i for one do not believe it is a violation of church or state.. they are just giving in to fanatical pressure. the are not promoting one religion over another they are not sponsoring any religion so were is this violation at.. How can you say that it's not sponsoring any religion if they are using a "Bible"? That is a clear indication that they are promoting the Bible as having some sort of 'valid' connection to "god". and there is where we differ .. all the religions have a belief in a god .. different names.. but still a god ..still they are not promoting one over the other. that is the basis of it all..that's how i can say that.. |

There seems to be a belief in this country that the USA is a "Christian Nation"; and that the "Founding Fathers" were Christians led by GOD for the establishment of the USA. Is any of this true? Yes, it is true. Our justice system grew out of the judeo/christian belief system and depended upon the belief in God to the degree that a man would not place his hand on a Bible, swear to tell the truth, and then lie in court. Most of our laws are spinoffs of that belief system. However, groups such as the Puritans and the Quakers knew well of persecution so one of the founding tenants of our Bill of Rights is the freedom of Religion. A citizen was free to worship (or not) as he saw fit. By contrast, review some Islamic laws to see how much difference there is. Of course our courts here in Denver do not require the bible or the swearing to god anymore because they realized that it is a violation of church and state as is alot of the religion that still exists in our government. It should be fixed soon, hopefully. i for one do not believe it is a violation of church or state.. they are just giving in to fanatical pressure. the are not promoting one religion over another they are not sponsoring any religion so were is this violation at.. |
