"Congress
shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of
the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the Government for
a redress of grievances."

Where does it say "Separation
of Church and State"? It doesn't. The First Amendment like so much of
the Constitution was to protect our liberties from the GOVERNMENT. It was
intended so that the government could not dictate to the people a
religion. Would you believe that 69% of the people in this country
believe that the Constitution contains the phrase "Separation of Church
and State"? Little known fact: "Separation of Church and State" is
contained in the constitution of the former USSR.
This is very nice...
When Minister Joe
Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone
was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard:
"Heavenly
Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your
direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call
evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our
spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We confess that we have
ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and call it Pluralism. We have
exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness
and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to
discipline our children and called it building self esteem. We have
abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbor's
possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with
profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have
ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it
enlightenment. Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us
from every sin and set us free. Guide and bless these men and women who
have been sent to direct us to the center of Your will and to openly ask
these things in the name of Your Son, the living Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen!"
