Great so you've confirmed that your first statement was incorrect, by correctly stating that it says "RESPECTING an establishment of religion" This was my point. Now that you've read it correctly, you won't make such mistakes in future.
"Congress. Not little kids in school."
As I said, Rachel is mistaken, and this point is correct.
I was just pointing out that the 1st amendment had nothing to do with establishing a religion, as your first point absurdly stated.
Yes. READ IT. It applies ONLY to acts of Congress.
Has NO application to ANYONE ELSE.
"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."
Yeah, I wouldn't say Rachel is a fascist pig, but I think she's got her wires crossed a little.
Freedom of speech applies to citizens, the valedictorian is acting as a citizen, and can say what she likes. Teachers and officials from a school are acting on behalf of a state funded institution, and therefore are bound to the rules of separation of church and state, and are not allowed to promote a religion.
I'm an atheist, but I know when my fellows in arms get it wrong.
I challenge Rachel and any other liberal LIAR to show us where the Constitution says government can't ENDORSE religion or make laws ENDORSING religion.
The Constitution says ESTABLISH. And just because dumb ass lying liberals keep repeating "endorsement" doens't mean ANYTHING.
Wake up, America. Liberals are raping you of your God-given rights by twisting and lying and distorting the FACTS right in front of your FACE.
This chick is NOT Congress establishing religion. Rachel's an idiot
"But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." - Mark 6:6
Hey, I didn't say it. Jesus did. You know - God.
So do what he says and keep this praying business to yourself! Go and sin no more!
Trust me, you do not want to fuck with Jesus on this one. Or he will mess you up! And you won't get the full joys of heaven. It won't be Great, merely "OK". Boo!
was that a purposeful pun/spelling mistake. Very clever.

I understand perfectly well what "respecting" means.
You initially said, and I quote: "The Constitution says ESTABLISH". You did not say "The Constitution says RESPECTING AN ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION"
Got it? (I won't disrespect retarded people by replying in kind)
"The founders made it clear that this was to protect against a STATE CHURCH"
Again, I AGREE WITH YOU - RACHEL IS MISTAKEN, as I have said TWICE already. So that makes three times please stop with this stupid straw man.
jamesstephenbrown 3 years ago
Great. So you've confirmed that you are RETARDED.
Go get a dictionary! "Respecting" means, pertaining to or about.
"Congress shall make now law respecting (PERTAINING TO OR ABOUT) an establishment of religion."
The founders made it clear that this was to protect against a STATE CHURCH. Anyone who says otherwise is either a liar or a publicly educated RETARD.

Congress. Not local governments.
Congress. Congress. Congress. Congress.

Ah, I don't agree with Rachel on this one but you are WAY off, read the 1st amendment in full if you want to spout your mouth off.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Rachel is a fascist pig.
Rachel is saying, "All Christians shut the hell up."
She's an angry dyke and a God-hater.
If it's not Congress establishing a state church, NO ONE has the right to tell ANYONE what they can or cannot say in a religious context.
How is this teenager equated to "Congress shall pass no law establising religion"?
And why isn't anyone pointing out the "prohibiting the free exercise therof" part of the 1st amendment???
Rachel's just a fag liberal liar.
