Several months ago I received an Email that made some very interesting comments about the law as it pertains to the separation of church and state. I don’t know who originally wrote the letter, or if it’s old or new. But it does make some observations that I’d like to impart. For example, the letter states that if the government cannot officially pray to God, trust in God and cannot post His commandments in government buildings, than it should not participate in Easter and Christmas celebrations that honor the God that our government is eliminating from many facets of American life. Furthermore, since Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving and Easter are all just another day, and then Americans should be able to have their mail delivered on those days. After all, it’s just another day, the letter explains.

In addition, the U.S. Supreme Court should be in session on those days, as well as on Sundays. Members of the House and Senate should also realize that getting home for Christmas break is not to be on their agenda. By the way, the letter goes on, quite a few taxpayer dollars could be saved if all government workers toiled regularly (not just in emergency sessions) on Sunday, Christmas, Good Friday and Easter without being paid overtime, since those should be just regular days under court rules. The implication is that government should not grant special dispensation for religious holidays.

The writer continues that in the past, These are definitely things I never thought about... but since many court decisions have been coming down on the side of not allowing religion to mix with government, with banning the cross on government property, and other assorted related decisions, than perhaps its time to think about those topics.

Now that those questions have been raised, is it time to seriously bring the issue up to high-ranking government officials?

Readers, what do you think?
