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.

Seems appropriate to the religious discussion: The Top Ten Ways You Know You've Joined the Wrong Church 10. The church bus has gun racks. 9. The church staff consists of pastor, associate pastor and sociopastor. 8. It uses the Dr. Suess version of the Bible. 7. There is an ATM machine in the lobby. 6. The choir wears leather and metal robes. 5. Worship services are BYOS (bring your own snakes). 4. There's no cover charge, but communion is a two drink minimum. 3. The pastor regularly attends meetings in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. 2. The ushers ask, "Smoking or Nonsmoking?" And the #1 way to tell you've joined the wrong church is: 1. The women's quartet are all married to the pastor.
