Ahhhh, now you are showing your real colors.
I figured sooner or later you would. I can keep this up forever, if you
like, no skin off my nose.
This discussion is over. You have been trumped. However, if you want to
keep posting I can keep posting this same post in reply since it keeps
trumping you. Only a total dunce, or hard core RRR would pick your so
called evidence over the reams of documentaiton provided in the following,
especially the last two. There is documentation found in those last two you
didn't even know existed. LOL.

. . . You can't understand a phrase such as "Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion" by syllogistic reasoning. Words
take their meaning from social as well as textual contexts, which is why "a
page of history is worth a volume of logic." New York Trust Co. v. Eisner,

USAF LT. COL (Ret) Buffman (Glen P. Goffin) wrote
"You pilot always into an unknown future;
facts are your only clue. Get the facts!"
That philosophy 'snipit' helped to get me, and my crew, through a good
many combat missions and far too many scary, inflight, emergencies.
