You don’t read “separation of church and state” when your read the First Amendment – it doesn’t exist in the Constitution! And those who are FOR this ‘movement’ are only following a flawed erroneous pursuit – meaning, it’ll come to nothing. But I dare say that defending anti-scientific religion like evolutionism IS indeed clear violation of the 1st Amendment. Dealing an utterly flawed denomination that was never there in the first place – but fanatical wishful thinkers would like us to believe so.

Sigh. I still miss TruthfulChristian. Sure, he recycled the same old, worn out, easily disproved, lame arguments as i2i and a gazillion other Christian fundies, but at least he had wit and a flair for the absurd.
The phrase “seperation [sic] of church and state” does not appear in the Constitution. Yup. We knew that. Nor does the phrase “freedom to spew idiotic drivel”. But the Constitution does protect your right to spew idiotic drivel, and it does keep government separate from religion.

“The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment prohibits the establishment of a national religion by the Congress or the preference of one religion over another, non-religion over religion, or religion over non-religion.”
This means the US government must treat all religions and non-religions equally. This means that religious matters must be SEPERATE from government matters.

@RocknForJesus Every man, conducting himself as a good citizen, and being accountable to God alone for his religious opinions, ought to be protected in worshipping the Deity according to the dictates of his own conscience.
— George Washington, letter to the United Baptist Chamber of Virginia, May 1789, in Anson Phelps Stokes, Church and State in the United States, Vol 1. p. 495, quoted from Albert J Menendez and Edd Doerr

@RocknForJesus “Of all the animosities which have existed among mankind, those which are caused by a difference of sentiments in religion appear to be the most inveterate and distressing, and ought to be deprecated. I was in hopes that the enlightened and liberal policy, which has marked the present age, would have reconciled Christians of every denomination so far that we should never again see the religious disputes carried to such a pitch as to endanger the peace of society. – Washington

FYI, US Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit Atheism has the same protected as a Religions, It didn’t declare that atheim was a religion, they declared that atheim was afforded equal protection with religions under the Establishment Clause.

@cstrand31 i agree with you completely but this guy is a total troll, I mean he doesn’t even answer any of the rebuttal to his creationist drivel, some guys (ei this guy )are just here to waste the time of others, but yes it’s good to at least clear things up for those who see these type of videos and actually feel convinced by them. Ah how little faith I have in humanity now a days. Maybe, I hope to one day see a world with out such ignorance, what a sight that would be.

@THADI0US I disagree. IMHO, I feel we need to shine a big ol’ spotlight on this type of creationist christian ignorance. It’s important to know what our baseline for acceptable willful ignorance is. That way people can say “Yeah, I believe some crazy ideas, but at least I’m not as crazy as THAT guy.”

Seems a little crazy for every single member of the US Senate to approve something that says American gov’t was founded on the Christian religion if it actually was as you say. One of you is wrong. Hint: you are always wrong.

This guy is a troll stop paying attention if you keep feeding him he’ll just keep making more nonsense videos, I mean seriously it’s old hovinist crap, and if he is this dumb then maybe he deserves to live in complete ignorance. Every individual is responsible for hi own knowledge he can either chose to be for truth and scrutinize every piece of data or he can be a sheep and just follow the flock.
I hear ignorance is bliss.

You’re right the first amendment doesn’t explicitly say separation of church, instead it’s explicitly said in the federalist papers, but merely implied in the constitution. Don’t they teach you kids about the constitution, and its foundation anymore?
Nice trolling though :p

You rely on Kent Ham’s statement: “You can’t have freedom from religion because everyone has a religion. In fact there are only two religions ultimately. You start with God’s word or man’s word.” Nice equivocation by Ham on the word “religion”. When you take that into account, the rest of his “argument” is completely baseless.
Instead of parroting Ham or Hovind, try thinking for yourself.

No, this country was founded on the idea of freedom. Most of our founding fathers were deists, pantheist and atheists. They came here to escape religious control, dogma, bigotry and just plain stupidity. Unfortunately for you what you think and your beliefs have no grounds in reality. Sorry but you must try to learn history from a non bias/neutral position.

What most supposed Christians can’t understand is that America is a freakish doomed satanic state.
America keeps Religion out of government so that it can become a cradle of sin.
