Because Amendment One wasn't embarrassing enough.

What would be this state religion? Christianity? Which sect?

And aren't a bunch of christards (Bill O'Reilly comes to mind) That are trotting around that christianity isn't a religion, its a philosophy? Can these people make up their minds?

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Well, festive, apparently the constitution only applies on a federal level (whatever that means) and also...

We don't have a nifty reminder we can walk by every day:

For those who don't have the luxury of having lived near or living near DC, this is the side of the Newseum, which is exactly what it sounds like. It is bam smack right there on the street, bigger than life, and I wish this was mandatory to place in every city.

Now, now...

Don't be hasty. Perhaps Pastafarianism is the state-religion-to-be.

Pirates, strippers, beer -- sounds like the South already.

the early church thrived under the persecution of the politicians of the roman empire
Christ doesn't need help from stupid, corrupt politicians
"This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
