From their "diagnostic quiz":

   
Quote
14. The phrase the “separation of church and state” can be found where?
(a) in the original Constitution.
(b) in the Bill of Rights.
( c ) in the amendments enacted after the Bill of Rights.
(d) in the Declaration of Independence.
(e) in none of the above, but in arguments by people seeking to censor Christianity.

Oooh!  I know!  Pick me!  Pick me!!!!!111!

Easy, peasy, Japanesey.  

In a letter from Thomas Jefferson* to the Danbury Baptists** dated January 1, 1802.

* Otherwise a favorite Founding Father of conservatives.

** There was a time that Baptists were a minority Christian sect and feared oppression by the more dominant Anglican sect. Oh, how the times have changed.***

***  There are actually liberal Baptists. Believe it or not.

My EX told me that, as recently as the 1960s, most Baptists believed in separation of church and state.

I thought the "separation" phrase was a summary (or paraphrase? perhaps a sound bite?) of one of the ten, rather than a quote of the actual wording of it.

The phrase was Jefferson's description of purpose and effect of the religion clauses of the First Amendment:

 
Quote
I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State.

If I recall correctly, the phrase was repeated in his letter to the Virginia Baptists, as well.

Well, clearly the Republican Governors could best use their time to fly to Belfast to straighten the Irish out and visit some of the Catholic bars to explain to them how a Good Republican Protestant Governor feels about The Virgin Mary and the Pope.

Maybe you and Peter Henderson anonymous friends could  help out?  I know my relatives the peace-loving saintly, happy residents would be happy to assist in any way possible. :)

Mystery: why do non conservatives exist.

Along with a breakdown of the causes:

Quote
 Statistical Analysis

(Estimates)

       * 30%: did not hear about conservative principles, their logic and full benefits until after they made up their mind and, perhaps due to pervasive societal bias, refuse to reconsider
       * 15%: lack of desire to find the truth, and a greater desire in gaining attention, praise by liberal teachers, getting along by going along, and not standing up to liberal bullies
       * 15%: refuse to let go of their past, especially their past mistakes and image
etc etc...

I suppose it is the liberal in me coming out, but has anyone seen the equivalent 'Why do non-liberals exist?' complete with phony stats? I find it hard to imagine unless it was a spoof.

It's as hard as usual to distinguish poe from non-poe on conservapedia, however it would seem that the original author of that article is at least not a drive-by parodist.

The Conservapedia evolution article has sprinted past the 500,000 view mark! This is bad news for the dogmatic evolutionists who are aware that in 2006, the prestigious science journal Science reported concerning the United States: "The percentage of people in the country who accept the idea of evolution has declined from 45 in 1985 to 40 in 2005. Meanwhile the fraction of Americans unsure about evolution has soared from 7 per cent in 1985 to 21 per cent last year."[9] Watch the internet continue to grind down evolutionism!

From that "Evolution" article on Conservapudia, noted without comment:

"Evolutionary theory played a prominent role in regards to atheistic communism. Communists, in particular Stalinism, favored a version of Lamarckism called Lysenkoism developed by the atheist Trofim Denisovich Lysenko."

It's an estimate, and a work in progress. Do you doubt its truth? Perhaps you're simply saying that a liberal newspaper would not admit this, and you'd be right about that. But the truth is not constrained by what liberals will admit.--aschlafly 18:29, 14 December 2008 (EST)

Andy comes up with another gem:
Quote
James, your own postings are extremely verbose with little on topic and yet ... you accuse Karajou of a "rant"???  This talk page is your criticism of the biblical explanation of survival by mammals of a massive flood.  Do you think evolution has a better explanation of how mammals could survive a massive flood?  I'd love to hear it if you have one.  I don't think anyone denies that all of the inhabitable earth has been flooded.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 18:56, 5 November 2009 (EST)

It's not whether there's a point on Earth's surface that's never been under water at some point in geologic history, it's whether all of those points were under at the same time for a period of months.

Rhetorical question: how can some people confuse all of Earth but at different times with all of the Earth at once?
