Separation of church and state is not so separate in Pennsylvania when speech is shot down by lawmakers as violating "god's law".
I'm not sure what the recourse is for a legislator who has had his first amendment rights taken away but I certainly hope he fights this abuse.

It sounds a little arrogant and rebellious to me...
Preston Garno All of a sudden? The Supreme Court made that ruling over a century ago: it was in regards to Mormons wanting to be polygamous. According to their "God's law", polygamy was their right. The government disagreed. Guess who won that argument.
Furthermore, if you look around the world, the societies that are the most prosperous, most successful, and have the greatest percentage of happy, industrious citizens are those which have which have thrown "God's law" out of their legal systems entirely. The imposition of "God's law" is, and always will be, synonymous with oppression, persecution and death. That's the facts, Jack.
So. Now let’s look at the "God's law" and always being synonymous with “oppression, persecution, and death.” The so called “Dark Ages” were the ACTUAL times of prosperity. The Holy Roman Empire, while not perfect, spread education and advancements throughout Europe and wiped out barbarianism. This fact is almost always forgotten: that the monks of the Middle Ages built the schools and towns. Call that oppression, persecution, and death? Give me an example of a time when Christianity and God's law brought oppression and persecution and death. The entire Christian theology is armed Against your accusations. Your past statement just shows that you are either brainwashed or lying.
The rest of your diatribe is equally ignorant of actual history. The Abrahamic religions have been responsible for some of the worst periods of death and destruction in human history. I might add that Nazi Germany, far from being secular, was in fact backed by the Catholic Church, and Hitler, so far as he was concerned, derived his power directly from God.
Don't you dare tell me that Christianity is armored against my accusations. Christianity and Islam are the cause of my accusations.
Now I am a Roman Catholic, and by that the Faith is the only one by which the Truth and true Peace can be reached. Islam and other such religions have caused strife, no doubt, but you are throwing the baby out with the bath-water if you come to the conclusion that "belief in God in society can only cause oppression and death." Really really bad logic. Now, name one time where the Catholic Church has caused oppression, persecution, and death. And get me a source too.
Also, tell me that America today is happy and prosperous and extremely powerful. Can you really say that?
