"This is not about the Free Exercise clause. It is about the Establishment Clause. Why not just read the opinion?"

Uh huh. And abortion is about "privacy". And slavery was about Blacks only being 2/3 human. How convenient. Supreme Court decisions, and Appeals Court decisions, are not always reflective of reality, they can say whatever they please, isolate a clause they chose to focus on, and exclude other pertinent clauses they don't want to look at. Two hundred years of American history clearly reveal that the Ten Commandments and other religious declarations, such as prayer, have been posted, etched, engraved, read, spoken and declared in government buildings in every State in the Union. The new-age Court decisions are about the stripping away of previous norms. In this way they will eventually force their own beliefs on all Americans by banning the public expression of our beliefs. We do, after all, live and express our lives out in the public every day. And have you noticed that the more religion is banned the deeper its antithesis, such as pornography, homosexuality, and drug abuse enters in to replace it? This is a spiritual warfare going on here. All these disgusting laws that abolish God from the public accomplish is to foster the opinion that God, and those who love Him, are somehow evil, and must not be seen in public lest they cause harm to some non-believer. It's all B.S.

True - and I wonder how people who think that such is unconstitutional can exmplain this away.

The new-age Court decisions are about the stripping away of previous norms. In this way they will eventually force their own beliefs on all Americans by banning the public expression of our beliefs. We do, after all, live and express our lives out in the public every day.

It is at the point where if there is public expression of religion (and I don't just mean Christianity) it is frowned upon (when not illegal) and religious people are portrayed in media and entertainment as either evil or stupid.

And have you noticed that the more religion is banned the deeper its antithesis, such as pornography, homosexuality, and drug abuse enters in to replace it? This is a spiritual warfare going on here.

I have mentioned several times lately that there are two religions of the world. Worship of the transcendent reality that is God, and worship (in lust or greed) of His creation, in imitation of Him

All these disgusting laws that abolish God from the public accomplish is to foster the opinion that God, and those who love Him, are somehow evil, and must not be seen in public lest they cause harm to some non-believer.

It is a war. And it is time - as someone mentioned on a thread called "Truce" - to put aside theological differences and sectarian concerns, to fight for the cause of God, and against the force of atheism.
