Try and understand this concept. Once you allow one religion to become involved in the affairs of government, you have violated the 1st amendment. Why? Because Government would then be sponsoring a particular religion.

Why is that so difficult to understand?????

Where do you see that in the US Constitution?

The USA is a Christian, God fearing nation, or at least it was. And it is my prayer and I will do all in my power to see that it is once again. And if that means disagreeing with you, well so be it for the Apsotle Paul has made it abundantly clear that I and those that oppose Christ and His teachings have nothing in common anyhow.(2 Corinthians 6:14)

Once you allow one religion to become involved in the affairs of government, you have violated the 1st amendment.

And vicey versa? What if the government becomes involved in the affairs of the church? Is that a violation of the 1st amendment? Or does freedom only run the way you want it to?

What's so difficult to understand is that under your system no one that had a religion could hold government position because that would bring religion into government. Or you would curtail there ability to talk because they were religious. How crazy is that? We have always been a religious country. They even wanted Hebrew to be the national language at one time. They even have Chaplains in the armed services and in Congress. What planet are you from?
