It is up to us to articulate a better and more balanced law, teach it, and peacefully strive to make that version the new constitutional law.

“Better”? For whom, for Polish Catholics like Dan Janousek describes? Thank you, I already ran from them once; their Anti-Semitic Western-Ukranian brethren were the reason I immigrated as a refugee to this country.

Nyomythus is right again. That would be a dark day indeed if de-facto separation of religious institutions (not just Christian churches0 and state was abandoned. I’ll do all I can to NOT let it happen.

…The Nazi soldiers said something or other has what, exactly, relevance to trebuchet’s point?

…that even in heart of evil there are inconsistent slivers of goodness. Ex. the USSR separations of church and state — and the example of the Nazi soldier scolding a child for the child being cruel to an animal.

Repetition of the obvious is tiring.

(I love it!) It’s a great opportunity to examine the original texts and history of the issue. Not many minds will be changed but something important may occur: The truth.

O’Donnell is right by asserting that the separation of church and state is not explicitly expressed in our constitution; however, the doctrine has become constitutional law as much as Dred Scott was constitutional law at one time. It is up to us to articulate a better and more balanced law, teach it, and peacefully strive to make that version the new constitutional law.

Then why respond at all?
It’s as if you were trying to dismiss the fact that the concept of separation, and the words, do not exist in the US constitution.
The Nazi soldiers said something or other has what, exactly, relevance to trebuchet’s point?
His point is that the concept of separation does exist, along with the words, elsewhere.
You pretend he’s saying something nice about the Sov constitution….
Oh, hell. You know the steps in the dance as well as I do. Why am I explaining how to fail at a snarky dismissal so abysmally that everybody but you sees it?
