This type of association between the established religious entities and the state governments had been prevalent for over a thousand years, in regards to Catholicism; and for hundreds of years as far as those religious entities that came out of the Protestant Reformation, and was, quite literally all the vast majority of English and European people knew and understood. Jefferson wanted to assure his pastor friend that this type of wedding between the federal government and a religious entity, which was the prevalent thought of the day, would not be permitted under this radically new form of government called a "democracy." Jefferson would have been appalled at the notion that there is not "Supreme Being" or "Creator" of the universe and those who want to freely worship Him should have the right to do so. =20 Elwood Doss, Jr. M.M.E.; RPT Piano Technician/Technical Director Department of Music 145 Fine Arts Building The University of Tennessee at Martin Martin, TN 38238 731/881-1852 _____ =20 From: Piannaman@aol.com [mailto:Piannaman@aol.com]=20 Sent: Monday, November 08, 2004 1:20 AM To: pianotech@ptg.org Subject: Re: Who REALLY won the election ????
