So the founding fathers believed that they would rise to heaven and become gods? So the founding fathers were instructed by the goddess Minerva? The revolution was funded with help from Mercury? Vulcan produced the cannons? And you are complaining about modern 'cultural paganism?' Try looking at your own example.

No. I guess I was wrong about that painting. I am not ashamed fo being wrong sometimes. This doesn't negate the foundations of our culture which you won't address. If our culture and foundations wasn't based on Christianity, then what is it based upon? Where did they get their principles for the constitution?

The greeks and romans play a part of our political foundation, but the principles of our culture are based on Christianity, and it is incorprated into the words of our documents. Its hard for me to believe that you think Christianity plays no part in our foundation.

Do you think we should recognize homosexual marriage as equal to heterosexual marriage? Do you think we should normalize it as a healthy behavior? What do you base your beliefs on?

How do you know you are wrong?

The writings of Locke and Montesquieu are usually credited with inspiring much of the Constitution and the D. of I.

We were discussing the foundations of the nation, not the culture. I have challenged you several times to prove that this nation is founded on 'Judeo-Christianity' and so far you have provided me with proof that it is based on Roman mythology.
