I would just like to get clear (as succinctly as possible) what those are.
Good idea. But I'll make a side-bet with you. If you can get one specific example, as soon as someone shows that it is not an erosion the response will be yet some other alleged erosion. That is all that has happened throughout this whole thread.
I say it's a waste of time and just close it.

Re: ADMIN REQUEST
Separation of Church and State is nowhere to be found in the Contract, it is an invention of atheists who robbed a theist (Thomas Jefferson) of his words and twisted their meaning to suit their objectives
Really? it doesn't matter if the framers where theist or not what matters is that they clearly wanted a free nation NOT a Religion based one. How have we twisted words of the founding fathers?
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
This country is experiencing total betrayal by the Judicial Branch.
God-hating judges are interpreting the Constitution to say a Bible, or a Cross on public lands, or a generic prayer to be an EDORSEMENT of religion and thus a violation of Church and State.
They don't Belong in schools etc.. I am sure you don't want me teaching your Children to be Atheist. Just like many Atheist don't want you filling Kids heads with what we consider to be myths! How would you like it if the pledge said this? One nation there is no god or One nation under Buddha.
What if the money said this In Buddha we trust?
How would you feel?
See my point? We feel the Government should not tell us what to believe.
Atheism is a religion, it is against theism. It seeks to force its philosophy and morals onto a christian nation via this ridiculous changing of the contract.
I feel you are pushing your Beliefs on us more... (MUCH MORE!)
I could reference thousands of examples of Founding Fathers and government papers that are strewn with references to the Divine which proves that this current pro-atheist judicial favoring is outlawness
I would like to see this... Besides AGAIN it doesn't matter what they themselves Believed! What does matter is they clearly say this is a free country NOT a Christen country.

Apology
I have been off line for a couple of days and during the span I regret
saying that AdminNosy is not objective.
It is actually commendable that any Admin would involve themself in this highly volatile political-in-nature-debate. Admin. cannot win no matter what and I thank him for trying.
I apologize for my inaccurate accusation.
Sincerely,
Willowtree
