Re: Bunch of crap
Ok, so we are talking about God here, right? Wrong?
it says creator in the deceloration but not the constitution, and its not talking about the christian god, but the concept of a creator
But the consititution does mention the creator. How did it jump from God, to Christianity. well because if it asked you if God was mentioned in the declaration of independence, then you would have to answer YES!
where does it mention the creator?, when the writers talk about creator they could be talking about the native american, muslim or any religion, it never names the creator, in fact it doesn't say god
So my question to is that a quiz to determine your knowledge of what the term separation of church and state means, or to see just who hates Christianity?
as always if its not in favor of christianity its aganst it, have you no concept of neutral things?

Re: Bunch of crap
Why did they jump from God, to Christianity?
they where quizing people on the fact that most people when they think of "creator" they think of the christian god, its been drilled into thier head for years that it means jesus
Separation of church and state does not mean we are an atheist nation, plain and simple.
who says we are? you are dictating we are if we do not include christianity in everything
Show me were in any of the constitution, or Decrlaration of Independence that we cannot use bilical principals, or anyother form of morals to make up who and what we are.
so who's god is the right god? whos belief is true, whos views are right? we have to decide this for any christian beliefs to overwrite anyone elses
Show me were it says we are to use only atheistic moral, or morals governed by science to determine or laws?
we don't use "atheistic" moral we use reason and logic and compassion for mankind to decide our laws
I should start a new nation, and the first ammendment will read, a separation of science and state. Especially since nothing in science is proven.
this is just plain unessesary i won't even answer it

Re: Secular v Religious v Xian
it seems the rationialists were lumped togather with the anabaptists really it seems that any group that feels the burn of leaders who control religion wants to seperate it from goverment. more than likely the fathers felt it through the CoE's control over the crown and seeing a religious shift every new king or queen
While i would agree that you should atribute it to the right people, i don't really think you can, many groups believed it
as for the puritans they controled england for about a century or two then got kicked out after doing crazy things
