Most people dont know anymore, what separation of church and state even means. It has been twisted out of proportions by God haters, until all meaning has been lost.
#1. separation from state means the state would not sponsor nor require any certain brand of Christianity/religion as to mandatory attendance. As England did in the middle ages, the reason the Puritans came to America in the first place.
#2. That the Church would not influence nor by threat! try to influence affairs of government, as the Catholic church did in the middle ages. And is also the way a Muslim state is run.
It has nothing to do with the right to display religious icons, or the 10 commandments, or public prayer. That was started again, by the God haters, which this country is full to the brim of. Maybe they should go to a Muslim country, they hate God also. But unfortunately require you to love Mohammed. Or they will take your head off, the Christians in this country dont require such. You are free to hate God if thats what you desire, he will take vengeance for that.
So we should be free to display as Christians, our love for the things of God. Who is that hurting ???. And has nothing to do with violating, separation of State and Church.
It looks to me like this country is no longer the home of the brave, and the land of the free. But filled with sniveling cowards, and would be enslaving bigots. Who are sitting back, and allowing something far worse than the Christianity they hate, to creep in. :thumbdown: But I guess!, you just get what you deserve in the end. :)

steve....The other thing that the current view of the separation of Church and State does is to eliminate the free discussion of religious topics, which was not the intent of the framers of the Constitution. Free discussion between Believers, Atheists, Deists, and whatever, is what made this country great.
