"..Shall make no law barring..." is a far cry from acknowledging a god. You'll need to come up with a better argument than that, I'm afraid. -- John T http://tknowlogy.com/TknoFlyer ____________________ If you're going to use quotes, use them accurately: " Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. " Seems to me "no" means "no" as in "none", "not any", "zero". An established religion has a specific meaning. It means that to be in parlement or congress or in some cases to own property one must be a member of the national -established- religion. Like Islam in Saudi Arabia. Or the CofE in 18th century England. It means far less than the ACLU claims these days. -ash for assistance dial MYCROFTXXX |

John,
You'll need to come up with a better argument than that, I'm afraid. Seems I don't. See H. Adams Stevens' post. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Adams Stevens' post. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) Thanks Tom. The Constitution seems quite clear on the subject, but it is de-facto ignored when it suits some folks. Take the second amendment, for example; And more recently the so-called Patriot Act. One thing all pilots and only pilots have in common is solo flight. No amount of government or outside help can save you in that blissful predicament. You're on your own. I love it; Have since my first solo in 1967. BTW my middle name has no "s" at the end. I'm fascinated by the frequency with which it spontaneously grows that sibilant appendage. Yours is by no means the first time I've observed my name grow longer of it's own volition. Blue skies H.
