Here is an interesting philosophy. I've always liked this: The Nine Principles of the Goddess 1. I acknowledge that there is one Goddess in essence, Creatrix of all existences; Her forms are infinite, She manifests Herself in our love, and we are all Her lovers. 2. Treat all beings with reciprocity, for the Goddess lives in them as well as in us. 3. Tolerate other religions and do not compel others to join the circle of the Goddess: the Goddess will draw those to Her who are ready and hear Her call. 4. Worship Her by restoring balance to Her planet. 5. Eat mostly grains, vegetables and fruits, so that there will be enough food for all; when you eat thank the Goddess, the provider of all energy. It is not forbidden to eat animal flesh in moderation, but when you do so you must thank the animal that you eat as well. 6. In the circle of the Goddess create consensus while respecting diversity of opinion. On the path of the Goddess there are many paths. 7. In your home create a sacred space for the Goddess to please Her. Meditate on the Goddess three times a day, at rising, at noon and at sundown. 8. Sexuality is Her sacrament; enjoy this gift and bless those who you share it with love and affection. Remember that overcoming jealousy is the cause of cessation of the cycle of rebirth. 9. Announce the religion of the Goddess to the world through good works, honest words and selfless acts of beauty and love.

The first amendment "religion part" only applies to THE CONGRESS, not the states. Several states had STATE RELIGIONS THAT WERE CHRISTIAN. The founding fathers would have burnt you at the stake. They knew a witch when they saw one.
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
There are no states with designated state religions. There may have been in the first intial confusion, or in the two years prior to the Bill of Rights, but certainly not after things got sorted out. The religious zealots spent over one hundred years trying to pass an amendment making the US a Christian country. They failed and gave up shortly after the civil war.
The majority of the founding fathers were Masonic adherents. George Washington, Jefferson, and many more. They use the same symmbols and hold to the philosophy of the Enlightenment the same way the Wiccans do. Note the pentagram in the streets of DC and the Wiccan symbols on the dollar bill. The founding fathers saw that it would be necessary to keep your kind at bay and they crafted the First Amendment to do so.
The religious zealots spent over one hundred years trying to pass an amendment making the US a Christian country. They failed and gave up shortly after the civil war. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; sorted out, what the fuck you talking about? There it is plain as day. CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW... That doesn't stop a GOVERNOR or STATE LEGISLATOR from making a state religion. The United States was a "christian nation" meaning the people were almost all christians. The christians are the ones who to a great degree made this country what it was. It was only after the government took prayer out of school and other such satanist stuff that our country went down the tubes. It is satanists like yourself that are the problem. Bush is a satanist too.

You are correct about the masons, i dont know about jefferson. Your also right about the streets in DC.

There is no state that has an officially designated religion. Likewise, the Federal Government has no designated or preferred state religion. This is in accordance with the First Amendment. A governor of a state can't toss out the First Amendments. All of the Amendments were made applicable to the states in about 1920. I forget the precise case, but it was a Fourth Amendment matter. Given this, a state cannot designate a state religion.

IT SAYS CONGRESS FOR THE 10TH TIME. WHAT DOES IT SAY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS JURISTDICTION IS....10 SQUARE MILES AND FEDERAL AREAS LIKE MILITARY BASES. SO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CANT IMPOSE A STATE RELIGION ON US.....THE STATES ARE FREE TO DO SO. IT IS NOT THAT COMPLICATED....EVEN A THIRD GRADER CAN UNDERSTAND IT....WHATS YOUR PROBLEM?

Use google to view the symbology for Job's Daughters and then compare that to the Wiccan Symbology. I think the results will startle you. If you want more, see if you can find some of the oaths for the Job's Daughters and compare them to what is above.
I could care less if a bunch of satanist wiccans copied something christian. WICCANS ARE SATANISTS AND WILL BURN IN HELL!!! UNLESS THEY REPENT AND ACCEPT THE LIVING SON OF GOD JESUS CHRIST.

Look at the symbols and decide what got copied and what didn't. Besides, you don't know what happens after death. You only have an opinion - one that was probably formed for you by your parents.
First amendment says CONGRESS. CONGRESS CONGRESS CONGRESS. II DOESNT SAY STATES CANT MAKE STATE RELIGIONS. IT SAYS CONGRESS FOR THE 10TH TIME. You are dead wrong. Absolutely, 100% dead wrong. Use google on read up on these things before pontificating. Here is the quote from the relevant case: "....when the right of local authorities to provide free transportation for children attending parochial schools reached the Court, it adopted very restrictive language. ''The 'establishment of religion' clause of the First Amendment means at least this: Neither a STATE nor the Federal Government can set up a church. Neither can pass laws which aid one religion, aid all religions, or prefer one religion over another. NEITHER can force nor influence a person to go to or to remain away from church against his will or force him to profess a belief or disbelief in any religion. No person can be punished for entertaining or professing religious beliefs or disbeliefs, for church attendance or non-attendance. No tax in any amount, large or small, can be levied to support any religious activities or institutions, whatever they may be called, or whatever form they may adopt to teach or practice religion. Neither a STATE nor the Federal Government can, openly or secretly, participate in the affairs of any religious organizations or groups and vice versa. In the words of Jefferson, the clause against establishment of religion by law was intended to erect 'a wall of separation between church and State.' 98 U.S. 145, 164 (1879).
a christian: one who expects tolerance for their beliefs, while at the same time advocating intolerance for any belief other than their own. being a genius is easy.....its the morons that drag you down. its lonely at the top, but crowded as hell at the bottom.

Show me in the consittution where a court case trumps the constitution. SHow me in the consittution where it says anything about courts setting precedents ant that becomes the law. You have sided with the usurpers. Do you even know what that means. Quote from the constitution (the supreme law of the land) not some corrupt judicial decision. Laws that conflict with the constitution are not laws at all (even if a "judge" says they are) and are not to be obeyed.
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
sorted out, what the fuck you talking about? There it is plain as day. CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW... That doesn't stop a GOVERNOR or STATE LEGISLATOR from making a state religion." Federal law supersedes state law. State law supersedes local law. You miss this important element that helps make STARE DECISIS, or case law work. No state may have a religion because the Federal government is not allowed to have an official religion. The U.S. Constitution is there to protect smaller groups from the whims and caprice of larger groups. And we adopted the Constitution because the Article of Confederation - the way government was organized prior to the adoption of the Constitution - gave too much leeway to the several states, and was proving unworkable.
Go back and read the 10th amendment. THe feds only have the power given to them by the STATES. The states created the federal govt. The federal government is usurping powers it doesn't legitimately have. You support the federal takeover?

You really sucked down that propaganda from the government school didn't you.
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
Facts are hard to deal with are they? Your problem, not mine. You are unable to refute my post; because I am correct.
What is superior the consittution or a court decision that conflicts with the constitution. Which one is really the law. First amendment only procludes CONGRESS from making state religions. Learn your history at the time there were several states with state religions. This country was created so we could be free to worship God without interferance from the government. The system you advocate is more like the USSR or CHINA. You have proved nothing.
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
Congress also cant stop the free exercise of religion. As in when the states have state religions.
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
Constitution in particular is capitalized and you also mis-spell it by the way. You also do not use correct punctuation. You need question marks to indicate interrogatory. You need to understand history and the government of the United States far better then you do as you look like you are brandishing a knife at a gunfight here. Most concerns of the state courts involve federal statutory preemption of state and local authority. Preemption refers to the authority of the Congress under the supremacy clause of the U.S. Constitution to enact statutes that displace or replace state and local laws and powers. States cannot pick on smaller religions by giving authority of one larger religion over them. States are not allowed to become Theocracies here. It gets no more simpler then that. With all due respect, you are embarrassing yourself horribly here.
Spreading the Christian love around pretty thick, I see. I don't think that typing words like *witch*, *you're going to burn in hell* or *you would be burned at the stake* is any way to demonstrate the love of Christ or win souls, hearts or minds, but perhaps that is just me. I am off to church - have a happy Sunday, one and all.
Im on my laptop. The keys arent placed as well as desktop. forgive me.

THE FEDS ONLY HAVE POWER THAT WAS GIVEN TO THEM BY THE STATES. READ CAREFULLY AS WORDS HAVE MEANINGS. CONGRESS HAS A SET OF POWERS GIVEN TO THEM BY THE STATES. CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW......DOESN'T MEAN STATES CAN'T. CONGRESS AND THE FEDERAL LAWS ARE ONLY FOR DC. YOU KNOW THE 1O SQUARE MILE WHERE THEY HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION. THE ONLY OTHER PLACE THE FEDERAL LAWS ARE VALID IS ON MILITARY BASES, AND POST OFFICES. THE REST IS FOR THE STATES TO DECIDE. I'VE DECIDED YOU HAVE SIDED WITH THE USURPERS.

An official religion has a chilling effect on the rights and freedom of worship - or not believe in religion - therefore no religion is given an official role in government. Government is supposed to stay clear of playing favorites. Having a state religion would open up anyone not of that religion to oppression and open discrimination because they were not of the religion tied to the government. Government is supposed to keep larger groups from picking on smaller groups. That is why no religion is official; as nothing would protect anyone not of it from the toxic and hostile whims and caprice of those of the religion with a governmental mantle of authority pervading it.
Sure. Use google and find a case called Marbury vs. Madison. This will explain it to you. I don't have time to explain high school civics here. As I said above, the reality is that the states don't have the power to establish a state religion. As someone already noted on this thread, this was done to protect the population from people like you. Your argument here is that you don't like it and that you wish the situation was different. When you finish with this argument, the states still do not have the power to establish a state religion.
So instead of allowing Him to do as He said He would, you have decided to do it for Him? So tell me, how many souls have you won for our Lord with your tactics?
Don't yell at me with capital letters. Keep it civil. Making wrong statements louder simply does not make them right.
Yes the first usurption. Just because it happened long ago and set a precedent doesn't mean it is the law. Get back to the root. The constitution. If a law conflicts with it, no matter what some guy in a robe( who isn't really a citizen according to THE REAL 13th AMENDMENT) tells you. Use your own mind...the words have meaning. Dont let some judge steal your rights. FUCK THE GOVERNMENT

Stone, did you ever consider founding a "Hate for Jesus" ministry? You and all the other hate filled, bigoted religions kooks could sit around and tell each other how God wanted you to torure heritics. It would be a big hit in fundie circles.
So tell me, how many souls have you won for our Lord with your tactics? God said to preach the whole word...not some sugar coating of the word like saying the garden of eden is fiction. Guess what Hell and witches are in the Bible. Guess what God said they are going to hell. If you want to help someone you would inform them of it instead of letting them go to the dark side. Take a stand. Jesus said those who were luke warm would be spit out of his mouth. Me im red hot.

This guy is too much. He is assuming that the Constitution was adopted to make worse the problems maintaining the political and social cohesion of this nation the Articles of Confederation were causing in the several states. I doubt of he has the tools to understand how case law - Stare Decisis - works; never mind understand the decision you cite - Marbury vs. Madison - and why it is a cornerstone decision of the U.S. Supreme Court. Nice try though.
You are such an ass. Show me in the constitution where it says law is determined by who has the best lawyer and how some case comes out. NOW COME ON THAT IS ASSININE.
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
So you think case law trumps the constitution. Of commie.
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it - Thomas Jefferson
You can be red hot AND dead wrong at the same time - but I think deep down you know this. How many souls have you won for Christ?
On this thread you seemed to delight in someone being burned at the stake. I would have to comb through threads for other instances and I don't want to waste my time doing that. But how can you be a rapture monkey and not want to hurt those who don't agree with your silly, narrow view? Doesn't this come with the territory? How does the Taliban handle disagreement? How would your theocracy handle it? How did Cotton Mather handle it?
