Blocking government from making an official or national religion, is constraining religion to those who want to practice that particular form of superstition, outside the practicalities of governance.Quote from peilthetraveler:
No it doesnt...It refers to constraining the governments involvement in peoples religion. Why do you think so many people left England to come to America?

2 famous STRAIGHT male actors kissing in public...and what do people say about it? They cheer them on.
See...these two guys see how much acceptance and praise homosexuals get for being homosexual. They wanted that praise, so even though they are both not homosexual, they both kissed just to get the praise. Now maybe some of you can understand that if two grown men do this type of crap, you can imagine how it affect children. How long before boys start kissing boys in school and on the playground? Obviously if the homosexual movement can make two fully grown rational thinking men do this stuff, Kids are also likely to try it.
America...breeding ground for homosexuals. Sick.
Quote from stu:
Disregarding the one-sided partisan comments which demonstrates a common lack of insight through most of your confused ideas, you've managed to show why the country was not founded on a christian or any other religion.
You could have saved all that self-contradictory anger against those who do not share your superstitious beliefs, by just posting with some remedial work, the concluding sentence.
"The only safe way to be - is not allow <strike>extreme progressives or extreme</strike> any extremists or religious groups infringe our constitutional liberties."
Nothing much wrong there, but it is worth noting the Constitution refers specifically to constraining religion, not progression or liberty.
In context, progressives are those who favor a political philosophy of progress and reform and the protection of civil liberties.
For you though, even being correct by mistake is a progressive step in the right direction.
Quote from maxpi:
My view on gay rights in a recent interview:
Brainless leftist questioner: Gee maxpi, do you think that men should be allowed to marry men?
maxpi: do I believe that sex addicted men should be encouraged to f%^k each other in their hairy, stinking, @ssholes and form a horribly diseased subculture that has the potential to force every straight male out of the best jobs because sex is such a strong networking tool?
Brainless leftist questioner: That's not what I said!!
maxpi: yes it is!!
Brainless leftist questioner: you're a homophobe!!
maxpi: uhh, let's see, do I want a horrendously diseased subculture in my country.... let me think about it... NO!! Does that make it a phobia?
Brainless leftist questioner: You're a right wing dick!! Go touch yourself and think of Sarah Palin!!
maxpi: try to stay on topic and answer the questions...
Brainless leftist questioner: Hate monger!!
Of course it's true for peil, otherwise he would be full of shit. And we know that can't be.Quote from Ghost of Cutten:
...Another question - if you think that seeing gay people make out is going to increase the rate of homosexuality, that must mean that your desire to have sex with a man increases when you see two gays make out. Is this true peil?
Quote from jem:
I just kicked your ass on this subject on another thread and you come here and distort American History again.
1. The establishment clause was designed to allow the states to practice and have ties and establish religion without interference from the feds.
The establishment clause was not and could not be applied to the states until after the passage for the 14 th amendment.. (after the civil war)
The U.S. Supreme court declared we were a Christian Nation.
And explained that the majority of the states had constitutions and case laws establishing the Christian principles.
2. The whole constitution was established to prevent progessives from creating too large a central govt. If you do not understand that you do not understand history.
Are you an American? Did you go to school here? Did you learn about the Bill of Rights? and the separation of powers?
Everything you say on this subject is delusional.
