"However I don't think this will change the minds of Christian haters here on FR or in the US population."
Christian haters? It really amazes me how strong the "You are either for me or against me" mentality is. I am in no way a "Christian hater", but as I don't want any religion mandated by law, so I guess I would be included in that group.
If the Founding Fathers really wanted to set up a Christian Country governed by the Christian Bible, why was it not included in our Constitution?
John Adams, of Massachusetts, Noah Webster of Connecticut, James Wilson, born in Scotland and later of Pennsylvania and John Jay of New York, would be expected to favor a limited Theocracy. The colonies in New England were founded by religious fundamentalists, and that tradition remained strong.
Remember however, that there was more to the Thirteen Colonies than just New England. Virginians were instrumental in the creation of the Bill of Rights, and the Freedom of (or from) religion was and is an important part of that addition.
I resent having it said that BECAUSE I believe in the word of God,I would eliminate the Constitution and set up a State religion (mine)
I happen to be a lover of our Nation and it's freedom .I believe in freedom to worship where and when you will. But I also believe that the founders meant for free political and religious speech to be the guardian of the other freedoms.
I resent being called a "talibornagain" you better believe it!
