Actually, I hadn't. I don't know very much about Protestantism. Just wondering; does this imply that all other christian sects are lazy?
Polaris Wrote:Really. Where do you get that the Constitution clearly explains the Separation of Church and State? That only came into play starting in 1948.
wikipedia Wrote:"Separation of church and state" (sometimes "wall of separation between church and state") is a phrase used by Thomas Jefferson (in his 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptists) and others expressing an understanding of the intent and function of the Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The phrase has since been repeatedly cited by the Supreme Court of the United States.
