"...or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

A kid can't acknowledge God as being intrumental to his successes...

A high school senior in Mesa, AZ was given a full page tribute in their yearbook. He was pictured wearing his letter jacket and holding his Bible. He said he "owes all of his success to God". Yet the yearbook faculty advisor removed the reference to God and replaced it with "others". Reasoning that they did so out of concerns for separation of church and state. Read the story HERE.

Just in case some of you never bothered to read it:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

Now, can anyone tell me how you can come up with "separation of church and state" out of that?
I mean, I know the Godless out there will contort the Constitution in all sorts of ways to get God out of the public eye. But no sane person can read the above and find anything that remotely suggests a separation of church and state.

... that's because it's a flippin' metaphor! IT IS NOT IN THE CONSTITUTION- Period!
It's not a gray area. It's not a blurred line as suggested by another blogger recently, it's not- in fact- a part of our Constitution.
Anyone who can take a letter Jefferson wrote to the Danbury Baptist association and use it as a basis of "interpretation" for the Constitution is deserving of the label Godless. The only reason those plain-english words would need "interpretation" is so the Godless can remove any reference to Him.
Oh, that's right. They'd rather use a metaphor than the actual written law that IS the Constitution. Whatever keeps moving their Godless agenda.

If you're at all interested the Jefferson letter to the Danbury Baptist Association can be found at the Library of Congress web site.
