Reply #12: On the same page... "Fighting Words for a Secular America" [View All]

Yep, I think we are on the same page. Sometimes I have problems stating my deep feelings.

It's been a long time since high school (for me anyway)... but, I have strong feelings about the "Separation of Church & State" and have refreshed my high school studies by taking a number of great courses on the http://www.pbs.org website. I am so sick of the extreme right putting all Christians into one lump... quoting their massive right-wing support using total church membership numbers or a specific faith total numbers, etc. Assuming everyone (even in one church) is all so far right...

I just did a post on one of the courses I went through online to refresh myself on this subject and posted it tonite if anyone else is so inclined or have a need to refresh themselves and better enable them to rebut some of the extreme right myths and lies about our founding documents and "Separation of Church & State"...

My above post was responding to a root post on the Separation-State DU threads which had a great post referencing the following article on this same subject we are discussing: (a very good article to read)
