I give you this opening to demonstrat that religious freedom (not the freedom from religion)) was the driving force behind the Revolution. There were many reasons listed in the DOI.
not the freedom from religion
Are you implying that majorities through government should be able to impose religion upon unwilling minorities?
Would you penalize those who had the 'wrong' beliefs?
Would you force citizens to pay tithes or attend church against their will?

The Constitution currently in use by the State of Alabama is the 1901 constitution. While you're updating your information, check out Article 3.

Koran? I don't think the Founding Fathers had the Koran in mind when they established the Republic.
Scheming...? No. I'll be upfront and work above board.
How about this... don't call them the 10 Commandments... call them the "10 Directives that, if Followed, Will Lead to a More Fulfilling, Rewarding Life for All?"
The majority lost the battle, but WILL win the war.

Koran? I don't think the Founding Fathers had the Koran in mind when they established the Republic.No, they had the first amendment in mind. No state religion.
You change the rules now for your favorite religion and tomorrow the rag heads might get theirs. That will be the day the Koran goes up in the courthouse.

The ten commandments don't need your help or the help of government. The day we need some government employee telling us what religion to follow is the day religion will become irrelevant. That might very well be the first day of the Revelation events.

A scheme is the 4-3 or the 3-4.
Which one is better? Who cares... it is almost upon us.

'I was "infoing" you only on that post - it was directed to freee and his agnostic crew'
Must have been directed at me by mistake, as well.
