Which Jehovah?
If Jehovah be true, things will not go as well with the Air Force Academy and the USAF for accommodating Wicca and other pagan activities on campus.
Which Jehovah? The one who creates things and when humans, act human destroys what he creates, or the one his alleged son taught about? You sound like a member of the KKK or a fascist.

Christian Religion What's that.?
The idea that the first amendment was ever meant to give space to anything OTHER than the Christian religion in this nation is something you and I are going to disagree on.
It is obvious that you do not know what a Christian is. There are hundreds of Christian Religions. Most of which are not what those individuals who framed the US constitution believed. Many were Deists or even possibly Atheists, why would they make the establishment clause for Christians only?

Re: Such as?
The Christian version certainly doesn't require HONORING other religions, merely respecting the conscience of individual human beings.
So then why don't they do this. From what I have seen, the Christians don't follow this just condemn the others.

Re: Such as?
Don't confuse evangelism with the law guaranteeing religious freedom. You have every right to your beliefs but we may also tell you why your beliefs are wrong.
That would be fine if that was as far as it went. If I say I disagree then drop it don't push the issue. My beliefs aren't wrong, if they were I wouldn't have them. Just because you feel that your beliefs aren't wrong doesn't make it so. You think your beliefs are correct, I think mine are correct so drop the issue, but most of those trying to "evangelize" won't drop the issue when I say I don't agree.

Re: Freedom of religion
Theocracy is impossible in a fallen world unless you're ancient Israel and America isn't
Well it appears that people like Palin, Huckabee, Dobson, Beck and Limbaugh would welcome a theocracy so thay could force their rightwing fascist christian values on the rest of us.

Re: Freedom of religion
Beck is a Mormon, and I'm not even convinced Limbaugh is a Christian, but as far as any of them wanting a theocracy that's just being read into their upholding Christian principles as the best standards for the country. You argue for your own standards don't you? Why shouldn't they be allowed to?
Mormons are Christians. There are hundreds of Christian Denominations. Limbaugh is either a Christian or a Christian Facsimile. To them it is their way or no way.

Re: separation of church and state etc.
Changing it has to be a formal process that allows a voice to all interested parties.
Fine except you don't ascribe to this as you stated in message 16:
The idea that the first amendment was ever meant to give space to anything OTHER than the Christian religion in this nation is something you and I are going to disagree on.
Evidentl, to you, all interested parties must be Christian which is downright stupid.

Re: separation of church and state etc.
In this I find the founders at fault myself, that they didn't realize that the first amendment could be used as a weapon against what they assumed was the natural place of religion in public life.
Where has this been done? example please.
