There is no mention of God in the constitution. I think you can take that as a hint. The Amendments, as you know, were critical in the opinions of our founding fathers. And of course it is obvious when you read any of their writings that they were rabid radicals regarding the separation of church and state. Today they would probably be more radical than either you or I. They had great scope of imagination to see things not as they were, and not as the majority might want them at that time, but as they could be. There are few people now with vision like that.

I found this very funny quote for weak arguments.

Lincoln of Steven Douglas: "His argument is as thin as the homeopathic soup made by boiling the shadow
of a pigeon that had been starved to death."
