One last post for during Blog Against Theocracy weekend. There’s another malformed one, still taking shape in Your Montag’s addled brain, for some time in the future.

Thomas Jefferson:

I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature would “make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.

Bob Ellis:

The “wall of separation between church and state” to which Jefferson referred is intended to keep the state from subjugating religion, not to keep faith from having any influence or dialogue in public policy.

Your Humble Montag:

1. The wall separates Church and State. “Faith” is not the same as “Church.”
2. Jefferson wrote “wall” not “one way door.”
3. We should consider building a wall of separation between “People of Faith Who Refuse to Objectively Accept the Findings of Sound Scientific Processes” and “Our Vote.”
