"I've noticed the whole idea of separation of church and state has left Brumar and gregoree completely flummoxed" I've noticed that water is wet. ;-) "We need a new Pax Romana on world affairs with no church views superseding that of the common citizen and no mention of Allah or any other deity in any countries constitution. Leave them all free to imagine whatever they want and no tax privileges as a matter of fact taxed at twice the going rate to show their sincerity." Well official government words in official government places ought not to be using any faith based words related to common religious dogma. I don't believe prayers or invocations to God (or Allah, or anything) in a public place by a public official honors the separation of church and state. Such utterances are personal and have no business being expressed as representing "the people" by those representing "the people". IT IS NOT MORAL. (Of course, such propaganda could be used in war time as an emergency legislative measure). Circumstances alter cases. If having a special god who thinks you are special motivates you to go out and kill, then Onward Christian Soldiers!!
