Is this why the smartest guys in the room urged a "separation(?)" between Government and religious jingoism? Surely it's obvious now WHY. Government and religion corrupt each other and give cover to commit heinous acts of cruelty to achieve their goal of domination. Sadly, the Framers must have had a more naive vision of what future Oligarchs would fashion from the omissions of the Constitution and how religion would be abused to chip away at our individual Liberties, once let into the tent. Ignoring their own Gospel, slightly less than half of voters chose Barabas. Do they even see it? Sooner or later, Orange Antichrist will come for them too. " You won't need to vote."
