Separation of Church and State

Dear Editor,
    Re: Joe Zamecki's letter [“Postmarks,” Oct. 29]: Joe’s letter is excellent and truthful. I agree that adding the phrase “one state under God” violates the U.S. Constitution and that a particular religion should not be pushed onto government and all its citizens. I also believe that the Ten Commandments monument on the Texas Capitol grounds is unconstitutional and unethical. And it is elitist with its statement, “I am the Lord thy God; thou shalt have no other God before me.” That 6-foot granite monument is blocking the political and social progress this country desperately needs. And another thing: I can’t believe how many people still believe in the mythical stories of the Old Testament!
