I don’t understand the Baptist bashing here. What did we do?

****

It is not about Baptist so much as it is about a Separation of church and state thing...

Someone asked about why the FBI did not use government Buses instead of church Buses!

Now the buses have violated "Separation of church and state thing" - which isn't in the Constitution anyway but are words written U.S. President Thomas Jefferson in a January 1, 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptist Association - but that is for another conversation.

Gosh, these buses have really gotten you?

They are buses, for crying out loud.

"Ahh, but the buses that's... that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic...

Rest the separation of church and state thing was meant to protect us, allowing us to worship. Some misguided people have flipped it to keep God out which was not what our forefathers intended.

As far as the bus, I can understand Mormons might feel uncomfortable. The solution was to offer their own services though.

The state believed kids were in danger. When your house is on fire are you going to expect the city to send firemen of your own color, gender or faith ? Of course not. After this is all over, if kids were being abused I believe the LDS should thank all who helped, including those dreaded Baptists:')
