The Inevitability of Inseparability: Church and State from EagleForum.org

Text of article replaced by link. --JoeClone, 1-Mar-04.

Remember the quote from Zell Miller on the Floor of the Senate ""Everyone today seems to think that the U.S. Constitution expressly provides for separation of church and state. Ask any ten people if that's not so. And I'll bet you most of them will say 'Well, sure.' And some will point out, 'it's in the First Amendment.'

"Wrong! Read it! It says, 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.' Where is the word 'separate'? Where are the words 'church' or 'state.'
