Why church and state are separated
Many Fencepost writers have commented on separation of church and state issues lately. Here is one I hope will amuse.
Many people question why it is impermissible to publicly post the Ten Commandments in courthouses. The real reason is that you cannot post "Thou Shalt not Steal, Thou Shalt not Commit Adultery and Thou Shalt not bear False Witness" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians.
It creates a hostile work environment!
