Atheism/your ignorance

Advertisement


Question
How can you be so ignorant of America and the rest of history?

By the way, the Soviet Constitution, from which Separation of Church and State comes, was written in 1936.  1947 was when Hugo Black imposed that bit of Soviet law on Americans in the Eversman case.

By the way, if you actually READ Locke, you'd find he was a Fundamentalist Christian who justified every point he made with Scripture.

Answer
"How can you be so ignorant of America and the rest of history?"

Care to specify?

"By the way, the Soviet Constitution, from which Separation of Church and State comes, was written in 1936.  1947 was when Hugo Black imposed that bit of Soviet law on Americans in the Eversman case."

This isn't true. The earliest reference to separating church and state is from 1644 - by a Christian.

Speaking of ignorance, the case is "Everson," not "Eversman."

"By the way, if you actually READ Locke, you'd find he was a Fundamentalist Christian who justified every point he made with Scripture."

I have read Locke, and what you say is irrelevant to anything to do with American government.
