidate for Delaware congress, Glen Urquhart, telling voters that the phrase "separation of church and state" came from Adolph Hitler. The teacher who contradicts Urquhart in the video is correct. Here is Thomas Jefferson's full quote - written 87 years before the birth of Adolf Hitler: Believing that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their Legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church and State. -Thomas Jefferson. Didn't use goggle! This one comes from my collection of 'Tea Party Great Moments' collection...... Also, the letter was sent to the Danbury Baptists if I remember correctly. If your looking for a date, THAT, I would have to google...

No, they just want to insult, because they think its 'OK' to do towards others. They dont have the evidence on their side often times, so they resort to insulting someone. Yes, fortunately other people in that state came to their senses and down voted the issue. But the point of the thread is: Here are Republicans wasting resources to push an ideology that the state can not defend in court. A bill pass for political points, NOT, good government. Why hire people that do not practice good government? Maybe those Tennessee Republicans need to live under a monarchy again.....

But you started a thread saying that it was? Is that not a lie then? Oh. . . and bills pass for political points all the time. Or should we cancel Thanksgiving and MLK day now? What about all the Gay Pride Days and Weeks? Those are usually a bill or government decree. Should we end those as well? Twit.

bounty44 -> RE: Tennessee state book is.... (4/17/2015 2:33:32 PM)
its understandable to see the mouth frothing over the bible being a state book when the OP believes Christianity is a religion of hate...

slvemike4u -> RE: Tennessee state book is.... (4/17/2015 2:59:58 PM)
Fuck whether or not he believes Christianity is a religion of hate(as in I don't care,it's not important to the conversation ) The fact of the matter is it is a religion.....as such it's bible should not be named a state book. It shouldn't even have been voted on....what the fuck is wrong with folks ? Here we are living in a time when religious intolerance is the biggest issue we have,the cause of countless headlines detailing horrible atrocities and some shit ass politician in Tennessee thinks naming a religious text a state book is a good idea ? WTF is wrong with you people(you being anyone who thinks this is a good idea ) We are indeed,in many ways,an exceptional nation....separation,that absolute wall that Jefferson talked of,is essential to that position. Squandering that advantage would be monumentally stupid.

Why hire people that do not practice good government? Maybe those Tennessee Republicans need to live under a monarchy again..... You understand that Lucy says it DID NOT pass. You said it did. In her rush to defend you and insult others, Lucy accidentally proved your thread TITLE...AND the three words that ended it (because I know that argument is coming soon: "but my thread TITLE was JUST The Tennessee state book is...")IS a lie. So...if your original premise is that the Tenessee state book is the Bible, you are mistaken ...or lying. Or, if Lucy's premise is that it failed by vote to become the Tennessee state book, then she is mistaken ...or lying. Given Lucy's record on the board...even though I disagree with her most of the time...I'd bet in this case, she was NEITHER mistaken or lying. You...on the other hand...were.

God bless us, one and all. Michael It isn't in the Constitution, it was in a letter that Jefferson wrote to Adams (the elder). The original concept was in a work by John Locke in England. I have not googled so cant tell you the name of his work.

Usually it's something to honor a native thing. There was a flap in Ohio over the official state sausage. Schmitt's meats "Bahama Mama" was nominated by the Ohio legislator from that District. Of course that didn't sit well with the legislator from the Toledo area, home of Tony Packo's.

Lucylastic -> RE: Tennessee state book is.... (4/18/2015 6:09:07 AM)
Im not talking for the US people here Missies, I looked up my home countries, "national symbols" the UK has the oak as its national tree, the national anthem, even a national bird and animal(wren and lion) Canada has the maple leaf, hockey(sport) beaver is the national animal, and each province has different symbols, Ontario where I live now, has a flower, bird, etc... I peeked at your profile and saw that you are from germany? Again, the national anthem, flag, tree(which is the oak) coat of arms...not as many as other places, but i didnt look deep I see it as a notably different way of showing "pride" that makes your state/country different to other regions, nations or states... just my two cents:)

I must admit, its not something I take much notice of.
