oh thats not entirly true, they just know they are doing something somone would stop them doing in the light of day. But seriously, why does there have to be such an agressive element among christians? If they dont want to live in a nation that has separation between church and state, and will only accpet a state that obeys thier christian morals then why not negotiate for some land to start thier own durn country? This is the USA and in the USA we dont let the church set policy.
