Given your chidlish level of comprehension, I expect you need a lot of people telling you what things really mean.

Yeah well if you find someone who can then let me know. I'm sure not getting it from you.

That a President could *ORDER* troops under his command to attend Christian services is a complete rejection of the modern theory that the national government was intended to be completely secular and non-biased regarding religion.

Now who has the comprehension problem? Lincoln says "desires and enjoins" and you claim it's an *ORDER*.

That General Order proves this modern understanding to be completely wrong.

Of course it does.

This is why I don't like discussing anything with you. You have to be led by the hand, all the while you kick and scream about not wanting to go. You act like a little child.

To wind up in the odd-ball places that you inhabit? I can't imagine any other way a rational person could get there other than being led by the hand.

Yes, I fully believe that you don't have the background in history to understand things such as this.

Oh I have a very good understanding of history. It just doesn't have your wacky slant. And your claim that the Founders only meant the "no religious test" clause to apply to Christian sects only, and that Jews or Muslims or any non Christian religion could be prohibited from public office at will is definitely in that category.

You can lead a horse's ass to water, but you can't make it drink.

The word "ORDER" is at the top of the page. You know, in the headline.

You really are a waste of my time. I'm probably just going to ignore you now.
