2. Not in the Constitution, but...
Edited on Sun Nov-14-04 11:34 PM by Pig_Latin_Lover
The separation of church and state has never been a part of the Constitution.

Jesus did happen to say, “Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s.” Jesus was the one that separated Christianity from any state.

Anyone who truly understands Jesus should understand that belief in him transcends any state of any nation, and that it is up to the individual to establish his or her own personal relationship to God. It is not for the state to establish.

Jesus laid down no laws for people that could be enforced on this earth, only after death. Bush, and those that claim God is on his side, have broken quite a few of those laws. :)
