Does a printing press believe everything that passes through its feed?

Even better, has Congress never since done something counter to the spirit (heck, and the letter) of the Constitution?

The first Congress didn't do that with that early act paying for Bibles.

The 1st Amendment forbids an establishment of religion, but anti-Christians today have turned that prohibition on its ear byt making it say instead that Congress can't acknowledge religion, and that individuals can't display any religious activity in the public square.

Gosh, that is great! Where do you live? I didn't think it went on anywhere anymore for obvious reasons.

There was a time in the country when belief in the biblical God was the norm and not believing in Him was strange.


Ignorance of the Bible by believers has brought this upon us as a nation. However, it is not too late to turn back.

I have heard of it in more locations than I realized. My brother in high school does have to take a few extra classes to make up the credit, but will graduate on time.

He enjoyes a close place where he can eat lunch too and associate with friends.

So now the law can protect the Bible because it's seen as an historical/cultural document?

I'm reminded of the end scene in 101 Dalmatians where an old dog, leader of his motley pack, states (paraphrasing), "It's not over until I say it's over...okay, it's over."

I think secular law has run it's course, shot it's bolt, overstayed it's welcome, and totally obliterated it's own legitimacy for any real authority. We'll have a major network airing a comedy show of the sham and shamelessness of secular judges, lawyers, and public servants within the year and it will be mildly successful (the same way SNL had a running success of spoofing ex-Pres. Clinton's moral character). It won't have to be creative. The show can base all of it's episodes from true life examples similar to "Law and Order's" episodes. Maybe the title of the hit series will be, "Until Jesus Returns, You'll have to put up with Us."
