iven the religious nuts found in all faiths, I truthfully thank God for the separation of church and state we have in America. That separation prevents slaughters such as those once conducted at Mayan temples in Mexico, in the Inquisiton in Spain, and -- more recently -- at the soccer stadium in Kabul.

Secularists have murdered over 150 million of their own citizens since 1917.

I trust people who have a transcendental morality far more than those who do not.

Guess you would have been very out of place in America until the late 1940's when Hugo Black, formerly of the Klu Klux Klan, decided the separation of church and state was in the constitution. Until then it was not. For the first 80 years or so of our Republic, church services were held in the House of Representatives. Jefferson attended a 4 hour communion at Treasury. Even the Supreme Court used their chamber for church services.

Please provide some examples of transcendental morality principles, as opposed to those that are realistically moral.
