: Well, I think that there are several reasons why our founders felt that a seperation of Church and State was important. I agree with them. First, in today's society the argument surrounds the supression of Church by State rather than seperation. The founders simply meant that there should not be a State sponsored (or required) religeon. The union of Church and State eliminates freedom of religeous choice. This is a dangerous precedent and encourages followers that are not really dedicated to teh Church but rather compelled by the State.

: The current argument to seperate Church and State is based in the evil desire (based in humanism) to supress Christinaity and moral obligation set forth by Judeo-Christian moral standards. Consider how rare it is to hear a Muslim complain about a Christian moral standards. The movement to rewrite (or more accurately, redefine) "Seperation of Church and State" is being conducted by anti-religeon forces. In fact, I agrue that the issue is bigger than the constitution because the goal of these forces is to supress.

: Church and State should be seperated. My guess is that a united Church would not follow yours or my interpretation of the Scripture. I hope we learned that lesson by this country's experience in the early 1600's.
