And "the recent years" of our moral decay??? While I agree that you can point to several things that aren't as they should be - would you rather go back to those more 'godly' times of slavery, treating women like chattel, tribal warfare, etc? And I grant you that this is my personal hot button, but to claim that the moral decay of the country is due to having 'God' expelled from public schools while the Catholic Church was out raping children shows a certain blindness.

Read what I wrote - God belongs in the home and the Church. I recall a certain passage regarding the opinion Jesus had of people who had to shout their faith from everywhere and make it known to everyone.

Majority rules? If that were true, blacks would still be in the back of the bus and drinking from "colored" fountains and being arrested at "whites only" places!

Even the founding fathers spoke of the "tyranny of the majority".

That being said, we DO seem to be going a little overboard in what the word "accomodate" means when it comes to the government.
