Rev. Falwell: Makes Assertions at the Southern Baptist Convention
There is a thin line between Church and State. And Rev. Jerry Falwell is working to help it disappear. His views are quite evident and now he is claiming, that he and the Christian right, are responsible for electing George Bush President. It doesn't stop here.
He is trying to make sure Hillary Clinton is not elected President, surmised by a report on his speech by WRIC 8 in Richmond. He states he's "too old to care or be intimidated" by those who oppose him.
No matter what side of the issue you are on, if this makes you proud, or makes you feel that he is tampering in areas of politics that should not be his domain, serious thought should be given to why separation of Church and State was written into our Constitution.

What part of the constitution was the separation of church and state written into?
Thank you for your commemt. There is much debate on this subject. I will refer you to what is written in Wiki:
"The separation of church and state is a concept in modern thought and practice, whereby the structures of state or national government are kept separate from those of religious institutions. The concept has long been a topic of political debate. The term "church" is associated with Christianity, but the phrase is usually used to refer to religion and religious institutions in general. In countries where other religions are dominant, the words mosque, temple, or synagogue are often substituted.
In the United States, separation of church and state is governed by the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and by legal precedents interpreting that clause."
