Looking at the way George Bush dealt with the whole hurricane disaster, do you like him as a president? I think he did a horrible job. I haven't done tons of research or anything but first of all it took him 5 days to get people food and water, and before he even stepped FOOT in new orleans. Remember the tsunami? He was helping out the very next DAY and he can't even do that in our own country. I was just watching the news and it was pissing me off when they showed a clip of him hugging some new orleans residents like he saved the day, so i had to make this poll.

QUOTE(Jaws4God @ Sep 9, 2005 - 1:06 AM) Seperation of Church and State is not in the constitution and isn't part of the foundation of this country... Congress decided to dream that saying up to take God out of schools and the government... I think the country and world would be a much better place if we weren't turning from our Creator... [right][snapback]332415[/snapback][/right] No, your incorrect. The words "seperation of church & state" arent in the Constitution, but that doesnt mean that its not in there. Let me elaborate. That phrase, is not in the constitution, however, nobody is saying that it is. That phrase refers to the First Amendment which states that government shall pass NO laws which recognize a religion or prohibit one either. What does this mean? This means that government has no business with religion. Religion is a personal choice, and the gov't has no right to tell you what you are to beleive. At the same time, the gov't is what funds public schools, and anything elsel that is public. So this means that religion, which has nothing to do with government LEGALLY HAS NO RIGHT TO BE IN THE PRESENCE OF ANYTHING THAT IS PART OF THE FEDERAL GOV'T. If you want your children to be taught religion, you enroll them in a private school, not a public one. Anything having to do with government funding CONSTITUTIONALLY has no association with religion. Plain and simple. This is a common tool used by people like you to defend what they think is a science, and should be taught. No. Religion, which is NOT a science, should not be taught in schools. IMO religion is a private matter, taught in ones own home, and is not to be used in political decisions and policies. This is one reason why the world is screwed up, because people make decisions based on something that doesnt exist. Now you think the world would be a better place if everyone thought the same thing, believed in the same thing and worshipped the same mythical being as you do. I think thats pretty sick, in fact, thats cult sick. Theres no way in hell i'd ever believe in a god who allows this planet of people to operate the way it does. You say everything has a reason, well you cannot in a million years justify what this planet and billions of innocent people have endured.
