ronald_reagan Wrote:How can you seperate church and state when Congress opens with prayer each morning? The supreme court as well. Where is the seperation of church and state in the constitution? Its not. Its in a letter from Jefferson to a baptist. Where was Jefferson when the constitution was written? France. What religion did Jefferson follow? None.
The point to the thread is that 9 people voted against this measure, but voted for a similiar one honoring Ramadan. Thats incredible.
lol, don't get your panties in a wad. Most people associate the separation of church and state with the first amendment which states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". I think that would apply to the vote you mentioned. If congress did vote to honor Christmas, couldn't they also vote on how we should celebrate it, or what church we should belong too? I don't care who "Honors" Christmas, I do, so does my family, and for the ones who don't, I will pray that they someday find god.
I was just responding to you getting all worked up. As long as you can still freely worship how you wish, why does that bother you?
