Would you prefer that the Supreme Court (and the appellate courts) be prohibited from ruling on this aspect of the 1st amendment and leave that to Christian ministers?

I think it would make a lot of people on this thread happy if we just repeal the 1st Amendment.

Either that, or we could amend it to read

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, except for the one (insert name of poster) personally prefers, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

I say that most of the justices on today's SCOTUS aren't fit to be judges. They rule based on fiat like the POLITBURO. They are turning America into an oligarchy - or worse. They make a rulings that conform to their ideology (don't try to say they don't) and not the intent of the framers. If the Constitution is a living breathing document subject to change according to social and ideological norms, as I believe at least 5 of the 9 justices believe, then so your God-given rights are also subject to change by the POLITBURO. One cannot logically maintain that constitutional law is governed by changing social/cultural norms and simultaneously hold to any unchanging absolute moral principles.
