Not that it matters anymore really, I gave up SODA in 2005. ;-)

Seperation of Church and State is in dire straits.
This was just too big to put in my Dogma Alert segment this week.
"With respect to public acknowledgment of religious belief, it is entirely clear from our Nation's historical practices that the Establishment Clause permits this disregard of polytheists and believers in unconcerned deities, just as it permits the disregard of devout atheists." (McCreary County v. ACLU of Kentucky, 545 U.S. 844 (2005) (Justice Anton Scalia dissenting).
"Quite simply, the Establishment Clause is best understood as a federalism provision — it protects state establishments from federal interference but does not protect any individual rights. . . . .[E]ven assuming that the Establishment Clause precludes the Federal Government from establishing a national religion, it does not follow that the Clause created or protects any individual right. . . . it is more likely that States and only States were the direct beneficiaries. Moreover, incorporation of this putative individual right leads to a particular outcome: It would prohibit precisely what the Establishment Clause was intended to protect — state establishments of religion." (Justice Clarence Thomas, concurring opinion, Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow).
According to the lifetime appointees of the U.S. Supreme Court, at best only monotheists have religious freedom and states can establish their own religion or church. These are the same sort of justices that John McCain has promised.
