re: #143 Charles

I see. So we’re splitting hairs over the original articles? Sheesh.

We’re splitting hairs because Sharmuta was using it as a propaganda club to prove that the First Amendment, as first in pole position, gives it pride of place in our Bill of Rights. This stuff matters, Charles. (And Sharmuta.)

The First Amendment’s position is in actuality a historical accident.

I’d say the Constitution itself - particularly its comments on how there should be no religious tests of office - had somewhat made the First Amendment redundant anyway.
