Separation of church and state is the big club pulled out to beat back the Christians .

It is interesting to note that during the last ten years Washington's 'Farewell Address' has begun to reappear in college textbooks - minus the four religious warnings.

The Court explained the problem with his writings (People v. Ruggles. 1811.): an attack on Jesus Christ was an attack on Christianity and an attack on Christianity was an attack on the foundation of the country therefore, an attack on Jesus Christ was equivalent to an attack on the country!

In the case Stone v. Graham, the Supreme Court ruled that - under 'separation of church and state' - it was unconstitutional for a student in school to even see a copy of the Ten Commandments.

In 1962 (Engel v. Vitale), the Supreme Court explained that the word 'church' would no longer mean a federally established denomination it would now mean a religious activity in public.

The Founders believed that pluralism survived only within the concept of religious liberty espoused by American Christianity.

When you put ungodly people in office you put ungodly principles in office. God can't bless ungodly principles therefore God can't bless you for promoting ungodly principles. If you put Godly people in office you put Godly in office God can bless Godly principles therefore he can bless you for promoting Godly principles.

Recent decades clearly demonstrate that the more secular our Public Schools become the less successful they become academically.

The Founders intended only to prevent the establishment of a single national denomination, not to restrain public religious expressions.

And you get Thomas Paine, who's the least religious Founding Father saying, you've got to teach creation science in the classroom. Scientific method demands that.

The current version of... separation of church and state says you can be salt, and you can be light, but only inside the four walls of the church.

The Founders never intended to separate Christianity from government, only to keep a single denomination from running the nation.

In 1965, in Reed v. Van Hoven, a court determined (237 F.Supp. 48. W.D.Mich. 1965.) that it was permissible for students to pray over their lunch at school so long as no one knew they were praying - that is, they couldn't say words or move their lips, but they could pray only if no one knew about it!

The Court abandoned the traditional constitutional meaning of 'religion' as a single denomination or system of worship and instead substituted a new 'modern' concept which even now remains vague and nebulous, having changed several times in recent years.

Only majorities can expand political rights in America's constitutional society.

The 1947 Court (Everson v. Board of Education) for the first time had used only Jefferson's metaphor - completely divorced from its context and intent.

That's exactly what made America so different, we don't have that colonial aspect of let's go conquer somebody else and make our nation bigger and that's because of the faith element.
