Brahman?

Let me point out your severely flawed argument -maybe you just do not realize your position is untenable AND more socialistic or communistic than AMERICAN?

To ask the question "which one" objectively showcases a flawed premise that there is "one" e.g. that there must be a state religion OTHERWISE there can be no religion...

Wow -here is a shocker --what about IF people locally determine what is what e.g. the school board? Guess what there can be MANY and people can move to where they want and follow whatever they want -- WOW this seem so AMERICAN!

Are you suggesting that people who don't follow a single specific deity be driven from the country, or at least be given no say whatsoever in the government?

No -you are -- it is called a straw man...

I wasn't making a suggestion toward a position, I was pointing out the problem inherent in inserting a specific theology into government.

Actually, I was referring to deities in general when I asked "which one", since you were the one talking about God. I wasn't referring to state religions.

Wow -here is a shocker --what about IF people locally determine what is what e.g. the school board?

So you would have no problem with a an Islamic-controlled school board setting Islamic-based policies so long as they were voted in by the community? What if their policies included teaching the inferiority of the Jew?

No -you are -- it is called a straw man...

I was asking a question. What of the people who don't worship the deity of the majority?
