Way to be brave as always, MK :)<br /><br />Speaking as a Jewish person who is also a proud (or ... wants to be proud ... ) American, anytime the separation of church and state is threatened I start to itch. And when someone's very credibility is called into question on the basis of "they're not Christian" or "not the RIGHT KIND of Christian" - that's not patriotism, folks. It's a small-minded, self-righteous attack, and what's more, it's irrelevant. Being Christian does not make you any more or less American. Faith can shape your personal identity, but it shouldn't dictate what rights and privileges you have. At least, not in this country. There are plenty of countries with NO separation of church and state. Do you want us to be more like one of those? (Even before you go Google 'em, let me tell you - no. No, you don't want us to be more like a religiously-ruled country.)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07800658910236777200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456242353572100712.post-60635564188818987542012-10-18T13:52:55.890-04:002012-10-18T13:52:55.890-04:00Thank you!Thank you!JustBeingMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656151165688869148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456242353572100712.post-71769574137146409082012-10-18T13:49:57.758-04:002012-10-18T13:49:57.758-04:00EXCELLENT!!!
