I don't know where the gibberish in your first paragraph comes from, nor what you intended it to convey. I do know that I do not have the time to tippy toe through the tulips of your strange imagination--leastwise, not without some cues. Do you believe in the separation of church and state? Some people do not. Are you one of that fringe group? I asked, "how many wars could have been avoided if ALL countries separated church and stae and NO countries were ruled by religious authority." Your response was "probably none". This shows an appalling lack of insight into world history. The comment is so absurd and self serving that it hardly needs further review.EVERYWHERE? Would that be for everyone, universally Not for everyone , but for every state and for every religion.that is exactly the position of John Lennon's song It has nothing to do with John Lennon. It has to do with the first and the 14th amendments, and the Supreme COurt rulings.People would then automatically do what is right, even though there is no right to do. No one would want to take what was not theirs, and we could all live in a global coke commercial What do these silly comments have to do with the question of the separation of church and state?Have you told any one else about this magnificent plan of yours? You are unusually thick today. I had very little to do with the founding fathers, and even less to do with the Supreme Court rulings, LOL! I am begining to think that you are one of those people who do not believe in democracy or in freedom of religion. But you have yet to answer the question directly: Do you agree with the principle and policy of the separation of church and state?
