I was born and raised a Roman Catholic child and I can say that I have remained faithful up to these last few years on my own.  There are just so many flaws with the belief system.  Even in the bible there are numerous mistakes.  The same book which claims it was written by God himself.  Did you know that when the bible was originally written, the blind and deaf were originally thought to be possessed by the devil?  I mean cmon!  That is what human kind resorts to when they do not have an answer for something.

I just don't see how you can justify one, and then support the other two... Please explain.

What is separation between church and state?  Where do you draw the line?  If there is this belief of separation of church and state, than why do most Americans believe this to be a Christian found country?

Separation of church and state is a political and legal doctrine that government and religious institutions be kept separate and independent from each other.

Apart from this legal doctrine that clearly states there is to be a separation between the two, then why, and how are some Americans still fixated on this idea that America is a Christian nation?
