Quote:You show little understanding of the constitution when you say that just because a phrase isn't in it that an idea is not.
Give Albert a little time and he will amaze you with his lack of understanding of many subjects.
James Madison was the primary framer of the First Amendment (Jefferson was ambassador to France at the time but Albert never lets facts interfere with his rants.)
Madison noted:
Quote:Madison's summary of the First Amendment:
Congress should not establish a religion and enforce the legal observation of it by law, nor compel men to worship God in any manner contary to their conscience, or that one sect might obtain a pre-eminence, or two combined together, and establish a religion to which they would compel others to conform (Annals of Congress, Sat Aug 15th, 1789 pages 730 - 731).
This is why the government needs to keep any of your xtian shit out of public life. You bastards can't be trusted.
