"And, no where in the constitution does it state separation of church and state."
By the same token, nowhere in the Constitution does it say they may be intertwined.
Actually, yeah. Knowing a little of contract law, if its not in the contract, there is no specific opposition to it. Our forefathers felt it necessary to carry the constitution in one hand and the Bible in the other. They felt it reckless not to require abiddance of the 10 commandments. In fact, the bible was a major contributor to the development of our constitution. Do a little research, and you will learn about the English primer, the main elementary book used in all public classrooms that included instruction of Christian values. So, if our forefathers were against teaching Christian values, indeed they would have made a specific reference against it. They didn't. They endorsed and cherised these values enough to put them on our money, in our pledge of allegiance, etc., etc. Their intention is quite obvious.
