One of the problems when we live in a government that tries to teach the separation of Church and State is, the church is given the privilege to preach the gospel .
Dear BrethrenWhen Jefferson penned his infamous letter about separation of Church and State, one needs to remember that the Church was in charge of education, not the State.
And yes, there had better be a separation of Church and State, or the State will try to take over the Church.
Here's a short video on the subject of Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists that had voiced their concerns about persecution because of their beliefs. First the letter, then a short video on its significance/meaning.
