You, like most of those who mindlessly attack Keyes and Moore, don't bother to debate honestly or to focus on the true principles that are at issue.

Here is my honest debate, which you have not bothered to refute.

Your arguments are pretty much self refuting, when you write stuff like this:

'An establishment of religion' is any teaching, precept, dogma, or object relating to any specific religion.

That's certainly not how the founding generation interpreted those words. The proof is in the facts of the history of the last 200+ years of public life in America.

You are still interpreting the First Amendment just like the liberals, and thereby turning that history on its ear.

You have yet to give me a reason why it was okay for the Ten Commandments to hang in all of our courthouses, capitols and schools for two centuries, but is somehow now 'unconstitional'.

Good luck.

An establishment of religion, as written in the BOR, means simply the establishment of a national state church.

And any sixth grader can understand that the binding nature of that prohibition is on the Congress. After all, who else would have the power to establish a state church?

Maybe the judicial tyrants, eh? They seem to be doing a pretty good job establishing secular humanism as the national religion.
