We just would like to see the doctrine restored to Jefferson's original intent, rather than the Madalyn Murray O'Hair intent we are currently using.

I never agreed much with Mrs. O'Hair's flamboyance, but I did agree with her desire to keep religion out of public life and especially out of public schools and politics.

I didn't used to be so hard-core about it, but then a president whom I voted for said publicly that he didn't believe that I could be a real American and and Atheist at the same time.

Anyway, what I wanted to ask you was how you think that going back to Jefferson's intent would benefit the US? I know that that's kind of broad, so feel free to cut it as short as you'd like.

P.S. I'm not trying to set you up or anything, I just really would like to know what you think.

Just what do you think justifies this violation of the free exercise clause?

Like it or not, this country was built on a faith in the
Almighty God. The Constitution declares freedom OF
religion, not freedom FROM religion.

You don't like it here? Tell you where you can go.
