Default Greetings from Colorado

Hi to all from beautiful Colorado! My views are socially liberal, somewhat conservative on fiscal matters, and I strongly support a complete and absolute separation of church and state. Although I am an atheist, I believe that this separation benefits the religious as well as the non-believers.

I look forward to some interesting discussions.

What do you mean by 'Separation of Church and State'?

Are you familiar with Bob Enyart and the Denver Bible Church?

Sure. But that does not, in any way, define what our friend from Colorado has in mind when he calls for 'Separation of Church and State'.

Instead of putting words in his mouth, I am patient enough to allow him to clarify his own position.

Hey moron, <--- Personal attack all you did was provide a definition for the word 'separation'. That, in no way, clarified Colorado's position.

In fact, there is NOTHING you could write that clarifies it since only HE can do that.


Why are you trying to speak for this man? Don't you think he can speak for himself?


Now, I'll ask him again:
"What do you mean by 'Separation of Church and State'?"

a definition of "separation" was provided for your benefit. are you trying to tell us that the definition of "separation" will change if it is in the context of church and state?

even you can't be that ignorant ... but then i may give you too much credit

I can only assume you think 'Colorado' in incapable of speaking for himself and therefor feel the need to interject your own dopey opinion when a question was directly asked to him.

I'm sure he appreciates your lack of confidence in his abilities.
