Separation of church and state- not that the church wouldn't be involved in the state, that the state could not rule the church

Point to Base, Point to Base, flying as low as possible, but Tiffany138 is just too low to reach without hitting the ground, request further instructions, over!
True fundy story:
Winston Jen: No, let's reserve that one for Richard, who is "majoring in the Constitution" -- yet misnumbers, misquotes, and misunderstands just about every aspect of every amendment in the Bill of Rights he has mentioned so far.
Tiffany, you know nothing about the Constitution, nor about your religion. The First Amendment (and intent of the founding fathers) both call for a complete seperation of government and religion. Neither one can affect the other. The call for this seperation came mainly from Baptists. Yes, Baptists. Baptists were a minority religion and wanted a seperation between church and state to protect them. Baptists are still a minority in this country (16.3%, outranked by Catholics at 24.5%), so are you sure you'd like to do away with church-state separation? How would you like it if the government told you that you had to follow the Pope's word?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
