Well you see Susan when I look at this little tiff in Alabama I don't see it as a "can we preach the gospel" issue. I see it as a political issue entirely. The first admendment reads: '<span style="background-color:yellow;">[b]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.[/b]</span><br><br>Strictly interpreting this phrase it seems to me that Congress can't even touch religion, they can't have a say whether we do or do not display the Ten Commandments, The Sermon on the Mount, or the entire Bible. And since Congress and not the Supreme Court is the body where laws are made (The duties of the Supreme Court is to uphold the law and to rightly interpret the Constitution) and there is no law on any of the law books that says it is forbidden what right has a Federal Judge to say that what a State Judge did is incorrect? The tenth admendment reads "<span style="background-color:yellow;">[b]The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.[/b]</span>". Again strictly interpreting that phrase it seems to me that a Federal Judge with no authority at all over the state in this manner did just the opposite and tell a state judge what he could or could not do. <br><br>So I suppose the question should now be should Christians who are members of the United States stand by and let the Constitution be interpreted in such a manner?
