That's why we seperate church and state. Ah, the mythical 'separation of Church and State'. And you find that where in the Constitution?
In fact, my copy simply forbids the government from setting up a state religion. Unfortunately, that is exactly what the liberals have done.
The only thing the libs want totally outside of government is Christianity.

Again with the twisting words. If you'll check my earlier posts you'll see that I explicitly discussed how the founding fathers only applied that rule to the fed not to state or local government, and I even mentioned how that phrase has been twisted in recent decades. Thus demonstrating that when I say "state" I mean it in the same way the founding fathers did. But either way you can't kill people just because your religion tells you to, not in America pal. And there are certain passages in The Bible that are exactly WHY the founding fathers didn't want a federal church to be defined, and subsequently because you profess to believe in both The Bible and the Constitution you know exactly what should happen in your hypothetical, regardless of the religion in question.
