Separation of church and state.. the myth Posted on Monday, November 15, 2004 In seeing discussion in Myrrander's thread on (link follows immediately, click on text to the right and/or below) Intelligent Design? Where's the Proof?, I had to head off again and dig up info on the separation of Church of State and the myths surrounding same. Here's a few references to chew on for discussion about whether the separation of Church and State was ever supposed to exist or not. link: The Myth of the Separation of Church and State link: The Separation of Church and State article by David Barton link: warning, this one is from a blatantly religious site (and is more than a bit reflective on Michael Newdow and his lawsuits trying to keep God out of schools). link: SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE ISSUES link: First Ammendment facts Read any, some, or none, and then feel free to discuss which is right and/or which is wrong and why? Is there supposed to be a "separation of church and state" as we have today, or has the constitution and or the bill of rights been mis-understood and mis-applied in order to squelch religious content in this country.
