re: #94 Ziggy

I hesitate to say this, because I don’t believe in rewriting history or teaching creationism in school, but there is no separation of church and state. Regarding religion, article one states “Congress shall make no law respecting and establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” I’m not trying to distract from the issue, just trying to not rewrite our constitution either.

This is completely false. The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment has been tested in the Supreme Court many times, and it definitely DOES mandate the separation of church and state.
