"Of course, I had to descend into the absurd, contradictory abyss of Bizarro World..."

Yes, you certainly did.

I'm only saying there is a clear separation between government and religion, as it should be, and it's not only in the Constitution, but the 1st amendment of the Bill of Rights. It also allows people to gather for any reason or religion.

And I'd like to point out my lack of bias, as I am not religious, nor am I a Mason. I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night though!

All who agree with the ACLU's position on this must descend the same absurd abyss.

"Separation of church and state," as currently defined by the ACLU, People For the American Way, Americans United, et al, is nowhere in the Constitution and is certainly not to be found in the 1st Amendment. The founders were merely making sure that no "Church of the United States" could be formed along the lines of the Church of England.

I prefer to understand the text as it is actually written, rather than how it has been twisted and tortured to conform to the mores of the day.
