    Divine right of kings and a prohibition against revolt against a tyrant.

    Romans 13
    1 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
    2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
    3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended.
    4 For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
    5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.
    6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing.
    7 Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

    Phantasmal supports students bringing Prayer Rugs to school, do you? How about Minarets. How many Minarets do you want in your neighborhood?
    None of those are establishing a religion any more than the holiday New Years Day establishes bars or than Independence day establishes barbecues. Many of the more important religious holidays don't even net you day off in this country because this "established" religion isn't an established religion that runs this country. When was the last time you got a day off for Easter other than just because it is part of the "weekend"? How about Passover? Good Friday? (Some unions vote that one in, but it certainly isn't established as a government recognized holiday).

    It matters nothing to the discussion at hand in which it was asked what part of the religion is incompatible with the constitution. So, we ask you to provide a portion of the religious mandates that require Christians to establish itself as a "state religion" because we understand the Establishment Clause of the 1st Amendment, both that it exists, and that the religion is not the state religion as we do not have one.

    You confuse the religion with some of its misguided "believers". There is no verse in the Bible that says that your children should be taught religion in a government school. I'd love for you to provide one, but it would be manufactured. I do not follow this religion or believe in God in this way. I don't say this stuff out of some weird allegiance or as an apologist. You can hardly throw a rock without hitting a church in any of the 50 states, but it doesn't establish it as a national religion.

    Why would that matter to the question at hand? And can you provide the verses that required this Inquisition? Basically, can you provide a religious basis from their holy book that shows that the religion itself is in some way incompatible with a Constitution that says that they have every right to believe in that sky daddy?

    Strange, I don't talk about you like that and you claim to be religious. You should really do a review of what kind of person you are. It is not much.
