Just to muddy the waters, a Ten Commandment Case came down today in the 6th Circuit and the ACLU has been taken to task quite nicely. :-}

"Writing for the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, Judge Richard Suhrheinrich said the ACLU's "repeated reference 'to the separation of church and state' ... has grown tiresome. The First Amendment does not demand a wall of separation between church and state."

" Suhrheinrich wrote: "The ACLU, an organization whose mission is 'to ensure that ... the government [is kept] out of the religion business,' does not embody the reasonable person."

" The court said a reasonable observer of Mercer County's display appreciates "the role religion has played in our governmental institutions, and finds it historically appropriate and traditionally acceptable for a state to include religious influences, even in the form of sacred texts, in honoring American traditions."

Good. The ACLU needs to stay out of the religion nanny business.

Now if religious people would just learn to stay out of the science business all would be well with the world.
