"WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court ruled Monday that ordinary taxpayers cannot challenge a White House initiative that helps religious charities get a share of federal money.

The 5-4 decision blocks a lawsuit by a group of atheists and agnostics against eight Bush administration officials including the head of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives.

The taxpayers' group, the Freedom From Religion Foundation Inc., objected to government conferences in which administration officials encourage religious charities to apply for federal grants."

That is a recent article involving our government's situation where they are funding private religious charities using tax payers money to do so. A group categorized as "Atheists" brought it up to our courts to well, decide what prevails--The foundation of our wonderful country, or the interests of religioius people over others.

Apparently, our so called foundation has been rotted over as the years progressed.  And to tell the truth,  this deterioration has a deeper fix then even terminex can handle. It questions our overall stature as a nation and how we conduct ourselves.

In other words, the USA is based on a simple concept; the church and state is separated in funding and principles. This is what separates us from Iran. By the government ignoring this successful idea, it breaks the concept of how we run our country, and offers more questions to be answered.

What religion gets to pick?

Why?

Whether or not you are a devoted religionist or not, its indisputable that the government is contradicting its very own supporting beams. Our western society and ruling is being questioned, and only time and a bit of corrupt politicians will tell how far this goes.

I may not 100% agree with the immigration bill or war in Iraq, but it is moreover a better use of time to solve problems then recreate the constitution.  But.. what do I know...my family and I are only "ordinary tax payers," anyway.  Maybe I misunderstood the word "Equality"
