At some point I'm going to post something more substantial to one of these threads on sep of church and state, but for now I'd like to say that in terms of my feelings about the Texas GOP trying to proclaim themselves high and mighty and in touch with JEE-sus - I don't give a flying fliggedy what any of the Founding Fathers had to say about separation of Church and State, or would say now. Not on a personal level. The fact of the matter is that I was naieve enough when I was growing up to believe that Americans saw themselves as the "melting pot" of culture, where people could come and be included. I suppose if the GOP wants to become the Christian Party for the Advent of Jesus as President, I don't really care - but it's just another reason that I wouldn't consider voting for a GOP candidate. I would almost prefer they make this statement outright, so I can point them out to friends and family. My problem isn't so much with these people, whom I would consider distasteful to say the least, but with the fact that they get elected.
