Resolved: Democracy is best served with a strict separation of church and state.
Okay...now...just post about what you believe in. I need some practice for the next two months' LD debate. |

i've heard the word "church" used as a word for a religious order.
like, "the two ways to take over a country are by its church or its army." in that sentence, chuch doesn't refer to a christian church, but an established religious order. |
