What is this first amendment you speak of? Language and law are now merely tools in the hands of the oppressor. The courts are corrupted and can craft language to legitimize any offense committed by the dictatorship of the US government.
I agree with you on that. The court cases last week proved that any time 5 judges (I refuse to call them justices, anymore), want to ignore the words of the Constitution that they can do so with total impunity. A 'feelings' group can form. I imagine a 'seance' group can form and 'divine' the truth from Ouija boards. They've proven that our country runs on their opinion and not on any document like the US Constitution.
Aside from that, the old document that our country used to run on had an amendment that protected the religious free exercise of the people. If it were read seriously and applied seriously, there would be no way that the government would even begin to consider taking money out of the offering plate that is directed toward God.
