Jim Jones?

I did hear of some inexpensive land in Guyana.  Also a joke I can't quite remember, the punch line was very long.  Lips Sealed

I would think Texas probably has to large a population for 50,000 (some odd) new voters to make a difference.  Perhaps a less populated state would be more appropriate.  

Can't Texas legally leave the union ?

God Bless !

I agree, this won't happen.  I do wonder what the people already living in South Carolina think about the idea.  I appreciate living in America and would not like the idea of being told that I would not be an American any longer.  

How about it ?  Anyone from South Carolina ?

Hello Tibby,

To answer your question, we don't need these monuments at all.  As a matter of fact, I've heard some of them were placed to promote a movie.  OTOH, don't think the ACLU is wasting money.  The Roy Moore incident cost the tax payers of the state of Alabama over $500K, not spare change.  However, I do find much of the decorations at SCOTUS to be both pleasing and historically interesting.  You can check out this site :

Enjoy !

Hello Tibby,

I agree with you about "Roy's rock", but blank does make a point, the 10Cs have/are coming down in other places.  The most recent (that I have heard about) being Deluth, Mn.

God has not been removed from the PoA.  I think only congress can do that.  

Prayer in schools ?  Ask any student before a tough final.

I think your question on evolution legitimate.  IMVHO, nothing is wrong.

God Bless !

Hello blank,

There have been protests and demonstrations against abortion, and the removal of the 10Cs from the courthouse in Alabama (I think a few posters on this board were there), and same sex marriage, and the teaching of evolution.  

God Bless !

Hello Cheli,

You ask a lot of questions, perhaps too many to be addressed at one time.  Why not pick 2 or 3 that are most important to you ?

Thanks !

I am a little suprised,  we've gone from the subjects of the Constitution and Religious Liberty to who has the best smilies.  Go figure !

Hello JudgeNot,

Thank you for your thoughtful reply.  Glad to see we are in general agreement on the first ammendment, and I did appreciate your 2nd ammendment humor.  I guess the question I have to ask now is whether a non-mention of God by government constitutes a promotion of atheism, or, as I would like to think, a sign of respect and sensitivity for all those (not just atheists) who do not share our monotheistic belief ?

Thank you for the examples.  I'm not familiar with the first three, but don't doubt you.  But without having any background I'd feel better not commenting at this time.

The 10 Commandment issue is a good one though.  I've read about cases in Indiana, Wisconsin, Alabama and recently Minnesota.  To be fair, the issue in Deluth has not gone to any court and probably will not do so.  AFAIK, the courts treat each case individually.  Sometimes the commandments were left in place, sometimes not.  The issue in Alabama (Roy Moore) probably got the most media attention.  It might have been better if SCOTUS did hear the appeal (they refused without comment), but I think I understand why they did so.  Did you have a particular case in mind ?

The Newdow case is also an interesting one, questioning the words "under God" in the PoA.  The SCOTUS heard arguments 2 days ago (March 24).  There are religious groups supporting both sides, emotions are running a little high (by court standards anyway), and one justice (Scalia) has recused himself, allowing for a 4-4 tie.  I'm pretty sure a decision either way will not effect me personally, but I am hoping the court does not dismiss the case based on Newdows standing.

God Bless

Thank you JudgeNot,

I would carry the interpretation of the establishment clause a little further to say that government is not to favor (or dis-favor) one or more religions over others.  In essence, government is to be neutral regarding religion.  Do you agree ?

There are limits to "free" speach but I do not feel these limits would include the mention of God, but would deal with things like libel for example.  So far, I do not see the mention of God being outlawed or repressed in and on its' own.  If you would provide one or more examples we could discuss it (them).

I do not find this bill to be a good one for a number of reasons.  For one, it violates the checks and balances our founding fathers intended.  Eliminating past cases from being used as precedent seems a very bad thing.  

If you read the bill I'm sure you can imagine situations where it could "backfire" on its' supporters.

Thanks !

Do we need a bill like this :

http://www.renewamerica.us/commandments/legislation/hr3799.htm

Why ?  Does the first ammendment not provide adequate protection ?

Hi all,

Is there any doubt that Saddam used chemical agents against both the Kurds and the Iranians ?  I don't think so.

God Bless !

104  Fellowship / You name it!! / Re:Capital Punishment on: November 19, 2003, 05:01:15 PM
Yes, with the same reservation that BEP mentions.  I'm not sure just how much a deterrent it is though, but it does serve as a statement by society about the value of human life.  If you take someone's life, society will take yours.

Peace
