And hopefully within the next couple minutes everyone will realize that in a free country only people who kill thier babies and dick dudes in the *** have to live with themselves.

Meanwhile, leave me and my whiteboy lifestyle alone.

The word god is not in the constitution, neither is the word creator, you are confusing this with the declaration of independence which was based on the writings of john locke, Thomas jefferson was more of a deist thats why is says "the laws of nature and of natures god", not jesus christ our saviour or some ----, he even went so far as to rewrite the gospels and take out all the superstitious nonsense, google the "jefferson bible".

Anyway like stealthmode said most of the people at the constitutional convention were federalists and felt that the government did not have the authority to institute a national religion and such things should be left up to the states, i don;t know where you got the analogy for the bible study in public schools, back then schools were managed by the local towns and there was no public school system, but the bill of rights is pretty clear in the first amendment where it says " congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion".

Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity.
