Clatworthy’s

Filed in Delaware by on October 17, 2008

Got 15 minutes. Why not give a watch and learn about John Clatworthy’s alma mater, Regent University. This is from Bill Moyers, a man who epitomizes everything good about Christianity.

Oh by the way, if you didn’t know Clatworthy is running for the State Senate in the 4th District.

Part Two below the fold.

    Given the University’s explicit mission, I think it is incumbent on Clathworthy to state whether or not he believes in the separation of Church and state.

    OK, so here’s my question, if this were some Mullah in Afghanistan training people to be lawyers and MBA’s and pursue Sharia law for the country, would we consider them to be a risk to our mission there?

    LG, I’m trying to understand where you are going with this? Is this directed to me or our right-wing visitors?

    I have a strong belief in the separation of church and state.

    Toward our right-wing commenters. Sorry.

    The difference between Mullah Omar and Pat Robertson appears to be that one of them was way more successful.

    Show me the Mullah!

    Okay…Nitey nite.

    I couldn’t sit through that whole thing. No thanks.

  7. Mike Protack says:

    Which document contains the words, Separation between Church and State? The Constitution or the Declaration of Independence?

    It is so often quoted I wonder if you folks know where it comes from.

    Mike,

    Everyone knows that the phrase “separation of church and state” is from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson in 1802 to the Danbury Baptists. The letter notes that the First Amendment to the United States Constitution clearly says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.”

    The Constitution goes on to state that there will be no religious litmus test for any elected office.

    So, the courts have maintained (throughout our history) that there is a “wall of separation” between Church and state.

    It is only Anti-American religious nut cases who think otherwise.

    Thanks, Mike, for continuing to demonstrate on an almost daily basis why nobody should ever feel sorry for you over the crappy way the state GOP treats you.
