In a debate at Widener University Law School, O'Donnell criticized Democratic nominee Chris Coons' position that teaching creationism in public school would violate the First Amendment by promoting religious doctrine. O'Donnell asked where the Constitution calls for the separation of church and state. When Coons responded that the First Amendment bars Congress from making laws respecting the establishment of religion, O'Donnell asked: "You're telling me that's in the First Amendment?" Delaware Senate The exchange Tuesday aired on radio station WDEL generated a buzz among law professors and students in the audience.

To: Brian S (#0) (Edited) Both the left and right are completely out to lunch on this. The framers in general were deeply religious men who believed that divine providence guided their efforts and that American was destined to be a beacon of light to the world. The framers were also deeply suspicious of government sanctioned regions like the Church of England. The framers were right. America is one of the most religious countries on earth precisely because we don't have a state sanctioned religion. Look what has happened in Europe, where many countries have official churches. Religious belief and active participation is well below ours in almost every country (Ireland and Italy may be exceptions). I've never been a regular church goer, but I have attended Baptist (in elementary school), Lutheran (in junior high school), Pentecostal (in the Air Force), Greek Orthodox (first wife), and Catholic (second wife) churches. I have relatives who go to non-denominational protestant churches and other relatives who are Jehovah's Witnesses. I have friends who are Mormon, Atheist, Agnostic, Hindu, and Jewish. The only group that really seems to be a threat to the American way are the militant atheists who feel they need to force their beliefs on others by coercing government to bash religion, and especially Christianity, at every opportunity. Unfortunately, some evangelical Christians respond to the militants in the wrong way. Like everything else, the fight becomes who can control government to force their beliefs on the rest of us -- militant atheists versus bible thumpers. The real fight has to be between anyone who wants the government involved in promoting or bashing versus those of us who want the government to keep their nose out of our business. jwpegler  posted on  2010-10-19   12:28:36 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #16.

I disagree. Partly because the militant atheists are such a small minority they will never get anybody to pay much attention to them. Mostly I disagree because the Muslims OWN that territory. They are a bigger threat than we have ever faced. sneakypete  posted on  2010-10-19   13:06:08 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #23. To: sneakypete (#16) (Edited) Mostly I disagree because the Muslims OWN that territory. They are a bigger threat than we have ever faced. Two points: A.) Sure, extremist Muslims are a threat to the entire world from the Middle East to Southern Russia to Western China to the Philippines, but not so much domestically. Right now, our domestic threats come from Muslims outside the country, not Muslims who are U.S. citizens. B.) Yes, if Muslims in general ever become a significant portion of our population, their basic belief system would indeed be a threat to the classical liberal beliefs enshrined in the Constitution. Is that likely to occur? Probably not. In my view, the U.S. Congress and the Obama Administration are the biggest the biggest threats to the country, with their Marxist professors and "structural feminist" bullshit. All of who comprise the radical atheists that I spoke of. jwpegler  posted on  2010-10-19   17:03:58 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #26.

True so far,but we keep allowing fundie Muslims to immigrate to the US as political refugees,and that spells nothing but trouble for us in the future. As for acting president Soetoro,he is no bigger threat than Clinton or either Bush was. Probably even less of a threat because he is so totally arrogant and incompetent. sneakypete  posted on  2010-10-19   18:53:01 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #27.
