Quite true. And then somebody comes along and says that to suit "our" (meaning "your")purposes, "we" (i.e., "you") have deliberately twisted the intent of the founders, and have invented a doctrine -- the "separation of church and state" -- that they never advocated.

I really don't care if they advocated it or not. I advocate it. So do many other Americans. Others don't. Since there is a disagreement, we should put it to the vote, not try to figure out what people long dead wanted or didn't want. The opponents of separation don't like that idea, because they will lose the vote and they know it.

Of course if we want to get New Age about it, we could always have a seance and call back the shades of the founders. I wonder how the Christian fundamentalists would feel about that.
