Bob, it sounds like you are concerned about the actions of the governor more than the god/country issue which may/may not be part of the solution. If you focus on what the laws might be concerning this issue, you might be able to find a venue for upholding our constitutional rights; or, if necessary, changing any unjust laws to provide justice and liberty for all. It's the irritating grain of sand in the oyster that makes the pearl.

Mommy talk: We have a right, with wisdom, to defend ourselves, our families, our country, and to extend this to our fellowman. This right is God-given. We are also granted the freedom of will to choose good or evil, but God encourages us to choose good as we do with our children. As you already know, there is no freedom without a fight.
To not defend yourself is stupid, would you not want your own child to stand up for himself?(rhetorical)
Since you brought up faith and the playground, I would just like to add that faith has more to do with the Father/ child relationship with God in that He wants you to believe He loves you, than with our responsibility to enact justice and liberty for all. People seem to overlook the fact that man was given dominion over the earth by God, in Genesis somewhere. We will be rewarded or held accountable for our actions whether good or evil, just as we reward or hold our children accountable. Who here has sent their children to hell for not doing their homework? Ridiculous thought. This is not hard to understand. Do we think God is so stupid that he cannot see every aspect of what we go through and is going to reward us from that perspective?(again rhetorical)

Indeed. Hence the quotation marks. Perhaps I should have added the
to make clear my intent. Not righteous. You asked questions, I provided answers. I have very simple views on life, and faith. I think of myself as a human being, living on this planet with lots of other human beings.
We have a government. I respect that government, and follow their laws. If I went to another country, they would have a different government. I would offer them the same respect.
I think that you're asking the wrong question (on purpose, to stir the pot, naturally). You seem to want to know what people feel about the separation of church and state. I don't like that people use religion as a soapbox to stand upon to push forward personal agendas. I wish other people felt the same, although I won't hold my breath.
But I also believe in a benevolent God who has granted me free will, and that means that I'm free to think and feel what I want to think and feel and believe. And you get to think and feel what you want to think and feel and believe.

Bob, maybe you should have made this into a poll. Obviously you put a lot of people on the spot.
