[edit] Your note

I'm willing to take a look if you tell me which article, but I have to tell you that Gamaliel is a good editor and respected administrator, so you'd do well to try to cooperate with him. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 22:18, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

I am talking about the Jeff Gannon/James Guckert article. There are a number of POV problems with that article which I have tried to correct. I will admit that I had an axe to grind, and ticked him off, but I have apologized, and asked him to tell me where he disagrees with me, and to try to work it out, and he refuses to discuss it. Just goes in and reverts my edits without discussion. He has NEVER been willing to discuss it, in my opinion, but is even less likely to discuss it now. Sdth 03:50, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Friendly Question

I'm not familiar with the specific edit or source in question but it is perfectly acceptable to question the use of a source. The way to counteract a sourced disputed assertion is with sourced info, however. You can also look into possibly getting a consensus on removing the disputed source from the article. But don't edit war over it (I don't know if you have or have not) and don't add original research to counter it.

As for separation of church and state, you can't get a good view of someone beliefs from a userbox. :) I do support the separation of church and state. History shows that when they are combined, horrors like the Inquisition, and the genocides in Africa occur. I am also against religious leaders using their churches as political centers to pump an ideology, or a political party. "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's" However, I don't think that the government helping to fund a faith based organization, having God in the national anthem and pledge of allegiance, opening Congress with a prayer, or swearing on a Bible is the establishment of any religion, or in any violates the separation of Church and state.
