Interesting thread....

Congratulations to all the wrestlers who made it to state. And to STA who represented eastern Kansas quite well.

Looks like religion can still get folks all riled up.

Remember, it's called "a leap of faith" because it isn't logical or scientific. It's not supposed to be. Evolution is irrelevant to a person's belief in God.

Evolution can't be denied. It's still going on. Again, that doesn't mean you can't believe in God.

It's too late to put much religion back into the public schools, but lots of schools have morning prayer groups and they open up the schools to be used for church services on Sunday. So there's still an opportunity to learn about God even without going to Church on Sunday.

The Constitution doesn't contain the phrase "separation of church and state." It was first used in a letter written by, I believe, Thomas Jefferson. The Supreme Court picked it up but the idea comes from the Establishment Clause. It's complicated and historical. Most of the founding fathers were Deists. Not all were even believers. It is interesting history. They didn't all agree on religion, but they all agreed they didn't want religion, any religion, controlling our government.

Take a look around the World and ask yourself if it wouldn't be a more peaceful place if people weren't killing each other over religious beliefs. Strange business killing in God's name.

And maybe they did find Jesus' casket...that doesn't change anything. If you must tie your faith to historical facts, or the absence of historical facts, you are going to be lead astray.

Godspeed.
