it can't be, the boys want religion to be intertwined with life in the US and thus it can't be, separation of church and state it just can't be. It is evil So tell me why the Government is entertwined with Major League Baseball. I thought NFL Football was the religion of choice in America. BTW, while football might reveal character it does not build it. One further question, what happened in 1797 that makes you believe we were not founded on christian principles? Was it that phony Article 11 of the Treaty with the Barbary Pirates? The real answer is we don't care if religion is entertwined with life in the US. Be specific, what is your complaint!

Tiger, it can't be, the boys want religion to be intertwined with life in the US and thus it can't be, separation of church and state it just can't be. It is evil Here's evil intertwined and it's hardly right wing but hey, it's religion in the schools. massnews.com Our reporter, Ed Oliver, questioned the Superintendent about this statement after last month's meeting. She conceded she had made the statement and she repeated her strong opinion that there is a separation of church and state. So the reporter then asked, "Why then are the Lexington schools co-sponsoring the 'Respecting Differences' activities [a pro-homosexual seminar and other events] along with the lead sponsor, Lexington's Unitarian Church?" The Superintendent was silent for a moment. She was unable to answer the question other than to stammer, "That's how Lexington does things, as a community." She was unable to answer the question because it was absolutely clear that she was wrong when she said there is a separation of church and state in Lexington. To the contrary, the schools have a dominant religion. It is the religion of humanism which is entwined with most of what is taught in the schools.
