There is no such thing as "separation of church and state". Those words don't appear anywhere in our constitution. This is what actually is in our constitution's first amendment:

"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."

That's funny. My accountant said I didn't make any money this year!?

If they're breaking the law, the IRS can always hit them up for taxes or nail them for fraud.

Stereotype much?

I guess the church where my wife works and we attend is just trying to steal money? How about my dad, preacher for near 45 years, 30 year Navy Chaplain, stealing money? Just curious.

Poor attempt at changing the subject sailingfun and quite typical of the far left. You weren't attempting humor, you were attempting to belittle Buzz's factual post through condescension. Churches (even TV churches) are non-profits as Buzz correctly states. When one is found to be in the profit making business, they immediately lose exempt status and the leaders can go to jail.

What direction would you like to divert this debate next?

Btw, if you're ever rich enough to own a corporate jet, pay for everything on your black amex and fly around on Delta for free!

Discrimination based on what?

old age?

Trailer park inhabitants?

Swedish bikini teams?

I discriminated when I bought my tacoma.

Now if you buy a ticket on them and your flight attendants are gay, fat, or old, is that false advetising?

How can you be certain there are no blondes there?

I'm with you. With my vision failing, at a distance a blonde will get my attention faster than a brunette. Then I get closer and realize my focus should have been on someone else.

It sucks being a dog. If I could help it, I would.
