OMG! This only proves how hilarious a serious debate can be reduced to an absurdity when an obelisk built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Washington’s birth is offered as counter-proof to the extensive and established body of historical scholarship that our nation was founded on “Christian” principles- not Hindu, not Buddhist, not Atheist, and the ONLY limitations were that there not be a government-preferred national religion and that no religious test be offered for government office.

Have you ever heard of the National Cathedral??????????????????????????????????

This is what happens when those without an in-depth education use the internet to pluck a quotation from her and there, throw in a random quote from Jefferson, and pretend to engage in serious debate in the apparently breathtaking ignorance that President, Jefferson attended Christian religious services in the halls of Congress to say nothing of the religious affiliations, writings, conduct, and declarations of the rest of the signers of the founding documents. What the US Supreme Court has called the “organic mass” of evidence that establishes that this nation is a “Christian” nation.

This is why it should come as no surprise why even to this day many have advocated that immigration to the US should be confined only to those beliefs comport to the great Christian religious heritage of this nation.

>>belisk built to commemorate the 100th
>>anniversary of Washington’s birth

On early maps depicting the Washington Monument it’s called the Masonic Compass.

I’ll leave it to your “serious scholarship” to see that for yourself.

>>Have you ever heard of the National Cathedral??

Ever been in it? I have.

Who knew syncretism could be an art-form? - at the National Cathedral, it is.

You’re as dillusional as the young earthers if you think that cathedral is “Christian”.

[Jefferson attended Christian religious services in the halls of Congress]
 
William Jefferson Clinton attended religious services in the National Cathedral too - but that doesn't make either one of them Christian.
 
Similarly, I've attended Wiccan services (a wedding) in the countryside... but that doesn't mean I practice their faith...
 
 
 
 
And speaking of the National Cathedral - it has no more to do with Christianity than children collecting Babylonian Ishtar Eggs on its lawn during spring solstice (Easter / Ishtar / Isis / Mary / Gaia)
 
 
Statuesque

Typical Idol worship; Typical of the Roman Empire's syncretist Un-Holy vestigial religious remains.

 
WoW!

Shock and Awe - moon rock in a stained glass window in the National Cathedral
 
 
What ya gonna do next your holiness - make the sun go dark during a total eclipse?  
 
 
 
 
 
Zap em wit the siren man; Zap em wit the siren - they love that;... but watch out, those @#$%# monkeys bite I tell ya!
