The original intent of the
"separation
of church and state" metaphor as used by Thomas Jefferson was
understood to mean The Separation via Church-Tunnel vs StateTyranny.
- That
state-tyranny is
walled off from my Trinitarian Christian beliefs,
i.e. The
USA's
default religion;
- That
state-tyranny is
walled off from my Trinitarian
thoughts and
speech;
- That
state-tyranny is
walled off from my Trinitarian
purposes
and deeds;
- That
state-tyranny is
walled off from my Trinitarian paths
as a
student, parent, teacher, soldier,
citizen, preacher or any other
employments;
- And
that Jefferson's
metaphor includes
the
1st Amendment
principle: 'nor prohibit the free exercise thereof';
so
- That,
before my foot
strikes a path,
the
'Separation' Wall is immediately erected
parallel to my path on one side; and
- That, immediately
the other
parallel wall of "free expression
thereof" is erected on the other side of my path;
so
- That, state-tyranny is COMPLETELY
WALLED
OFF from my TRINITARIAN CHRISTIAN
LIFE on
or
off state property!
- Therefore,
original
intent requires the DUAL, EQUAL and PARALLEL WALLS of separation of
church and state.
- Because
it is "We, The
People" not "we the employed or the labeled." - rek
