text: Thanks for the reply. Yes, there is no end to people who use the Bible or any other thing to gain advantage over others. They are shameful and not to be mistaken for Christians, though they sometimes say they are. True Christians are known by their fruits, meaning you will see the goodness they do in their lives. But Christians are never perfect either, so we often need forgiveness, too, like everyone else does.
  
  As for Separation of Church and State, please read my comment and links to Gladys Kravitz. The meaning of the phrase has been turned on its head. Separating anyone and their beliefs, whatever they may be, from participation in our government, all areas of society government has involved itself in (like schools), and society itself makes no sense, particularly when Christians are singled out in this separation! But I completely agree with the Establishment Clause, meaning no state establishment of religion. That, in fact, would be unChristian.
