The fundamental basis of this nation's laws was given to Moses on the Mount. The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings we get from Exodus and St. Matthew, from Isaiah and St. Paul. I don't think we emphasize that enough these days. If we don't have a proper fundamental moral background, we will finally end up with a totalitarian government which does not believe in the rights for anybody except the State!Harry S. Truman

Was this man a prophet? How we've changed in the past fifty years
I get so tired of people, even Christians sometimes, talking about seperation of church and state out of context. Unless I misunderstand the intent of this myself, and if so someone please correct me, the main reasons for the seperation of church and state was so that people could have the freedom to worship the God of the Bible how they chose and not the government and/or state. The writers of the Constitution didn't want a repeat of what drove them to America in the first place. Their intent was never meant to be used to take prayer out of schools or biblical monuments/plaques etc out of federal/government buildings. It was also never meant to be interpretted as freedom from religion but as it is stated freedom of religion. So again people could choose to worship the God of the Bible as they chose. Lets get it back to how it used to be. The way it was meant to be.
