There is this nice thing called Separation of church and state.... so keep your damn bible out of my Constitution.... Before you can jump at me and tell me that our country was founded on Christianity..... Note the following from the FOUNDERS of our country.... Matter of a fact, most of them were Deists... Look it up! :) “[T]he government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion….” - John Adams in the Treaty of Tripoli “Christianity neither is, nor ever was, a part of the Common Law.” – Thomas Jefferson letter to Dr. Thomas Cooper, 1814 “History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance, of which their political as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purpose.” – Thomas Jefferson to Baron von Humboldt, 1813 The Citizens of the United States of America have a right to applaud themselves for giving to Mankind examples of an enlarged and liberal policy: a policy worthy of imitation. All possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship. It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights. For happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection, should demean themselves as good citizens.” -- George Washington 1790, Letter to Touro Synagaogue. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion -- The US Constitution. With that being said... I have reached my melting point with those who feel its OKAY to use religion to suit their own agendas, and bringing something I hold sacred in to try and back themselves up.... it has no merit... Maybe you should have stayed awake during your American Government class!
