Not only do they have Christine O'Donnell, but the GOP (tea party) candidate who is running for Mike Castle's old congressional seat is also somewhat of a "character" as well. What the . . . . .??? http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/09/gop-candidate-hitler-church-state/ What’s even worse is...

So I have a son (7) and two step-sons (12 and 10). My step-sons are both members of the Pentacostal church, which is an evangelical sect. Their father wants them raised Pentacostals, and my wife doesn't care, so I am happy to oblige them in their faith. I have taken them to Summer Bible camp...

Just about all the JREF Forum "natives" I can think of are strong advocates of separation between church and state. It's an important subject which affects many Americans, with the potential to affect many more. Of course I invite discussion here of other candidates and their own stance on this...

Source :yahoo Though, as this is the Democrats we're talking about, this may not be too surprizing. But it is still good to hear. Now if we could only convince Ron Paul that there is a separation of Church and State...

Well, not technically, but, in effect, that is what is going on. The state of Indiana has a new, optional license plate with a big, "In God We Trust" plastered on it. OK, not a problem, right? I mean, the state of Indiana has lots of specialized license plates. In addition to vanity plates...

Yes, according to an audio tape of Dr. James Kennedy of Ft. Lauderdale Florida, Thomas Jefferson was a Bible Scholar who read the Bible daily. Jefferson read the Bible in English, Greek, Latin, and French. Jefferson also contributed his own money to 10 different churches in the 8 years he was...

Besides the Consitutional issues involving the separation of church and state, I feel this phrase in the American Pledge of Allegiance has become dated after the fall of Communism and the 9/11 attacks. Soviet Atheism is no longer the nation's enemy but Islamic theocratic extremists are.
