WASHINGTON -- Republican Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell of Delaware is questioning whether the U.S. Constitution prohibits the government from establishing religion.

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. Subscribe to *Tea Party On Parade*

No, it is not a state, however it is under the jurisdiction of the US government just as our military bases in foreign countries are and our embassies.

I'm not the one who wrote that. That would be sneakypete.

Bagram - According to a new report from an independent think-tank group, former detainees of an alleged secret prison in Afghanistan claim they were abused and tortured.

The United States military has repeatedly denied these accusations. Digital Journal reported in February that : Afghans claimed that the Bagram United States Air Force is President Barack Obama’s Guantanamo Bay detention center because of alleged torture,
nightly raids and the large number of health hazards.

Saying there is no separation of church and state, is like saying there is no separation of powers in the US constitution. Both are paraphrases for what the constitution says.

Any conservatives going to argue the constitution doesn't have a separation of powers?

The Constitution gives the Federal government no power over religious matters, and specifically bans establishment and bans the infringement of religious freedom.

To the critics who say there is no federal separation of church and state, where does the Constitution give the government power to influence the church? Where does it give the government the power to regulation a persons religious beliefs?

What are you going to do argue the commerce clause?

If there is separation of church and state, then the Federal governmemt should have no say so in what religion is or is not taught in local schools.

Of course, we know that is notxthe case. Idiots like Coons don't realize they are not arguing for separation; they are arguing against it.

I know you know this. But there is no separation of church and state. There is a prohibition against CONGRESS ONLY from prohibiting people from practicing their religion or from the CONGRESS from interfering with peoples free exercise of their religion. The godless liberals just like to say separation of church and state because it is easier to spin then the words in the constitution.

Of course, we know that is notxthe case. Idiots like Coons don't realize they are not arguing for separation; they are arguing against it.

The 14th amendment now forces all levels of government to follow the Bill of Rights. This means the State governments have to have a separation of church and state as well. Of course most states have a separation built into their constitution as well.

The Federal government doesn't tell the states they can't teach religion, the US Constitution does.

You are effectively arguing that the right to bears arms, means the Fed's can't tell you whether your state can tell you have guns or not have guns. That is really twisted logic.

Furthermore why do Conservatives want godless commie schools teaching their kids religion anyway?

Also how is teaching one religion in a school not infringing on your right to practice your religion? How would you like it if you had to move to Boston, MA and the teachers taught Catholic Dogma as fact, in school?

Your religious American forefathers moved to the United States to be free of government interference in their religion.

This isn't even a controversial part of American history.

Yea no shit, I was being facetious.

To messers Nehemiah Dodge, Ephraim Robbins, & Stephen S. Nelson, a committee of the Danbury Baptist association in the state of Connecticut.

Gentlemen

The affectionate sentiments of esteem and approbation which you are so good as to express towards me, on behalf of the Danbury Baptist association, give me the highest satisfaction. my duties dictate a faithful and zealous pursuit of the interests of my constituents, & in proportion as they are persuaded of my fidelity to those duties, the discharge of them becomes more and more pleasing.

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State. [Congress thus inhibited from acts respecting religion, and the Executive authorised only to execute their acts, I have refrained from prescribing even those occasional performances of devotion, practiced indeed by the Executive of another nation as the legal head of its church, but subject here, as religious exercises only to the voluntary regulations and discipline of each respective sect.] Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.

I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection & blessing of the common father and creator of man, and tender you for yourselves & your religious association assurances of my high respect & esteem.

(signed) Thomas Jefferson Jan.1.1802.
