This is a repost after a miscommunication on my part. Forbes was gracious enough to post it again in its complete form.

Good questions. With government imposing the radical homosexual agenda on society, we Christians will have no religious rights left at all. We must accept the government philosophy of sexual libertinism over everything we do.

The homosexual state religion will crush every Bible-believing church. No freedom of worship, no freedom of association, no freedom of education, no freedom of commerce, and no freedom of speech.

Nothing.

The commie DemocRATS have taken the First Amendment which is supposed to guarantee religious freedom and used it against us to take away our religious freedoms. And we let them do it.

Nice piece Bill. Hopefully some execs can read this and read other similar materials and maybe, JUST MAYBE, be able to stand up to the leftists that batter them every day. Keep it up.

You have right. Welcome to FR.

Americans are frequently reminded of what the revisionists deem our greatest achievement: “Separation of Church and State.” Crosses are ripped down in parks. Prayer has been banished from schools and the ACLU rampages to remove “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance. Moreover, “Separation of Church and State” is nowhere found in the Constitution or any other founding legislation. Our forefathers would never countenance the restrictions on religion exacted today.

So true. This amendment has been so twisted and distorted.

The religious portion has been completely gutted, while the press seem to think that they have unlimited power.

I am beginning to think that the American street is starting to wake up.

If the author wishes to discuss this, then the author should get it correct.

It is not the separation of church and state.

It is the separation of the POWERS of church and state.

Spot on! We need to push back on the lies and propaganda of the Left, and do so mightily.

The Separation of Church and State was a philosophical position advocated in a mature fashion in some 200 years earlier than referenced in this article.

Its inclusion in American history was from earlier English discussions into the same issues.

Here are some decent sources of study.

Locke, Queen Elizabeth I and a few others studied the issue circa 1550, some 200 yrs before Jefferson.
