Where's the Separation of Religion and State?

Milton Platt

Did not mean to twist your words. I am saying only that separation of church and state means no official state religion. I am 100% for that. But separation does not mean that a few symbols cannot be displayed. No one is forced to accept any religion because of a Christmas tree or Star of David on a government building. And putting the 10 commandments on a court house wall is not saying there is a state religion that everyone must follow.

I am pretty laid back about all of that, as I have said. But I understand the concern. Perhaps an area could be devoted to religious symbols in a given building and we could end up with hundreds of competing objects. I don’t see what that does for anyone.

As for Christian women, Christ Jesus is the covering over their heads.

1 Corinthians 11:1-10--"Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.

3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.

5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

8 For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.

9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

10 because the woman to have power on her head because of the angels"

If you notice in verse 10, because of the angels, These angels are not the angels of God.
If they were, then why would a woman need to cover her head to protect herself from the angels of God.
These angels are the angels of Satan's.

And the cover which is over the woman's head is Christ Jesus. That gives the woman the power of Christ Jesus, because of the angels of Satans.


As well as the man is to have Christ Jesus in Remembrance over their heads
Thanks for your interpretation. I interpret it differently.
If she was one of us, as you say, then she would have no problem conforming to our way of life, as does many other people who come here, had no problem conforming to our way of life.

You don't hear Germans or Russians or Mexicans or Japanese or Chinese and many other people that came from other countries to be here, you don't see them seeking to change our laws just to accommodate themselves.

So what's so special about her. Just because she's a Muslim she gets special attention. Is that it.

Many people here in the United States do not trust Muslims, after they had taken Americans as hostages and cut off their heads and destroyed New York City twin towers and afterwards Muslims went out in the streets of New York rejoicing the destruction of the twin towers,
And how about muslims yelling death to America.
And wonder why people here don't trust Muslims.
can't be serious.
I have a serious question ... Do you just believe everything you hear? Because it certainly appears that way.

Nope not at all, I believe only what I read.

Maybe it's you that believes everything you hear and not what you should read.

So you believe that women should wear a head scarf or a hat you dont really believe that a headscarf or hat will protect women from the fallen angels of Satans when they come.
If that's the case, I guess I better stock up on hat's.

I require evidence in order to believe the claims that people make. I'm just wired that way.

I believe women should wear whatever they want, for whatever reasons they want.

The Bible you follow makes the claim that women should cover their heads when they pray. That's not my claim.
