  1. > Mohammad Quarashisasjndjsa Well ... you are rude. You have no basis for making that accusation of being uneducated. I do however agree with your basic argument about the legal interpretation of the establishment clause.

  2. > I bothered watching the entire video, and reading the constitution. I took the time to understand what the establishment clause entails, Well that's admirable. > while he clearly did not. You have no basis for that claim. - it's pure guesswork. > If you want to argue, do your due diligence to understand what the fuck you're talking about. Oh... I see a pattern here.

  3. Timothy Bowen Actually... that might be a deeper question than even yourself is aware of. You see... the establishment clause separates religion and state. So ... somehow you could argue that it also protects the regressive agenda by not letting the state pretend that one religion is better than another. And that's kinda the whole problem with the concept of religion. You can take any totalitarian ideology - add some supernatural claims and call it a religion (just look at Scientology). Therefore, something doesn't deserve respect just because it's a religion. You have to judge ideologies on their merits. So why can't you criticize Islamism in the school the same way as Communism? Maybe because the religious right and the creationists doesn't want to open the flood gates for criticism of Christian dogma? ... Shouldn't we just be allow to call out bad ideas, on their merits?

  4. > And nowhere in the constitution has there ever been a specific mention of separation of church and state.... AFAIK that's how the establishment clause has been interpreted. Amongst other things because of Jeffersons assurance of a wall of separation.
