The fact is that Madison was a diest as was Franklin and other founding fathers. Keep in mind that people came here from England to escape religious persecution by the C of E. They did not come here to escape religion. They came here partly for religious freedom.You can interpret the writings anyway you want to support your point of view. My ONLY point was that the constitution does not mandate a seperation of church and state but only prohibits the establishment and support for a state religion. All of the bullshit aside, I see nothing wrong with a menorah or a nativity scene or a festivus pole being displayed in front of my local town hall. In fact, I grew up appreciating other religions because of public displays and the curiosity that they inspired. Where do you propose that children learn about them in this time of secular liberalism? Do you propose that Jewish families hold Muslim celebrations in their home? Shall Christians light Menorahs in their homes. If children do not learn it in school, where do they learn it? As usual, you've fogged the issue with 200 year-old snippets of quotes that have little relevence to today's issues. Deal with today! |
