Time to Really Separate Church and State!
Did the Constitution fully separate the church from the state? I submit that America embodies a legal fallacy that denies a true separation of church and state. If an elected official believes in a god, and that God is the ultimate guide in one’s life and persuades the individual while conducting public business, does that not infect our democratic process with religious thought? It most definitely does and why we have elected representatives fighting against gay rights, science, global warming, and secretly oppose the long-term reality of Earth remaining in a good standing order, because their God is out to destroy the world through an Armageddon scenario.
Can one see the bigger problem? Should America allow humans into the democratic process who fantasize that God’s final purpose is to destroy Earth during a superior battle with Satan? And should that type of human be placed in charge of atomic buttons and launch codes? Humans love to lie and we tend to keep things hidden. You know what else we do?
We pull from Freud’s unconscious mind and not all of that is positive behavior. The hidden agenda of helping God destroy the world just might surface at entirely the wrong time by a commander-in-chief disturbed by religious grandeur. We should go one step further; religious humans with bizarre beliefs should not be part of a presidential cabinet as an influence to war in general. A massive Armageddon war in their eyes would only prove their God is real, and proving their God real, has been an in-disposable theme within themselves and to others. American religious fervor simply does not have the gallantry to yell God is Great! – in a psycho type of manner. But trust me, that theme is there and remains a major component in all God-based thought. It merely lays dormant inside America because most of our culture now accepts science-based thought.
Our advanced society has muffled that annunciation through the wonderful science programming on cable networks and costly higher education. This virtually provides the clue on how to properly address the religious fervor in the Middle East through education. But here at home, this is not the time to let things run their course. We can improve education by updating the medical knowledge of delusional disorders, to cover all bizarre thought that contradicts the external reality in which scientific fact correctly interprets. What a nice clinical way of saying, our communities must start teaching that religious wiring in the head is a delusional thought system that harms reality.
Mental healthcare currently defines delusional disorder in the Diagnostic Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM IV TR): Delusional disorder is an illness characterized by the presence of non bizarre delusions in the absence of other mood or psychotic symptoms. It defines delusions as false beliefs based on incorrect inference about external reality that persist despite the evidence to the contrary and these beliefs are not ordinarily accepted by other members of the person’s culture or subculture.
Here is where mental healthcare has made a severe mistake. A delusion is a delusion, and it does not become a non disordered thought because many people believe it and make it a culture. A delusion actually becomes more dangerous by stating that if a delusion is held by many, then it is considered normal. This is a subjective miscalculation representing a lack of scientific fact concerning external reality, that is not integrated into the final analysis of a belief system, due to the popularity of usage, and thus, bizarre religious belief is normal.
Let me make this really clear: In this day and age, it is not normal to believe that Earth was created in six days. It is not normal to believe that Earth is 6000-years-old. These are delusions and they do not become real, regardless if many people believe them. Humans who believe these concepts have serious issues with reality. And the unnerving aspect, many who have twisted reality are involved in the operation of our country. See the problem?
To prevent harm to reality, America certainly would not elect a president or congressmen who thought space aliens fathered our species and will return in the future to carry some or all of us away. How is that any different from humans believing that a god through rapture, will magically suck them up into heaven, just because they’ve asked for forgiveness over the minor occurrences of life and their original sin of birth? Obviously, we would never allow someone to lead our country that required mental healthcare to escape his/her alien heritage, but we certainly look the other way and grant a pass to the delusions of religious humans.
If Washington, D.C. was filled with only humans awaiting a space ship to whisk us away, pork-belly projects would be building massive landing stripes for their arrival. If Washington, D.C. was filled with only born-again Christians running the nation, they’d all be working with their God to make sure the end of times a reality. Instant heaven would be very alluring, when the delusion begins to muse those dreamy gold bricks lacing the streets from here to eternity.
For American democracy to finally break the church from the state, humans seeking public office must be vetted by proper questioning. It would be fair for the hosting media outlet conducting a presidential debate to ask the following questions. The answers are pertinent to the overall sanity of an individual. This is how we filter some of the negative energy harming American democracy. The questions expose the more dangerous born-again faction of Christianity that harbor multiple issues with reality, and will highlight the moderate Catholics who have a foot in reality.
The list of proper questions to ask if America wants to find intelligent leaders:
Do you believe Earth was created in six days?
Do you believe Earth is only 6000-years-old?
Do you believe a snake actually talked to Eve?
Do you believe that God once flooded the entire world?
Do you believe a man built an ark that saved every living creature from this massive flood, and that is how life continued?
Do you believe that God will destroy the world twice, through an Armageddon scenario?
Do you believe in Rapture?
Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ?
How does your God communicate these concepts to you?
During the past year of 2015, or in previous years, has your God told you these things directly?
The follow up to the last questions concerning communication:
So, you believe the ancient texts written by primitive man over modern science, and more important, over man’s ability to evolve into a higher state of intelligence? Wouldn’t that make you a reflection of a human incapable of evolving higher intelligence, simply by dismissing man’s ability to learn? And if that is your true nature, an inability to learn what more intelligent men have discovered; how could that possibly qualify you to be President, when the President will need science and all the new ideas that the human race has recently learned?
Any answers of yes to the above questions, is proof that we do not want these humans involved in the running of our country – AT ALL! America cannot afford leaders who have learning disabilities from delusional thought that block the very basics of commonsense science. They will not bring anything worthy to the table and eventually default to the utterance of primitive thought that befuddles most issues.
The final truth: Primitive thought cannot heal the conditions on Earth. It will require scientific thought with real and non delusional answers to revamp our planet. Only the humans who believe in the power of science must win office during this critical stage to save Earth. This would drastically cut the delusional humans from politics who harm reality. The crazies may run for office, but now we can ask the right questions to vet them.
Oh what the hell, let’s go here to:
Please you smart aliens up there in space light years away, I implore you to stop for a visit and share your million-year heritage and save us from ourselves, just don’t eat us. The human species holds a better chance of this happening than the biblical version of the second coming of Christ. Empirical evidence from Hubble is hard to swallow for many, and it shouldn’t be. What the current revelation from the sky of truth actually reveals, is that the education system is not superior or more persuasive than the church’s presentation of dogma, and too many humans still suffer their severe lessons. If education and mental healthcare were doing a better job, none of the silly ideas within religion would exist.
To cover the other bizarre belief of a wicked Satan that causes a factitious God to enter Earth for an almighty end, the universe is naturally destructive and this nature is the real flip of a switch garbage disposer to all life. Those poor dinosaurs, they never saw that comet coming, but we can! That is how intelligent life has become on planet Earth, well; at least some of us believe the scientific proof of how life can end.
The religious infection to American democracy is very adamant about not caring for science. It’s a good time for all Americans to start paying attention to what the scientists are proving today. And by removing the church people from the state, many more will hear the modern message a lot clearer.
Our Constitution makes no mention whatever of God. The omission was too obvious to have been anything but deliberate, in spite of Alexander Hamilton’s flippant responses when asked about it: According to one account, he said that the new nation was not in need of “foreign aid”; according to another, he simply said “we forgot.” But as Hamilton’s biographer Ron Chernow points out, Hamilton never forgot anything important.
In the eighty-five essays that make up The Federalist, God is mentioned only twice (both times by Madison, who uses the word, as Gore Vidal has remarked, in the “only Heaven knows” sense). In the Declaration of Independence, He gets two brief nods: a reference to “the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God,” and the famous line about men being “endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.” More blatant official references to a deity date from long after the founding period: “In God We Trust” did not appear on our coinage until the Civil War, and “under God” was introduced into the Pledge of Allegiance during the McCarthy hysteria in 1954 [see Elisabeth Sifton, “The Battle Over the Pledge,” April 5, 2004].
In 1797 our government concluded a “Treaty of Peace and Friendship between the United States of America and the Bey and Subjects of Tripoli, or Barbary,” now known simply as the Treaty of Tripoli. Article 11 of the treaty contains these words:
“As the Government of the United States…is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion–as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity of Musselmen–and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.”
This document was endorsed by Secretary of State Timothy Pickering and President John Adams. It was then sent to the Senate for ratification; the vote was unanimous. It is worth pointing out that although this was the 339th time a recorded vote had been required by the Senate, it was only the third unanimous vote in the Senate’s history. There is no record of debate or dissent. The text of the treaty was printed in full in the Philadelphia Gazetteand in two New York papers, but there were no screams of outrage, as one might expect today.
The Founding Fathers were not religious men, and they fought hard to erect, in Thomas Jefferson’s words, “a wall of separation between church and state.” John Adams opined that if they were not restrained by legal measures, Puritans–the fundamentalists of their day–would “whip and crop, and pillory and roast.” The historical epoch had afforded these men ample opportunity to observe the corruption to which established priesthoods were liable, as well as “the impious presumption of legislators and rulers,” as Jefferson wrote, “civil as well as ecclesiastical, who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world and through all time.”

Our Godless Constitution
The faith of our founding fathers defiantly wasn’t Christianity

Very Nice Corey, and highly accurate. It’s good to see that not everyone is tainted with incorrect history.
Wonderful post. I really happy after reading this post. New information shared in this post. I like it. Thank you for sharing. Please keep updating!!!!
There is a perfecty good medical term for people who believe the buybull is literal history: mentally ill. As in delusional, bats, around the bend, nutzoid.
Science has come a remarkably long ways in 400 years. As little as 200-250 years ago the “witch theory of causation” was believed to be perfectly valid when the cow or horse came down with foot and mouth disease. Unbelievably, the witch theory of causation is still believed in more intellectually blighted parts of the planet where people actually think The Great Invisible Skywizard runs things. Yet there are millions of them all over the world.
Humans do not deserve to be called homo sapiens. Sapiens means “wise” and this woebegone mudball teems with billions of morons who believe in the supernatural.
“Religion was invented when the first con man met the first fool.” Mark Twain
Mark Twain nailed it. What a brilliant way of saying it perfectly. And with very few words no less.
Its amazing post and photos.It is useful for me and thanks for post this article….

A POST WAS REALLY GOOD .very good information shared in this posts
The separation of church and state is a concept defining the distance in the relationship between organized religion and the nation state. It may refer to creating a secular state, with or without explicit reference to such separation, or to changing an existing relationship of church involvement in a state (disestablishment).
Although the concept of separation has been adopted in a number of countries, there are varying degrees of separation depending on the applicable legal structures and prevalent views toward the proper relationship between religion and politics. While a country’s policy may be to have a definite distinction between church and state bodies, there may be an “arm’s length distance” relationship in which the two entities interact as independent organizations. A similar but typically stricter principle of laïcité has been applied in France and Turkey, while some socially secularized countries such as Denmark and the United Kingdom have maintained constitutional recognition of an official state religion. The concept parallels various other international social and political ideas, including secularism, disestablishmentarianism, religious liberty, and religious pluralism. Whitman (2009) observes that in many European countries, the state has, over the centuries, taken over the social roles of the church, leading to a generally secularized public sphere.
