Stephen, I am starting to worry about and for you. You are really a little incoherent. Try to write in more complete sentences. We want to understand what makes you tick.

If you would take time to thoroughly read the oft misquoted amendment about church and state, you may realize that it had nothing to do with limiting religious expression in any public place. It's only goal, was to prevent the formation of a dictated, national religion, like the forefathers had been subjected to in England, and had been prevalent in Spain, and Italy. There has never, and there is not any intention by the Republicans, or any Christian group, to establish such a "national" religion. The panic like fear of you non-believers is unwarranted, and your claims of the wish for religious domination, are ludicrous. If you don't like there being a "Jesus" day, don't celebrate it. To your amazement, you will not be hung. ~H~
