[Vision2020] Separation Of Church & State

[Kai Eiselein]

I did not ask about the financial aspect of the rental, nor did I ask about
any communion issues.
I made an observation about the "separation of church and state" issue.
Which seems to rear its ugly head time and time again.
The Constitution does not bar a religious group from having services on
public property. Those who use that "s.o.c.a.s" phrase as their argument
need to read the document.
Picture the results if that view prevails: No more weddings led by a clergy
member on any public property, no religious funerals at public cemetaries,
no Easter Egg hunts in the parks or at the White House,no St. Patrick's Day
parades,  no half-mad evangelicals shouting from street corners, no Krishnas
dancing and shaking their tamborines down the streets of Santa Monica and no
Mardi Gras in New Orleans. The list would go on and on.
Suddenly the vivid tapestry of life will be reduced to a torn, dingy grey
rag. And our society will be much poorer for the loss.
