my uncle forwarded another email that chapped my hide. anyway, the author was speaking about the whole ten commandments issue and how, if that's possible, we should just do away with God completely. or something to that effect. either way, it sounded too much like "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift. I'm tired of these questions. I almost wrote back that, frankly, I think that it's not the aethist but the "bible-thumping christian sectists" who are taking the concept of separation of church and state to mean the denial of God from all life. I had to shorten it and clean it up and instead wrote that it sounded too much like WASP propoganda and was too Jonathan Swift like. People need to get over themselves.

I'LL SAY THIS ONE TIME AND ONE TIME ONLY!!!!!!!!
SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE DOES NOT MEAN SEPARATION OF GOD FROM THE WORLD!!!!!
The concept comes from the monarchical rule that was a dominating factor in the past. The concept is there to protect the people. The government can never take our freedom of religion (1st Amendment) away without paying the ultimate price.

PRICE = REVOLUTION

And to tell you the truth, Americans are too narrow minded and uneducated to ever see the need to revolution because the government has blinded them to the need of such a thing.

So, stop bitching about ten phrases in the bible and worry about your own ass. Go to church. Go to strip clubs. Go to a McDonalds. Go to a Taco Cabana. Go anywhere and realize that you have the ability to go, worship and say just about anything without having men in black trench coats knock on your door and escorting you down to some dark basement for some re-education! And have enough common sense that if that ever does happen, stand up and don't lay down!
