"Congress shall make no laws establishing a satate religion.......etc,etc,etc
And it's not a big deal that Representative Ellison took his Oath of Office on the Koran. If anything, it just shows the diversity of the US.

I say we just vote on everything. The End. Then the majority rules, which is another idea this country was founded on.
I say you just don't interfere in anything but things that harm others. Which, is freedom. And good. The most principle value your country was founded on.
I think it'd be hilarious if the Aztecs were right and the world ends in 2012 or whenever. I'm gonna laugh so hard if that happens. If it doesn't, I'm still gonna laugh, because some people think this is a Christian nation and don't even truly understand what the founding fathers had hoped to establish since we've done such a good job of not upholding their values.
George Washington acknowledges that God protected him in battle.
"In a letter to his brother he says:
'I had four bullets through my coat, and two horses shot under me, yet I escaped unhurt, though death was leveling my companions on every side.'"
--George Washington
"...An Indian sharpshooter said he was not born to be killed by a bullet, for he had taken direct aim at him seventeen times, and failed to hit him..."

"Interesting evidence for Divine Providence in Washington's life is given in David Barton's "The Bulletproof George Washington." On July 9, 1755, Colonel George Washington was involved in a 2-hour siege during the French and Indian War. Being an officer, he was one of many special targets for the Indians. Of the eighty-six British and American officers, sixty-three were killed. Washington was the only officer on horseback not shot down."
