I've been known to do so upon occasion. One of my favorite corollaries of Murphy's Law is "Nothing can be made foolproof because fools are so ingenious." Instead of sputtering and foaming (I don't mean to say that this post falls into that category) over the fools that exist, and thereby reinforcing the perception that Christians are reactionary and merely intent on retaining power over the culture, Christians should focus their energy on doing all we can to promote the type of educational values Dr. Veith has been highlighting in this series of posts.

Its a great place to work and I have met a lot of great friends there. One co-worker, sweet lady, once complained that a customer's mention of God to another employee might be a violation of the constitution's requirement of separation of church and state!? I don't think she is unique among my co-workers or other liberals I know. They don't have a clue. I work for a large used bookstore chain.

I hate to be so rude but the complete and utter lack of any understanding about what it means for a religion to established by the federal gov't is schocking. Does he want congress to pass a law stoping NASCAR from having a prayer? Has he read the 1st Amendment? Mr. Geller is an idiot.
