Now for those that understand the Enlish Language here goes: Article One of the supreme law of the land: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; It does not take a brain surgeon to understand that. Separation of church and state is not in the Constitution! Every American, including Believers in Jesus Christ, should have a copy of the Constitution and should read and study it.

    Yes, Ken. As of today, the monument is roped off and I believe Judge Moore's $5,000.00 a day fine started either yesterday or today.

    I would still like to know when all of the court houses across the US (including the Supreme Court) will have to sandblast The Ten Commandments off of their walls. :rolleyes:

    I am proud of ANYONE who stands up for his Christian convictions in the face of adversity.

    How can you separate your morality from your politics? :confused:

    A Republic is based on written law, and protects the rights of the minority, such as Believers in Jesus Christ, as well as others. That is one reason, Believers in Jesus should understand the difference between a Republic and a Democracy. Democracies lead to mob rule and anarcy. If we stand on the written law, the written law should stand regardless of the make up of the majority of people in the country. Also Believers in Jesus Christ are not the only ones in this country having their liberties infringed upon. Liberty in general is being attacked in this country as well. Other than wanting the government to be involved in the protection of the unborn, and protection of basic individual rights, Christians need to be careful about getting the government involved in other areas of restricting the liberty of others, or else a big can of worms opens that we have now. The same government that can infringe on the rights of others can then turn around and infringe on Believers in Christ. Believers in Christ need to understand that liberty of others other than Christians is being attacked as well. Get a copy of the Constitution and read and study it.

    The phrase "separation of church and state" is not in the constitution, but the idea is certainly there. How can you deny it?

    >>>>>I would rather have GOD tell me what is correct in his word.<<<<<

    But many honest and sincere people disagree on what God is thought to be saying.

    I believe it is more accurate to say that the federal constitution states the separation of the State from religion as the 1st amendment places restrictions only on the State, not religion.

    Exactly, Ken.

    The so-called wall of separation was to protect citizens from one state ordained religion, (as in the Church of England), not to kick God out of the State...as the degenerate reprobate ACLU, atheists, and Barry Lynn (former ACLU lawyer and NOT an ordained minister of the Gospel) would have us believe. :rolleyes:

    Now She Eagle you are believing that braying Donkey Jerry Falwell ... who, while the lights are on, is not always at home ... He stated on Crossfire on CNN ... Barry Lynn you are a fraud and not even an ordained minister and you have never pastored a church. Rude and obnoxious as usual and bearing false witness. REV. Lynn is most definitely an ordained minister of the Gospel. Go to Au.org and phone their office and they will email you a bio for REV. Lynn. But then this would not suit the case you would like to make in support of the demogogue Roy Moore and Roy's Rock ... false idol that is so worshipped by his followers.

    The Rev. Barry W. Lynn is the executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, a position he has held since 1992. In addition to his work as an activist and lawyer in civil liberties field, Lynn is also an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ , offering him a unique perspective on church-state issues.

    My point dear She E is that Rev. Lynn is ordained in the UCC and that the not so Rev. Falwell did not tell the truth ... that is the only point I am really making. You don't have to agree with the Rev. Lynn's positions ... but surely you can see that Falwell misrepresented the truth ...

    Someone asked: why are the protesters so angry (to keep the commandments)? One thought is that some of these protesters are ssoooo sick and tired of seeing Christianity stomped on in the media, schools, government, television and whatever else that Judge Roy has become a visible and tangible release of this anger.

    The N.T. is deafeningly silent on political activism.

    My question is why you are so concerned about trying to change the world through politics and not the gospel.

    The legal issue at hand is not one of morality. To remove the display in question is not immoral, especially given its location and purpose. This not an issue that requires separation of morality and politics.

    But, to be more general, the separation of morality and politics is determined by individual liberty. For example, using the Lord's name in vain, making graven images, and not keeping the sabbath day are all sins, but to legislate against them would be ridiculous.
