You know what's amazing to me... think about the inauguration in itself. The President Elect swears on the bible... the Seperation of Church & State is gone.Originally Posted by Good Doctor HST
Yep. I know that our money and our Pledge of Allegiance all have the word "God", but that's an ambiguous word. 95% of the world believes in some form of higher being. I have no problem with that.
But the Bible only represents 1 distinct religion.
Of course, people who testify in court place their hand on a bible too. If those individuals don't believe in the "Jesus" God, what good does it do?
Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?Originally Posted by Good Doctor HST
Always on the New Testament... never the old, or at least the book of the person's religion.
There was never true separation of church and state. Our founding fathers didn't have a non-christian country in mind ... they were simply looking to break from the church of England.Originally Posted by Gold9472
the pilgrims and other settlers looking for religious freedom were almost all christian. I'm not even sure it occurred to anyone back then that hindus or muslims or shintos or hari Krishnas (etc etc) would be seeking religious aslyum here as well ...
