separation of church and state

In America, the purpose of separation of church and state is to avoid 'excessive entanglement' of the two institutions. An important court ruling on the subject led to the Lemon Test, which holds three conditions on a government's actions: that it must have a legitimate secular purpose, must not have the primary effect of either advancing or inhibiting religion, and must not result in an "excessive entanglement" of the government and religion.

Separation of church and state is essential to modern goverment.

Spartification

Any reunion or event of (or involving) the KMD. Usually involves ridiculous amounts of alcohol and general nonsense. A typical night of spartification ends the following morning usually with three or more people passed out on the floor.

"Did you hear Dattoli, Bryan and Miller are getting together tonight."
"Yeah, sounds like there's going to be some serious spartification going down."

Stair Separation

While at school or any other public place, while experiencing massive magnet balls, one will step 3 or 4 steps up thus, relieving the magnet balls in a not so obvious way.

Tom: Dude why the hell are you stepping up the stairs so high?

Joey: Well, when you have magnet balls, you can relieve them by stair separation so it aint so obvious

separation of church and state

The idea that government shall favor no religion for another or make no law that is bias toward one religion and not another.

What it does not say is that elected officials can not be religious. It says they should make no law that favors religion or display favoritism in a public government institution.

Putting a cross in the back of your office is fine, displaying a statue of the ten commandments in front of a court house is not.

What? Can't buy beer on Sundays in some states, that violates separation of Church and State.

What? "In God We Trust" on coinage, the government is favoring Christianity over other religions. I feel this violates separation of church and state. I shouldn't have to be preached inside of a court house or inside of a school. If I want to hear preaching, I could go to church or temple or a mosque or whatever else their is.
