U.S. Supreme Court takes aim at separation of church and state

The conservative-majority U.S. Supreme Court has chipped away at the wall separating church and state in a series of new rulings, eroding American legal traditions intended to prevent government officials from promoting any particular faith.

WASHINGTON, June 28 (Reuters) - The conservative-majority U.S. Supreme Court has chipped away at the wall separating church and state in a series of new rulings, eroding American legal traditions intended to prevent government officials from promoting any particular faith.

In three decisions in the past eight weeks, the court has ruled against government officials whose policies and actions were taken to avoid violating the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment prohibition on governmental endorsement of religion - known as the "establishment clause."
The court on Monday backed a Washington state public high school football coach who was suspended by a local school district for refusing to stop leading Christian prayers with players on the field after games. read more
On June 21, it endorsed taxpayer money paying for students to attend religious schools under a Maine tuition assistance program in rural areas lacking nearby public high schools. read more
On May 2, it ruled in favor of a Christian group that sought to fly a flag emblazoned with a cross at Boston city hall under a program aimed at promoting diversity and tolerance among the city's different communities. read more

• Is seperation of church and state a real thing? YES, it is, the Establishment Clause and a famous statement from Thomas Jefferson that the Establishment Clause is the wall between Church and State.
• But then there are certain Christians who think that freedom of religion means freedom to shove your religion down other people’s throats. When it actually means freedom to practise your religion, not shoving it down other people’s throats, and for the other half, freedom from religion.

Of course that was targeted marketing. My version the coming of the Devil, and the get-rich-quick fools were all dazzled by the baubles.

Federal employees accuse USDA of illegal Christian proselytizing

The federal complaint alleged that USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins sent several emails to the agency's employees that explicitly promoted Christianity.

www.usatoday.com

A federal employees union sued the Department of Agriculture in part on First Amendment grounds May 13, accusing USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins of illegally proselytizing the agency’s workers.

The National Federation of Federal Employees, which represents more than 100,000 federal workers across various agencies, along with several individual USDA employees, accused Rollins of “(adopting) a practice of sending increasingly proselytizing communications to the entire USDA workforce, promoting her own preferred brand of Christian beliefs and theology to the captive audience of employees that report to her,” according to the complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

Not to mention chauvenist... Puts wifes on the same level as property and "servants" on the same level as cattle

That last commandment probably just started with the wife, then they had to keep adding shirt because people are people, and eventually they just decided to add "or anything else" to avoid that commandment being longer than the entire Bible by now.

Women are listed alongside servants and livestock — as property belonging to a man. Imagine being a young girl sitting in a public school classroom and reading that every day. What message does that send?

And notice they always choose the oldest, most patriarchal wording possible instead of a modern translation. That choice says a lot. It fits perfectly with a worldview that romanticizes a past where women and people considered “beneath” others were expected to stay in their “place.”

Public schools are supposed to educate children from all backgrounds — not promote one religion’s ancient social hierarchy as moral truth.

It shouldn't be in schools.

There isn't even any room for debate about that, and anyone who tried to debate it should just be ridiculed then ignored.

I hope the ones in most classrooms are covered in graffiti.

It will only increase the ridicule and mockery of Christianity in schools in the long run, so it isn't even going to do what they bible suckers hope it does.

One would guess that they used the King James Version as it seems most evangelicals are infatuated with it. Of course, the OT is a poor translation and let us not even start with the NT.

To borrow from Parke Godwin’s The Snake Oil Wars:

“…we must live with the disparity between the laws of God and those of men. Those who conceived…constitution knew in the blood as well as their minds that these laws are and must remain separate, even a contradiction. They cannot clash without ill use to both or damage to men…”

That is the kernel. To start with the laws of God were created by/for a wandering Semitic people. The purpose was to establish the group as separate from other groups basically exclusion. Who was fully human and who was somewhat less. They also did not expect other groups to follow what they believed.

The creation of this country had two unique things. The first was representative democracy on a fairly large scale. The second was no state religion. The religionists of today cannot abide by that because they do not seek to “win souls” but to wield political power.
