        All I want to see happen is a return to the 
	priciples of God's laws and covenants as laid out in Scripture and
	codified in the Constitution of the United States.  (Now, if anybody
	has a fear of the Constitution, then baby, you got PROBLEMS!)

God and Scripture are NEVER mentioned in the Constitution.  God is mentioned 
(I think once) in the Declaration of Independence.  Jefferson, Adams, Monroe 
and many of the other framers felt that it was unconstitutional for their to 
be a Congressional Chaplain, much the less a state church.  

Please cite your references for codification of religious principles in the
Constitution.
