@spendius,
Quote:Separation of church and state is a simplistic banality with no basis in reality. The attire, demeanour, manners and language of all the teachers are screened by selection boards to make sure they are Christian.
Whenever you fail at comprehension, your immediate response is to try to ridicule, which, as it is, makes your position even more stupid.
Separation of a "State religion" from the governments activity has been patterned and tried in many countries , to much success.
HAving tthe "monarch" as the titular head of a state religion to which the strictures are that this MOnarch or its larvae cannot ever marry a CAtholic, Jew or other "Minor sect" sounds like some hillbilly doctrine based on teeny mindedness and nostalgia over lost empire.
It takes constant vigilence with a government based upon separation of church and state. Such vigilence is self correcting and constantly being refreshed. It takes a national commitment to true equality and, while we are certainly far from that goal, we are much closer to its realization than say the little community of the UK , which still dwells in some fantasy of former glories.
You may note that the religious fervor that occupies the teeny minded Conservatives of the US is to condemn and get all pumped up aginst Muslim nations that practice the Sharia law which encumbers the political with the religious. YET our own Glenn Becks dont recognize that the opposite concept of Ahmadiyya, which is the Muslim view of separation of religion and state is already doing quite well and is in operation in several Muslim states like Turkey or Jordan.
It does take more work to have a state where religion isnt the prime mover of law and the legal system. It does take more work , vigilence and commitment. YEt its far more satisfying as the nation gets older.
The last sentence of your post doesnt make any sense at all and is patently false. I wish you would spend as much time reading as you do in composing your verbal masturbatoria. Maybe you wouldnt sound like such a world ignorant retard when it comes to the TOPIC at hand.
As Tico so wisely stated , you have a talent for randomly stringing words together and then displaying them as if you expect us to believe that they make sense
