Help me out with this metaphor thing,Tawnos. Are you saying the First Amendment is just writen in figures of speech? Are any of the other amendments to The Bill of Rights written in this kind of code?
Are you dense? I simply quoted the authors' metaphors which explains the first amendment, not that the first amendment is a figure of speech or metaphor for something else. A->B != B->A
Jefferson said, in essence, "the people put great value in separating religion and government." He used a metaphor to do so, saying that the inclusion of the amendment in the constitution built a wall between church and state.
Madison went further and said ""things are great for religion and government because of the total separation we've put between religion and government."
