Proves my point. Before they "teamed up", they certainly weren't there to

They certainly did. To rebel against the government and put in your own
(and write the rules of your new government) is liberal. There is nothing
about it that isn't liberal.

Ah - but you changed the words and the meaning to twist it to your
purpose. "...shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"
is not the same thing as "shall [may?] not make any law establishing any
religion". Nice try, but a little too transparent.

The government
> cannot mingle in religion. No how, no way, "*no law*".

That's much closer to the meaning of the original wording than your
earlier paraphrase.

There's two sides to that coin. If they can't make a law respecting the
establishment of a religion, then neither can they forbid nor demand
it. If prayer happens it happens, if it doesn't then it doesn't. They
can't make it happen and they can't forbid it from happening. The most
they can do is remain silent on it.

> Therefore the Congress cannot legalize prayer in the schools...

Nor forbid it if it happens - read the original words (not your
paraphrase that has a totally different meaning).

If you don't know the difference between establish, separate and mingle,
then you'll never understand the 1st amendment. I've never established
a restaurant, gas station or any other business yet I don't separate
myself from them. I go into and make use of many businesses, all
without ever having established one.

Correct. However, official establishment of a prayer would clearly
violate the part about demanding it. Likewise, I can pray any time
I want, within the limits of disrupting a public purpose, such as a
school engaged in its lawful duties to educate children.

So as a student I can pray at my desk, every morning, about 8AM while
the teacher takes roll call. But, I can't stand up and lead the class
in a prayer sanctioned by the administration.

I pray that you never have a gay child.

Of course, you probably do, as well, just for different reasons.

Oh, I dunno, you just established yourself as not having a clue.

The meaning of the clause is obvious. The meaning was reinforced
by none other than Thomas Jefferson, who was a leading writer of
the Constitution. This may come as a shock to you, but the members
of the Supreme Court often review the notes and writings of the
Framers and try to establish the context and intent of the
Constitution and it's amendments as written. The intent of this
Amendment was and still is clear.

Only folks like you who try to twist it into some other meaning
have a problem with it. Sorry, if you want an officially Christian
country, you'll need to move somewhere else.

Oh God, now we got a NEW thread that's centered on discussing the OLD
thread.

Time honored advice is if you don't like something then go elsewhere. None
of the
Jeep/Sheep thread participants are going to alter their behavior based on
what
anyone says, so complaining about it just makes you look like a Usenet
newbie.

Usenet has had hundreds, if not thousands, of "threads that never die" and
you know
something, all those threads eventually died. This one will too. In the
meantime,
just don't read it. And if you want to do something constructive, post
about cars.
If enough people do that, then the Jeep/Sheep thing will get lost in the
shuffle.
The fact that you didn't shows that you also don't have anything auto
related to
talk about either right now, and why do you think the Jeep/Sheep thread has
gone on
as long as it has?

Then lets make it more simple. The federal government illegally respects
establishments of religion. The federal government defines what
constitutes an established religion. The federal government (and most
state and local governments) subsidize these religious organizations that
have their establishment respected by the laws of the federal government.

For some reason, this netKKKopping asshole actually thinks that anyone really
cares that he's reported a poster to Google abuse. "Oh, look everyone! Look
what I just did!"

Dingleberry is right. You netKKKops are just whiny little bitches.
