The original intentions of separating church from state were to allow people the freedom to practice religion and worship without ridicule or prosecution from the state and to prevent a theocratic canonical rule. To that extent, they should be separated. It was not to prohibit people from worshiping and to prevent the demagoguing of a religion.
The inclusion of aspects of particular religions in public affairs shouldn't be viewed as an intrusion of church into state. I don't know how you could assert that the display of a nativity, christmas tree, manorah or other peaceful symbolic gesture would violate the original intent of separating church from state.
the entire concept has been hijacked for political posturing.
but it hasn't worked for 100s of years in Europe. France, Spain, Italy, Germany certainly can't be cited as having hundreds of years of success... the french revolution, the fall of the fourth republic, Spanish civil war in the 30s, fascist italy and nazi germany.... i mean come on?!?! You call that working? Meanwhile, spains credit ranking has just been downgraded, and did you miss the rioting in greece? not to mention their broke! Socialism has never and will never result in anything other than mile ling breadlines.
lets look at some of the socialist success stories in the united states.... social security - BROKE. medicaid - BROKE.
I am probably a good person but I haven't taken the time to fill out my profile, so you'll never know! |
