No, Glenns, this just means that your 'interpretation' is different from that which is applicable.<br><br>Sunil<br><br>> Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2008 11:50:49 -0800<br>> From: vpschwaller@gmail.com<br>> To: vision2020@moscow.com<br>> Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Intoleristas<br>> <br>> Tem Moffett refers to "a basic US Constitutional principle, the<br>> separation of church and state." Hmmm . . . I wasn't aware this was<br>> a basic US Constitutional principle. This idea is nothing more than<br>> complete metaphorical misrepresentation of the basic premise of the<br>> establishment clause, "Congress shall make no law respecting an<br>> establishment of religion. . ."<br>> <br>> This has become a major distortion thanks to the "interpretation" of<br>> laws (and in many instance the out and out making of laws) by the<br>> liberal side of the Supreme Court. The establishment clause was<br>> designed to prevent the establishment of a "state religion", not<br>> Christian Theism. As a result of the Supreme Court's work, we are<br>> witnessing the gradual obliteration of Christian Theism and the<br>> establishment of laws promoting humanism as a "state religion".<br>> <br>> Is this not exactly what the establishment clause in our constitution<br>> was intended to prevent? The Constitution is now allowing the<br>> government to force "nonconformists" to accept and live by "humanism".<br>> A definite turnabout of the true nature of our First Amendment<br>> rights.<br>> <br>> GS<br>> <br>> On Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 7:18 PM, Scott Dredge <scooterd408@hotmail.com> wrote:<br>> >> Paul wrote:<br>> >> I thought Doug and Dale had<br>> >> libertarian tendencies.
