I still think separtation of church and state is udder bs. I think that each religion should have a say in governmenatl operation. Religion and faith is how people keep faith. I would enjoy hearing what a Buddhist monk had to say about his view of the governments operation, or a Muslim's, or a Catholics, or Baptist, or a Rabbi, or Al-Jihad preacher. Any religion is welcom in this country, I just dont there should be a separation. Separtaion implies no effect on something else. Well, sorry to break it to you, but Religion does affect our lives as much as the government. Maybe they should work together for the better of the world. Possibly a council of Religious elders from all over the world conveigning like the UN. Would that be so bad. Maybe we'd even be able to solve that whole Palestine/Jerusalem thing in the process. It sounds good to. But I am open to suggestions...

The problem with allowing church to decide what happens to the state is you get religious biases, which impedes on freedom(s), no matter what.

you know what, that is true. Thank you, that is the most sense I've heard this whole argument. Maybe it's because you actually gave a viable reason, not just "well, we should just separate church and state because some dead guys wrote somthing we may have, but probably haven't, misstranslated." If we did, as I know remeber, we would turn out like the Roman/Byzantine Empire. Slowly dying out....

On a side note, I have declared CNN to be the worst news source ever. I mean, who actually cares about some stupid "missing women" in Utah? Print real news CNN, not idiotic human interest stories.

Utah has a habit of getting lots of publicity over missing persons cases. Elizabeth Smart, anyone?

In other news, a strange teenager disappeared in Utah today. The only details released were that his name was "Chase" and he was an eccentric weirdo.
