First off, "separation of church and state" is cited nowhere in The
Constitution, neither does "freedom from religion." In fact, First
Amendment was placed that no particular denomination would be made the
official religion of The State. But not only would a belief in God be
respected, but considered necessary and in fact, God is cited as the
primary
justification for the very existence of, and the authority of, The
State.
When The State kills off God, then it usurps it's own authority.


Absolutely, however, I think it is blatantly implied, the separation(s.)
Those who do not believe in an intelligence which created all this,
ask me to believe that you can take a handful of wood, glass, plastic,
etc. toss it into a mud-puddle, come back a few million years later and
begin digging up microwaves, cellphones, TVs', radios, etc.; And, they
laugh at me for believing a thinking mind had a hand in all this! Go
figure ...

AFAIK marriage was mostly a registration thing to start with, then it
progressed to further regulation and intervention "for the sake of the
children" as in rh factor typing, and tax credit, then on to legal
authority
in breaking up families and assigning child support and custody which
has
now become a complete Socialist joke since they have been awarding
adoption
and custody of even same sex children to gays so they can "indoctrinate"
which really means "grooming" or preparing for rape by force,
intimidation
or bamboozle. They may claim they aren't really child moles_rs, but how
can
you believe that when someone aggressively promotes "lust of the flesh"
or
"sexual gratification" as an alternative to God's way. If it were only
about LOVE there wouldn't be a discussion because in the end we would be
brothers and sisters in heaven, not Plaintiff and Defendant, Gay or
Straight, so as a people we seem to be "delivered over to a reprobate
mind"
and our government is only a reflection of that.

Yeah, a look back though history provides all sorts of weird things.
Like, the king decided who could and could not marry, had dibs on having
sex with the bride first, etc. Like I said, gov't has no place in
religious affairs--end-of-story.


The sickest argument put forth is the "Scientific" argument, that it is
only
natural. But that argument works as well for even cannibalism, since it
occurs in nature too. So what separates us from being animals?

It looks pretty natural to me. Not only that, but it is the only way to
have a stable society where there the children are well taken care of.
But, your logic evades me; Can a dog behave any other way than as a
dog? A cat? A bird? A mouse? Etc ...


The real enemy after all is the Devil. He is International and
infiltrates
anywhere he finds an empty thought.


The bible brings us stories of another race(s) which are not benign to
the human race. If these stories are true, or not, I do not know. I do
know that behind any "myth", there is always a grain of truth ...
ancient books from India, written on palm leaves bring us stories to
rival Buck Rogers, spacecraft and wars in and out of our atmosphere--I
find it strange that ancient people had such a strong affinity for
science fiction ... it actually boggles my mind; I wonder ...

However, I do not hold any to my own thoughts, or open-mind. And, we
waste a thread which follows the intent of antennas a whole lot more
than our meanderings of mind ... I must make this the end of my story.
Again, if we would agree, I would be bored ... thanks for not boring me.

Thanks, It's good to find people that acknowledge history.

Dogs have been brainwashed and bred for specifics in temperament,
appearance, behavior. Cat's seem to resist that and are bred more for
appearance. Humans are more like dogs it seems, except for the capability
to commune with God, and thus be able to raise itself by providence where
the dog just seeks to address basic needs and desires.

You need to find the movie "Idiocracy" on DVD. That will blow you away as
well as any papyrus leaf science-fiction. Some Crude humor, language and
situations resulting from an experiment in suspended animation that goes
awry. A hooker and an Army file clerk are put into suspended animation,
then lost in the shuffle until 500 years later, the Great Garbage avalanche
accidentally releases them in a future where they are the smartest people on
Earth, just in time to save the planet.
