First put the OT in the header! And where does it say they had a vision to
separate religion and state? They only stated there would not be a state
religion! Ala Church of England. They mentioned God in the Declaration of
Independence. They opened Congress with prayers, etc. Jimcomma, use your
brain for some self examination and reasoning. Do not go along with
whatever liberal sound bite of the day you find comforting.

"...our founding fathers had the superior vision to separate church and
state. It is a fundamental principle that has allowed our great, diverse
nation to grow and flourish peacefully. blurring the line between church
and state erodes our constitution, and our democracy. it is a blatant
abuse of power. participating in something designed to incite divisiveness
and encourage contention is unacceptable. I would hope that sen. Frist
will rise above something so beyond the pale.”

Sorry about the OT -- it's my failing memory, BUT OTOH, YOU found it
interesting enough to read and respond.
