Ping!
That you aren't a Christian does mean something (more on this below) but it doesn't mean that you aren't living in a Chritian Nation. The Bible was one of 3 books approved as teaching texts in our Founding public schools, as outlined by America's first de facto Secretary of Education, Thomas Jefferson.
Oh, and as concerns what your not being a Christian does mean... bring the barbecue sauce. It'll come in handy where you're going. LMAO.
"You have been measured and found wanting."
"God has numbered your days, and brought them to an end."
"You will be given over to the Medes, and the Persians."
(You know, the guys who wear turbans and behead you for not being a good Muslim?)
;-/
Mr Obama, Sotero or whatever his real name is.....will get 72 VIRGINIANS who will tar and feather his miserable Muslim butt.
In your #23, you say we are not a Christian nation and in your #30 you say we are a predominantly Christian nation.
You don’t see the contradiction?
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

I know; pathetic. Where the hell does he get off apologizing for a country that takes care of about 85% of the entire world? I’m pissed.
I saw your #58, and it does not explain which side of the road you’re on. You say we’re not a Christian nation and then you say we are.
You make no sense.

What he neglected to explain was the set of values are Judeo-Christain Values.
[I know it is not your title. Not directed to you in anyway. I have never been "Title Police" until now. It just seems a bit disingenuous to stop at Christan in the title]
I was willing to begrudgingly put up with the big 0 for the time we have to endure him, but now I’m going to call the creep out every time I have the opportunity.
I will ridicule him, and his ignorant followers, at every turn.
Madison said, the national government had no “jurisdiction” over religion or any “shadow of right to intermeddle” with it.
Your offhand swipe trying to infer that the acknowledgment of the Christian nature of this society somehow necessitates discrimination against non-Christians is a non-sequitur. It does not negate the fact that the prevailing culture in this country has been, and still is, Christian.
“I was willing to begrudgingly put up with the big 0 for the time we have to endure him,...”
I was never willing to to that, as he can do so much damage during “the time we have to endure him”. He’ll assure that there will never be another fair election in our future, and America as we’ve known it is over. Our only hope is God’s mercy, but I figure He’s fed up with us, too.
I understand your point. Wasn’t trying to mince words.
The point though, as you said, is that he fails to acknowlege the Christian values this country was founded on.
You are so lovingly welcome, whether you think it’s a good thing, or not.
