Originally posted by seer View PostJim the point is even with things like school prayer some government support for Christianity, the Ten Commandments in School, we did NOT have religious tyranny.“He felt that his whole life was a kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.” - Douglas Adams.

Originally posted by seer View PostNo it doesn't - it was about to instituting a federal state church when one had to worship.
The Founders themselves did use tax monies to support the Christian religion, no one would have had a problem with school prayer or a display of religious symbols in government buildings. And I defy you Tass to show otherwise.

Originally posted by JimL View PostNo, it implies that the federal government can not favor one church/religion over another, and by allowing christian led prayer in public schools, or levying taxes to support christian churches/sects, the federal government would be doing just that.
They obviously had a problem with it, even if they didn't fully recognize the problem or practice what they preached at the time.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Which is why Congress (both houses) STILL employ chaplains for their own sessions, open every session with prayer, and employ Chaplains for the Military....

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostAll this battle is based on the first amendment, which includes the prohibition clause, Jimmy --- which says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;..."
I never said "Christian" chaplain, Jimmy - and since I actually AM one, I'm well aware they come in all flavors. But, in the beginning, they were - indeed - Christian chaplains, paid for with government funds.
