In reply to the discussion: NOTICE: I do not pray! [View all]Rex
(65,616 posts)111. I was wondering if it was kept about for traditional purposes.
I see a lot of these recent threads about Church and State and also see the conflict with traditional methods and values, being confused with the separation. If it is hypocritical, than every piece of currency we have in our wallet is unconstitutional and therefore in default...so that means everyone should send me their worthless currency. To keep with moral standings in their community etc..!
I promise not to buy a riding lawnmower with the now worthless paper!

So if Warren only wanted them to continue to be second-class citizens, that would be OK? (nt)
