Dad of daughter shot at Columbine High was asked to address Congress the other day. Here is what he said.
I agree with this guy. Seperation of church and state was never intended to remove GOD from government and nation. It was meant to stop government from telling citizens that there was a single, specific national church, that was in control of the government and vice versa, that citizens were required to belong to - a church OF state such as the Church of England. It was the MAIN reason our founding fathers fled from the UK in the first place and decided to hew out a new republic. Constitution was never intended as a means of wholesale deletion of GOD from our public forums and institutions. The role of a judge, ANY judge, is to interpret the SPIRIT of the law, not the narrowest definition of its written content, and by that I mean the spirit in which it was drafted. Modern judges stopped doing this long ago. The spirit in which a law is written, the thinking of the authors, is far less important to them than their egos and flair for incredibly stupid judgements such as removing all crosses from federal properties (like that's really going to happen at Arlington Cemetary, HAHA!!!) because they are religious symbols. OR how about removing hte 10 commandments from a county courthouse building? I mean, get real. Any idiot with a peanut for a brain can figure out what they meant when they wrote the laws of seperation of church and state.
