I am still waiting to see what you say then about the entire The Memorial and Remonstrance (June 20, 1785) and the reference to the "Holy Trinity" in the Paris treaty.
You still have not adressed those.
For all of your thoughts on my making up fictional points, adress the text.
As to the memorial and remonstrance, I see that its addressed to the commonwealth of virginia. I've not read the entire treaty of paris, just the small blurb you have posted. I'll get back to you on that.
My point is that while the documents for virginia state the tenants of 'christianity' the terms were not carried over to the national documents for the reasons that RWA stated. Again, I've not disagreed with you in that some of the founders were christians nor that some of the paragraphs may be referring to christianity, but that the founders, being of mixed religious backgrounds, purposefully left christianity out of nationalization for the express purpose of avoiding the very crux of our debate....that we are or are not a christian nation. It was recognized that religious fanaticism was the downfall of many societies and its one they wanted to avoid for this one.
P. S.
I'm glad to see you back here, truly.
