And which form of Christianity? Our system works largely because of its diverse forms, and it was this diversity that James Madison depended on to protect the rights of conscience.

Dear RobbyS: You know that the James Madison you regard was educated by the Rev.John Witherspoon, an ordained Presbyterian minister. Are you willing to draw the conclusion that Madisonianism is a form of "secularized" Presbyterianism?

You would be honest, and correct to do so, but this would lead you to admit that Presbyterianism is a good Protestant form of Christianity, wouldn't it?

It's been an interesting issue to ponder over the years. Diversity is somewhat inherently necessary for free will, choice.

How would you rewrite the constitution to minimize the problems given to Christianity in our era while preserving suitable diversity?

I'm just glad Christ will be the overt and resident Boss sooner than later. What a day that will be!
