There many different interpretations of what the founding fathers would want. You just happen to site one of many. That still is irrelevant. Religion is used as a mechanism of control and manipulation by the ruling class. [/quote]
Yes, the original intent of the founders is now irrelevant . . . what?
Don’t really care to put my religion in your “face.” As an American, you can take it or leave it. However, like many current Supreme Court Justices, I believe there should be a reasonble accomdation for the expressions of faith connected with government which was the historical arrangement brought to us by the founders.
More important, the teaching of values should not be dismissed because they have a Biblical center. This type of relativistic reaction is what has destryoed American inner cities and the rot is spreading.
Mostly, just pointing out the consequences of an increasingly secular society.
If history shows us anything, when modern nations remove Judeo-Christian values and dismiss religion, they become killing machines.
Alternatively, as in Europe, they may become so weak, secular, concerned with self(that’s all there is really if there is no God) and unable to reproduce that they will be over run by radical elements in the Mideast through revolution and population. [/quote]
