A Flaw --- "Separation of Church and State"

The First Amendment to the Constitution says, 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ...."  However, when he was president, in an official letter dated January 1, 1802, Thomas Jefferson said "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. "(click) Today, Jefferson's letter has changed the way most founders were thinking. In Jefferson's mechanical mind, one will finds many errors on the subject of human life.

The words  'Congress would make no law respecting an establishment of religion' and the words 'Congress would build a wall of separation between Church & State' have very different meanings. The meaning of Jefferson's words will eliminate (1) the functional relations among the People and their government and (2) the functional relations between Church and State.

In any nation that is to be perfected (like the USA), a God must exist and some human activities become necessary. Thus, in any godly nation, necessary human activities must develop so that  functional relations with God and all humans will occur. Some human liberties are thus necessary. The ACLU does not seem to understand these relations.

If a wall is made to separate Church and State, the State can no longer amplify and develop the words that the founders included in the first two paragraphs of the Declaration of Independence.  Jefferson's wall has already destroyed Locke's social contract.  His wall has also halted many necessary human activities that must function in Locke's Society and Government.

The promotion of Jefferson's letter has been a major error of our lawyers and the ACLU.  These errors must be eliminated immediately.
