So you feel that keeping the majority religion out of public schools is granting MORE protection to those not of the majority religion than is granted to those OF the majority religion? I don't see it. The Amendment is absolute and not on a sliding scale of majority religious belief and divergence from that belief.

How does your view of some getting MORE Constitutional protection square with the Constitutional principle of equal protection under the law? What remedy to you propose?

I’m not proposing a remedy. I’m just letting Dagny know that he should think before proposing the abolition of the First Amendment.

What’s your interest in this? Do you agree with Dagny?

I think we left the constitution behind a while back. I’m just amused at all the mental masturbation going on over the possibility of creating a theocracy.

I’m actually eager to see some state like Kansas or Louisiana try. Every time these cases get to court the rulings favor science. And if the states are stupid enough to appeal, the rulings will be national in scope.

It is not absolute, and it has indeed been turned into a sliding scale, as its meaning has been changed since the founding.
