Separation of Church and State.

Perhaps the most ignored and misunderstood part of the 1st Amendment, even the whole damn Constitution. This concept derives from the establishment and free exercise clauses of the 1st Amendment.

The government CANNOT give preference to any religion, yet we still have "in God We Trust" on our currency, "One nation under God" in our Pledge of Allegiance, and legal marriage rights are dictated by the Church.

There may be no restrictions on religion.... well almost. Numerous Supreme Court cases have allowed for some restrictions (no polygamy for mormons, no peyote use for some native american religions, and no animal sacrifices for some religions, i guess) but these restrictions are for EVERYONE, not just against a particular group (so it's technically not discrimination).

Essentially, people are free to BELIEVE what they want (even if they aren't allowed to PRACTICE their beliefs in some cases) and people are free FROM religion.

Thank God (Ironic? I think not) that there is such a thing as Separation of Church and State. Imagine being forced to believe a certain way or being punished by law for believing something.

Marriage is both a legal and religious institution. WTF? Don't we have separation of church and state?

Guess what? I believe that a giant spaghetti monster sits on a throne of meatballs and laughs at all of humanity's follies. I can believe what I want.

Bro Separator

When you put a sleeping bag in the middle of the bed when two bros are forced to sleep together.

Bro 1: "Man, 2 beds and 3 bros."
Bro 2: "Dibbs on sleeping alone!"
Bro 3: "Alright, I'll get the bro separator."

separation of church and state junk

When an airhead/paid escort gets elected to government without ever reading the Constitution.

Lauren Boebert: THIS IS AMERICA! WE ARE A CHRISTIAN NATION!
The Constitution: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Lauren Boebert: "I'm so tired of this separation of church and state junk!"

5 degrees of separation

In today's hyper connected world, 6 degrees of seperation is somewhat outdated. If your online and using sites like Facebook, Bebo, Okurt or Myspace (or multiples of them) you're only 5 steps away from everyone in the world not 6.

After talking to Conner at the party for awhile, Hannah realized she recognized him from a comment he left on her friend's Facebook wall. 5 degrees of separation in the flesh.

separation anxiety

When Chelsea and Tamika can not be a part from one another for any longer than 5 seconds. They feel uncomfortable when each other are not around. All they want to do is be around each other all the time.

This is also called being in love.

Tamika; I can't function when Chelsea is not here. I just want her here to cuddle her and hug her.

Chelsea; I miss Tamika so much, I have so much separation anxiety when she isn't around.
