    But of course the bigoted infidel libtards believe that any meaningful deference to the "free exercise" clause constitutes "religious tyranny."

      That's beside the point. The First Amendment’s Establishment Clause requires that government not favor or endorse one religion over others or religion over non-religion. For this reason in two landmark judgments in 1962 and 1963, the U.S. Supreme Court declared organized public school prayer to be unconstitutional.

        No 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.

          The First Amendment's Prohibition Clause, which you stubbornly and dishonestly ignore, requires that the government shut up and stay out of religion.

            No, 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.

              And the second part says that Congress will keep their nose out of religion.

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

                Ah, I see, you're under the mistaken idea that chaplain=christian.

                  All 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;..."[/quote]

                  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.

                      No they didn't. Since those things did not violate the language - Congress shall make no LAW.

                        I think this is yet another case where Jimmy believes his LiberalTalkingPointsForIdiots and his "truth" is more important than facts.

                            Correct, and Congress didn't prohibit the free exercise thereof, The Supreme Court ruled it, prayer in schools, unconstitutional.


                            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.
                            So what if in the beginning they were, that doesn't change the ideal as set down in the Constitution. When the country became more diverse so did the employ of chaplains of all religious beliefs in accord with the ideal as writ in the Constitution. And btw, they are employed/paid as chaplains, not as preachers, and Conress gets to choose their chaplains.

                              Originally they were not preachers, they were clerics.

                                Congress didn't make a law, seer, They didn't have to, it's already (the Establishment Clause) in the Constitution. Prayer in public schools would be respecting the establishment of a religion. And levying taxes in support of any particular religious Institution would be respecting the establishment of religion. Do you think you should have to pay taxes to support a religious institution that you don't believe in? No, I didn't think so. Neither would that agree with the Constitution.
