Wow, I must have this uncanny ability TO READ WORDS THAT FORM A SENTENCE AND THEN GET THE MEANING FROM THOSE WORDS, because I don't see "seperation of church and state" ANYWHERE in that phrase!

Now, I know sspadowski isn't... smart, but let me break it down for you:

Congress can not establish a state religion. Congress can not tell a private person, company or anything that is SEPERATE from the state how they can worship.

Now, does that mean the Ten commandment cannot sit at a courthouse? No, it doesn't. That is not establishing a religion, because the Ten Commandments sitting there is not the govt saying "We respect the Judeo-Christian religious beliefs to be the ones that you should follow". It is a historical document from which Western Civilization has been based upon.

God Bless America sung in a school concernt is not respecting an establishment of religion. It is a group singing a song. Is the govt saying that everyone should respect the establishment of Judeo-Christanity with the song? Nope, it's not.

The only people that seem to not grasp this concept are the "free-thinkers" of our society who's twats get flared up everytime someone mentions God without mocking or insulting the concept of a Divine Being.
