Ok, I know I just posted something, but I just have to write about this. Here is my question: how do the words of one man in a letter to another man become so misconstrued? It's this whole issue of "separation of church and state." It was the reason Prayer in schools was banned, why teachers can't discuss their beliefs with their students, why churches can't do anything in a school. Anytime prayer happens, or a Bible study is mentioned, or a group of students prays at a school event some one inevitably says, 'They can't do that! Separation of church and state!"
What it seems people fail to realize is that this phrase and what it entails were written to protect the church from being controlled by the state, not the church "infiltrating" the state. This phrase, this concept has nothing to do with religious activities happening in a school, or government building.
Anyway, that is all I have to say on this matter.
