Date: 2005-11-28 06:09 pm (UTC)First you ignore all of the attempts to stamp out Christmas by renaming Christmas trees as 'holiday trees', as well as the new prohibitions on people saying 'Merry Christmas' on pain of being fired.
Then you mis-quote a section of the Bill of Rights that you obviously do not understand. Let me guess, you failed English as a kid, right? Go look up what 'an establishment' means, it does not mean 'any establishment' it means 'an' as in 'a specific'. Also that prohibition only extends to THE CONGRESS not 'Government' (which it DOES NOT SAY, have you even read the Bill of Rights? How 'Animal Farm' of you to change it).
So if you had ever actually read the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America, you would know that The Congress, and NOT the Executive Branch, or the Judicial Branch, or any State Government, may not write any laws repecting a specific religion.
And as for the Origins of Christmas, that is not what this discussion is about, please keep your Strawmen at home. And you will never hear me scream 'church and state' because it's a strawman as well, there is no 'Separation of Church and State' anywhere in the Constitution, it is a complete legal fiction.
