Reply #73: They come close. You're right that it's "not what they're about."

You do not need to explain all this stuff to me, especially since I rather succinctly already said it.

My ire arises out of many DU arguments where atheist assure me they lack belief in order to win the discussion and then their statements are shown by this poster to be nothing but a pack of lies.

A1: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

You and I disagree on your last point. I say the A1 denotes liberty to do and that liberty to do creates a wall of separation by protecting that freedom.
You say it is separation that allows liberty to exist.

No, it is A1 that allows religious liberty to exist, the resulting wall of separation is gravy, good gravy. For example: A1 allows FFRF to post the poster. If there was truly a wall of separation developed, the two postings would not be placed in a confrontational manner. Instead, each belief system would respect each others free exercise with a thicker wall of separation.

EDIT: HIT POST BY ACCIDENT.
