ANTI-SERMON #1780

We all know, or should know, that our constitution says nothing about the separation of church and state. It does mention a prohibition against the establishment of a religion.
So what would an establishment of religion look like?
Would we have all government assemblies pray before conducting business?
Would we have people swear on a religious book before testifying in court?
Would we exempt all church property from taxes?
Would we exempt some hospitals from offering abortion procedures and other stores from selling contraceptives on religious grounds?
Would we post the tenets in courthouses?
Would we teach ridiculus Bronze Age beliefs of creation in our "science" classes?
Would be prohibit atheists from holding office?

Well, I have some bad news for you.

Now let's take a look at the lighter side of religion...

Praying for rain works every time...if you pray long enough...

This is actually pretty much dead on...

 Yes...really.

Actually, this is kind of sad...

You realize there is far, far more evidence of aliens than there is for Jesus...

AND THEN THERE'S THIS...

This is a comment left on my blog referring to god pick's your government...or something like that....

"Everyone must submit to governing authorities, for those in positions of authority have been placed there by God." 

This is true. Case in point: Obama is God's judgment against America. And although all authorities are placed by God, not all authorities acknowledge that debt and start doing whatever the heck they want, whether it pleases God or not. In that case, we must do what Peter and the other apostles did:

The apostles were brought in and made to appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the high priest.

"We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name," he said. "Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man's blood."

Peter and the other apostles replied: "We must obey God rather than man!" (Acts 5:27-28)

You can't put all the evil that men do down to God. Another case in point, military chaplains have been ordered not to give mass. They should give mass, and often. They must obey God . . . etc. And if an authority (say, Obama), breaks the law (which he has), then they should face the judgment of the people, just like anyone else caught in a trespass.

( I just can't imagining a man like that visiting a blog like this - RH )
