You won't find these words anywhere in the Bill of Right or Constitution, yet ignorant people quote them believing they're in there.

I will pay anyone $1 million USD if you find those words together in the Bill of Rights or Constitution. Ain't gonna happen.

Yet, anyone who wants to live a somewhat civilized life gets assaulted with "Derp! Separation of church and state! You can't do that!"

But, when the government shuts down churches, these same ignoramuses (look it up) are all "What? What's the big deal?"
Not those exact words. But the first amendment says that in a different way.

No not at all... your comprehension issues are not my problem. It’s pretty damn clear.

Please, for the love of God, don't make me get involved with this thread.


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

Essentially the message is “religion? We aren’t involved”...

It was used in a letter to the Danbury Baptists from Benjamin Franklin, that's all.

Open those houses of worship, and watch illness/death counts “resurrect and ascend” graphically higher than what the US has seen in this first wave of the pandemic.

Singing, loud praying, hugging, kissing, eating “bread” etc. from the same bowl and server’s hands, drinking wine from a community cup, eating and drinking after the service in an afterglow gathering in another part of the building, crying and wiping tears from eyes, shaking hands, prostrating with faces on the floor, sharing various books, handling money, handling babies and young children being cared for in the nurseries while parents attend the service, using the restrooms, touching pews, kneelers, playing musical instruments. A lot of transmission possibilities.
