So if the Americans would change the Pledge of Allegiance back to the original version, God would punish them by giving them fewer breast implants. Did I get this right? It makes sense, because before the words "under God" were added, breast implants were not available.
When I posted what I did about breast implants and it bearing some significance to God's favor I did not know how prophetic I was until I realized that there are theologians and writers out there who have drawn parallels between the "golden calf" and the culture of breast implants. I have even found a play that makes this modern connection with the idolatry of the Israelites.

What a load of crap. Many Muslim countries have lasted many many times longer than the US has existed. Does that mean that Allah is more true than the Christian God? By your logic it sure does.
Not to blow their horn, but I thought the RCC had the longest standing government. Just a thought.

What self respecting governement would have its soldiers wear uniforms like those of the Vatican security?

I'd always wondered from whence came the white smoke, as well.

The medieval Swiss government.

Can you say “church-state separation”? 🙂
For the moment. Which is why I said "some day".

Under what circumstances, if any, would you support the state telling clergy of any religion who they may/may not marry?

Polygamy and consanguinity, perhaps.

So if the State said that clergy could only perform polygamous marriages, you'd be OK with that?

I was obviously referring to the "may not" bit, genius.

In any case, I said "perhaps" because I am not sure the State should intervene even in those cases.

Hmmm . . .
