What ever happened to the seperation of church and ...

There is still a separation of church and state in the U.S. The secular and irreligious aspects of American life are increasing much to the dismay of most Americans (homosexuals, lesbians, abortions, attempts to make changes to the pledge of allegiance, etc.). This has led to greater effort for injecting more religion in public life which many object to and who are usually supported by the federal courts.

I agree with you completely. This is something very disturbing in our society today. I hope people will wake up and go against such movements towards dangerous social behavior.

First of all I'm a Christian.

I wonder why we can't pray in schools but yet the Senate has a Chaplain. 

There never was any such thing as "separation of church and state". I defy you or anyone to show it to me in the Constitution.

"Thomas Jefferson wrote that the First amendment created a wall of separation between the church and the state. James Madison said it "drew a line," but it is Jefferson's term that sticks with us today. The phrase is commonly thought to mean that the government should not establish, support, or otherwise involve itself in any religion." (Pat Roche)

Here is the first line of the First amendment to the U.S. Constitution. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"

Plain and simple, that is all it says. There is no mention of separation of church and state other than Jefferson saying something similar to that. In reality, the amendment was to prevent the government from making The Church of England the religion of the new USA. Since almost everyone belonged to that church at the time, and we had just separated ourselves from England, we didn't want anyone pushing England's church down our throat.

There is no such thing as seperation of church and state.  Just try to put a pagan in the whitehouse and see how far they get.

I think the late j.F.K. Answered that question back in the 60s for those of you who were not old enough to remember he was the first catholic president and i think his choice to do the blockade rather than take the military advice to bomb cuba tells us something that there really is no separation , the reason we know the outcome is because he made the deceision ....Hmmmm i wonder what george w would have done ? Or ronald reagan thats interesting ....I remember another deceision that was made by kennnedy but influenced by the military and it was called the bay of pigs.
