An Extremely Brief and Absolutely Condensed History of the Establishment Clause

Throughout the history of the US, the US Supreme Court has interpreted the Establishment Clause in three different ways. Initially it was interpreted as strictly not establishing and religion – unless it was certain branches of Protestantism. This of course totally violates what is colloquially known as separation of church and state. Catholic schools were founded because those parents did not want their children learning Protestant teachings. Beginning in 1971 and after, SCOTUS began to interpret the Establishment Clause through a three part test whose major part was excessive entanglement, including if a law had a secular purpose. In reality, it lead to decisions based, I think, on bookkeeping. Since the presidency of George H. W. Bush, all three branches of government have decided the test is endorsement, meaning that as long as a government entity does not favor one religion over the other, it is constitutional. This of course is impossible - there are an endless number of religions. Hopefully, SCOTUS will eventually get it right.

October 17, 539 BCE – Cyrus the Great marches into Babylon and adds it to the Achaemenid Empire that he founded. Cyrus the Great is famous for releasing the Jews from almost 70 years of exile in Babylon caused by the destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar II (Nabucco in Verdi’s opera), with a commission to rebuild the Temple. The Achaemenid Empire was at its time the largest empire the world had ever seen. At its zenith, it included the Near East, most of Southwest Asia, much of Central Asia and the Caucasus, and had about 50 million residents. Cyrus's conquests began a new era in the age of empire building, where a vast superstate, comprising many dozens of countries, races, religions, and languages, was ruled under a single administration headed by a central government that allowed people to continue to worship their own gods and retain their culture. Cyrus is the only Gentile in the Jewish Tanakh (the Christian Old Testament), in the Books of Ezra and Isaiah, called Moshiach, meaning savior or messiah. He is addressed as “…the one to whom "the LORD, the God of Heaven" has given…all the Kingdoms of the earth.” Xenophon wrote “those who were subject to him, he treated with esteem and regard, as if they were his own children,,,What other man but 'Cyrus', after having overturned an empire, ever died with the title of "The Father" from the people whom he had brought under his power? For it is plain fact that this is a name for one that bestows, rather than for one that takes away.” His own people, the Iranians, still refer to him as the Father. The famous Cyrus cylinder, which has sometimes (exaggeratedly) been called the oldest declaration of human rights describes how Cyrus had improved the lives of the citizens of Babylonia, repatriated displaced peoples and restored temples and cult sanctuaries. The Cyrus cylinder is owned by the British Museum; I had the honor of seeing it when it was on loan to the Metropolitan Museum of Art

You should be much more worried about enterovirus than Ebola. From mid-August to October 10, 2014, CDC or state public health laboratories have confirmed a total of 691 people in 46 states and the District of Columbia with respiratory illness caused by EV-D68. EV-D68 has been detected in specimens from five patients who died and had samples submitted for testing. CDC is reporting test results to state health departments as we obtain them. http://www.cdc.gov/non-polio-enterovirus/outbreaks/EV-D68-outbreaks.html
