This is one of the finest pieces I have read on the separation of church and state. I would place this in a list of important reading, a list that would include Harry Emerson Fosdick's well-known sermon, "Shall the Fundamentalists Win?" He stated in the late 1920s that he believed Fundamentalists had been put to rest, their arguments had been shown to be without merit and that the world had rejected them. I guess we all should be careful in prophesying about the yet unseen. Again, thank you.
Remarkable how one person’s villainy can leave a disastrous legacy that will continue to disrupt our national tranquility through packing the courts with ultra conservatives, inciting right wing terrorists, and holding Republicans in congress in thrall.
We want to place blame on Trump, Mitch McConnell, Manchin, Sinema, and the six black-robed (less than Supreme) judges for what we are experiencing in terms of hostility, crack-pot rulings, and legislative impasses.
But I believe it’s too many of them who voted for it.
Hopefully, the economy will rebound before the midterms along with lower gas prices and deflation so a bit of a balance might be restored. As for the Supreme Court, I’m afraid the harm is generational.
I’m moved by these powerful words on the subject: “We do not want to be delivered into the hands of disguised missionaries in the persons of (school) principals who smuggle in sectarian prayers and hymns in our public schools.” 1875. Cited early in “The Power Broker” by Robert Caro. What a priceless piece of history and human behavior!
