The United States Constitution serves as the law of the land for America
and indicates the intent of our Founding Fathers. The Constitution forms
a secular document, and nowhere does it appeal to God, Christianity,
Jesus, or any supreme being. (For those who think the date of the
Constitution contradicts the last sentence, see note 1 at the end.) The
U.S. government derives from people (not God), as it clearly states in
the preamble: "We the people of the United States, in order to form a
more perfect Union...." The omission of God in the Constitution did not
come out of forgetfulness, but rather out of the Founding Fathers
purposeful intentions to keep government separate from religion.

Although the Constitution does not include the phrase "Separation of
Church & State," neither does it say "Freedom of religion." However, the
Constitution implies both in the 1st Amendment. As to our freedoms, the
1st Amendment provides exclusionary wording:

Congress shall make NO law respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
[bold caps, mine]

Thomas Jefferson made an interpretation of the 1st Amendment to his
January 1st, 1802 letter to the Committee of the Danbury Baptist
Association calling it a "wall of separation between church and State."
Madison had also written that "Strongly guarded. . . is the separation
between religion and government in the Constitution of the United
States." There existed little controversy about this interpretation from
our Founding Fathers.

If religionists better understood the concept of separation of Church &
State, they would realize that the wall of separation actually protects
their religion. Our secular government allows the free expression of
religion and non-religion. Today, religions flourish in America; we have
more churches than Seven-Elevens.

Although many secular and atheist groups today support and fight for the
wall of separation, this does not mean that they wish to lawfully
eliminate religion from society. On the contrary, you will find no
secular or atheist group attempting to ban Christianity, or any other
religion from American society. Keeping religion separate allows
atheists and religionists alike, to practice their belief systems,
regardless how ridiculous they may seem, without government intervention.

The first thing I do when I think someone has used the wrong word is to look
it up. sf is correct in her usage.

"The reason that "subscribe" means to agree with or to give assent to in
these sentences is that one of the word's meanings is to sign underneath
("sub-scribe")--as, for example when one signs one's name to a petition to
indicate agreement with the text of the petition.

If you are not sure about whether to use "ascribe" or "subscribe" in a given
sentence, try substituting the word "credit" or "attribute" for "ascribe."
If the sentence doesn't make sense with either of those words, then
"ascribe" is not the word you want."

Check your own American dictionary; it won't support SF's usage.

It is only in certain forums that people will argue until they are blue
in the face when they are wrong and too stupid to admit it and too
incompetent to check for themselves, especially when it is common
knowledge to so many people... smarter people I guess.

No. It is prescribe as in to set down in writing. Subscribe is to
sanction or agree too. Ascribe is to credit or assign cause to. In
reference to the the "h" not being pronounced in the word "herb" you
said that the Brits don't prescribe to that. If you had said they do no
prescribe that you would would have had some wiggle room, but the use of
"to" was a major error. Someone else suggested that you meant to use
"ascribe" which would have been incorrect because that means to assign
credit or cause to.

Everyone I know here with an English background pronounces the "herb".
The French can be excused because the French is not pronounced in their
language.

A simple Google search most certainly does:

state authoritatively or as a rule that (an action or procedure)
should be carried out.

"rules prescribing five acts for a play are purely arbitrary"

synonyms: stipulate, lay down, dictate, specify, determine,
establish, fix

"rules prescribing your duty"

She wasn't any kind of teacher. She was a hospital cleaner and used to
complain bitterly about having to clean bed pans.

I am thinking about it. That person (I refuse to call her a lady) has
followed me around for *many* *many* years and tried to drive me off usenet
with her vicious lies. It has only stopped now because she knows she is in
my kf and realises I don't give a damn anyway. I guess I am just about
fed up with her strutting around and putting good people down with her
'expert' knowledge. I guess it felt it was my turn today. She wasn't
always called the Google queen for nothing.

And now I have NOTHING more to say on this subject. Ok?

You did not say that they prescribe it, meaning that is written down
somewhere as a rule . You said "The Brits don't prescribe to that." The
word should have been subscribe.... the Brits don't subscribe to that
(rule).

Now perhaps you'd care to describe those definitions in relation to
"The Brits don't prescribe to that"

Is it "The Brits don't stipulate to that"? The Brits don't state
authoritatively to that?"

You made an arse of yourself, best just wipe yourself down and flush.

No, it's "a herb".
"An hotel" is apparently a late nineteenth century affectation. "A
hotel" is perfectly OK.

differently
