Title: separation of church and state
Post by justin_o_guy2 on 06/17/15 at 11:35:41

Im curious about how others interpret this concept
I'm also curious to see if anyone can tell where it's written.
That gets tossed around a lot, but,,,, I dont think most people understand the purpose or interpretation.

I googled it to see what would come up, there wasn't a definitive explanation of it's origin.

Best regards,

Well, someone here recently said it. It's used in journalism, coff, coff, if you can call it that. It's used to justify restriction of religious belief in certain places, wrongly.

And if trying to get people to consider the reasons for some of their opinions is a trap, then I'm setting one.

I thought it's origins were with a baptist group in a letter to jefferson.

What letter would that have been?

I'll look it up tomorrow but being a baptist myself, I seem to recall a small baptist group wrote jefferson encouraging him go take a stand and protect them from being legally bullied by a larger religious group. That's kinda what I remember.

The State can't tell us what to believe or not believe.
Saying
Merry Christmas
In a public building, handing out Christmas cards, not a problem.

I think it's funny that the "PC" version of "Christ Mass",... is "Holy Days"...

There should be a visual representation on "There I fixed it"... ;D...
