A few years back I posted a thread proving that although the founding fathers of teh US were not necessarily Christian, they were at the least, diests that belived in a Creator god and a power and authority that came from that god.

The phrase regarding the separation between church and state is not in any legal documentation by the founding fathers, only in a letter to the Danbury Baptists, reassuring them that the US will never force it's citizens to comply with a governmental (state) religion, due to the constitutional freedoms afforded to them.

That being said, (you can search for and review that trhead at your leisure, I won't repost here, way too long) I think that if this religous group is discriminating against homosexuals or people of other religious affiliations, they shouldn't receive school funding.

However, all "men's" organizations (fraternities) or "women's" organizations (sororities) therefore shouldn't receive school funding, either. Nor should "black clubs" (NAACP) or "asian clubs" or any other ethnic club that excludes people of other races.


Fair is fair.
