“Is the appointment of Chaplains to the two Houses of Congress consistent with the Constitution, and with the pure principle of religious freedom? In strictness the answer on both points must be in the negative. The Constitution of the U. S. forbids everything like an establishment of a national religion. The law appointing Chaplains establishes a religious worship for the national representatives, to be performed by Ministers of religion, elected by a majority of them, and these are to be paid out of the national taxes. Does this not involve the principle of a national establishment ... ?” DoeTwoLawHouseReligiousAnswersPrinciplesPureTaxesWorshipNegativeConstitutionPaidMajorityCongressPositive AtheismSeparationMinistersConsistentEstablishmentRepresentativesSeparation Of Church And StateReligious FreedomAppointmentsChaplains Author:James Madison

“The nineteenth and twentieth centuries have given us as much terror as we can take. We have paid a high enough price for the nostalgia of the whole and the one, for the reconciliation of the concept and the sensible, of the transparent and the communicable experience. Under the general demand for slackening and for appeasement, we can hear the mutterings of the desire for a return of terror, for the realization of the fantasy to seize reality. The answer is: Let us wage a war on totality; let us be witnesses to the unpresentable; let us activate the differences.” WarEnoughWholeRealityDesireGivenDifferencesAnswersFantasyCenturyReturnDemandConceptsPaidTerrorNostalgiaRealizationWitnessSensibleReconciliationTransparentTwentieth CenturyTotalityActivateAppeasementMuttering Author:Jean-Francois Lyotard
