Seperation is not in the Constitution

For an exhaustive study on seperation of Church and State I will refer you to "The Original Intent, The Courts, the Constitution, & Religion" by David Barton. Don't let someone "tell" you about how the Founding Fathers felt about religion and state, read it for yourselves.

Censorship of Opposing Views by FirstFreedom

As should have been expected the debate is all one sided. No opposing views to the anti-American propaganda being spread here surrounding the leftist lie of separation of church and state.

I suppose we can thank the censorship guru Beth for keeping all eyes diverted away from behind the curtain. There is no debate here, no front page objection, just a one-way stream of demagoguery.

Only uneducated ignoramuses fall for this whiney bilge.

Mixing Religion in Government

"Religion should have no place in politics or government."

Now THAT'S a radical idea! I wish it were true because I suffer from the residual mess of that combination on a daily basis. I work for the federal government and it seems that each agency sort of crafts their own interpretation of the Constitution. I'm not kidding.

The agency I'm at allows for an hour of prayer and an hour of bible study every day. They add a proviso that time and attendance requirements should be adhered to - i.e. that you have to make up the time - but that simply does not occur. Oh...I also forgot one point...the only sanctioned religion is Christianity; other faiths need not apply.

If it ended there it would be bad enough, I guess, but it doesn't. These folks come back and basically have a roundtable discussion (i.e. proselytize) about what they learned in chapel that day. That can easily waste another hour. They also utilize government furnished equipment to send out daily email prayer lists or to work on the next newsletter for their local community church. Yeah, all of this is on the taxpayer's dime.

I've complained to my supervisory chain and elsewhere, but between being told that their hands are tied - whatever that means - little action is taken, if any.

Well, that's not exactly true. If you have the temerity to complain, you can easily be singled out for a nice little EEO complaint. I've been instructed to keep my religious opinions to myself in the office and I agreed...just as long as my co-workers did the same thing. Anyone think there any chance of that happening? Needless to say, I’m usually in hot water…

simulcast

I think the simulcast is a great idea but there seems to be a big gap in coverage. I am near Minneapolis and there is nothing closer than Chicago. Is there a way to get something in this area?
