I'm not doubting that happened, what I have a problem with is the idea that the Founding Fathers specifically set aside money to have bibles printed to be distributed in our schools. It's simple history revisionism.
i have 6 points of reference (including the title page of one of those bibles, and from the libary of coongress itself) that all indicate the congress Not only supported this priniting but authorized it for use in public/offical use. That is the point. Hiding behind a huffington post artical/blog will not help you escape that truth.
Quote:Even if it weren't, the Supreme Court has upheld time and time again the wall of separation of church and state.
Which only prooves that the supreme court has changed the fundemental meaning of that term. Because the men who coined that term, where the same men who had these bibles printed. In their version of that term, this seperation meant that the state did not have a say in how or where religious freedoms were practiced. whether it be in school, in war, or serving the people of this nation in office. The fact that Congress voted and and accepted this bible prooves that fact like it or not. Which underscores the current bastardatition of the Law and it's intended meaning.
Quote: We know that our country works better keeping religion and government separate. Let's face it, forcing kids to pray in school is one battle that fundamentalists have lost, and it's never going to happen again.
what are you talking about it happens all the time. The law simply states there are to be no teacher lead prayer.
