um, one thing i'm going to say... i'm working on a minor in political science with plans to go to law school to study constitutional law, and i'm 110% sure that the constitution does NOT say anywhere "separation of church and state", in fact, it just says that the government shall not ESTABLISH a religion. for example: middle eastern countries have ESTABLISHED the country's religion as islam, and basically non-muslims can gtfo. or like when the constitution was written, the king or queen of england used to establish religions, like the anglican church.

:) ok, done. i'm trying so hard to stay out of this.

no, it actually says "congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" which means it shouldn't be legislating religion one way or the other and staying completely neutral.

that's not paraphrasing, it's changing the wording to make it support your position

missed the point

I did, why don't you explain why adding more socialist crap would solve the "There's too much socialist crap in the US" problem

yeah, it just wasn't worth it to me

but I don't really have much choice now so whatever

You admit that your choice was taken away from you, and that you're being forced to buy something that isn't worth it to you, but you're in favor of it? You're brainwashed, brah. There's no two ways about it.

I am not in favor of it for my personal situation, I am saying I don't MIND it for my personal situation. I have actually found some pretty affordable plans.

I am in favor of it vs. not having it as a whole for the country

I am not only thinking of myself

i dont think he was saying its a problem

i dont think he was saying its a problem

that's why i said he missed the point. i was answering something you said, camoron about the nigger clinging to his social security but being too stupid to understand that it was socialism.

you should have him lecture for your "political science" degree, ramen

hahahahaha, a political science major fucking up some Very veRY basic ideas about religion in teh constitution?

1st of all, everything at the time of drafting the constitution was about christianity and about various sects of christianity. no one had ideas about muslims in america or some fuckers creating their own religion.
they just wanted to make sure some guy wasn't persecuted for practicing a religion, so they tried to separate it completely from government and unlike european countries decided not to tax churches.

It says the government shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion

Thomas Jefferson coined the term separation of church and state, and in 1878 the Supreme Court found that the Constitution indeed is not clear in what it means by this, and so they went to the writings of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison who were the architects of religious liberty so as to ascertain the spirit of the law. This is when the phrase "separation of church and state" took hold and it has effectively been upheld since then in matters of religious involvement in government and religious symbols, etc. on public property.
