Where do our "inalienable rights" come from?
How come all fifty states' preambles mention God?
Article. VII, US Constitution:
"Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven"
Our National Anthem includes these words:
Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner forever shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. Weve staked the future of all our political institutions upon our capacity to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God. [1778 to the General Assembly of the State of Virginia]
James Madison
Woah...cowgirl! Stow the we and use the me. There are a hell of as lot of people that would like to toss your dumb christian asses on a boat and send ya packing back to wherever your stupid christianity came from. Lets clear some more land in the mid east and let you whahoouus set up shop right next to where Jesus walked. I am soooo tired of you christian assholes thinking you can run MY country.
Anno Domini - Latin for The Year Of Our Lord
excellent! so the literal translation of "1787 AD" is "in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven" - the EXACT phrase used to date the constitution. It has nothing to do with religion, just dating terms.

Afraid? How did you draw that conclusion? Everything I believe one way or another does follow me like a shadow - what does that have to do with religion? You think you can't believe anything without religion? That's kinda sad if you do.You are really afraid of religion, huh? Religion has influenced every one of us in our lives, even you. Everything you believe one way or the other follows you like a shadow STH. Every determination, based on what you think you know.
Let's just put aside the fact that the phrase is simply referring to the formal date, and assume for the sake of argument that it was meant as a religious reference. Whose Lord are you referencing when you say "Our Lord"? You mean the Muslim god? Perhaps you mean the Lord of the castle in New New Jersey? Tell me, which word or phrase in that simple reference of the DATE infers Christianity to you?Our Lord has nothing to do with religion? You are not smarter than a hick, you are dumber than a rock!

Oh that's the truth, is it? After we've laid down all the facts which suggest otherwise and you've responded by using lies from religious zealots in a desperate attempt to support yourself, I'm still wrong, eh? Well, by all means, point to these devout religious forefathers. Name me a few. Then tell me what proportion believed religion had a place in national government.The truth however is that our forefathers were mostly devout religious men and you are truly a dumbass if you think that their respected religions had no influence on how this country was formed.
What?!Anything You believe not based on fact is of Religion.

Let me get this straight: anything I believe that isn't fact is religion? So, if I say I like the color blue, that's religious? What if I say something like "I think it's a nice day out"? That's religious too? How about: conservative religious nutjobs sound less intelligent than the rest of the world. Where is the religion in any of these non-fact-based beliefs?

Lonestar_Logic and Intense are not cognitively competent.
That is the only way to explain their answers.
No, I am wrong. My friend points out that Tolkien is writing theology so is Lucas in Star Wars.

You are wrong, yet consistent. That has got to count for something.
It's really easy for some to trash organized Religion, History, and demand Proof. What You don't get is that Many of Your Assumptions are based also on things that You do Believe, yet cannot Prove Yourselves. You consistently make Claims that You cannot Support.
You attack something You cannot begin to Understand, Christianity. It is You that are unprepared.

You have not supported a claim that the Founders wanted organized religion in government. Not one piece of evidence, period! Almost every Founder with the exception of Paine and Allen were religious, Christians and deists. Almost every last one of them, with the exception of Patrick Henry, did not want an established national religion.
What don't you understand?
Christian Dominationism is not of the theology of Jesus Christ, it is of man, and you are being led down a dark, windy road. I counsel you that you read and follow Proverbs 24:7.

I do not support the claim that Our Founders wanted Organized Religion In Government! Wake the Fuck Up! What is wrong with your reading skills Jake?

Son, if you think I am attacking Christianity, you are stone-cold stoned. If you, Intense, think this is a Christian Nation, then you are nuts. And if you are just chattering to hear those great big incisors clicking and clacking on one another, then go gather some nuts.
Note how you say religious is based on belief, and then go on to contrast the "likes" I stated in a manner of belief!? You even used the same root word to describe it. You're hysterical! And then you end with "how would you prove that"? How do you prove RELIGION? You can't!Religion is bases on Belief, not likes. If You believed blue was a nice color, if you believed the day was nice, how would you Prove that.
So let's recap the stupidity you've brought to this thread:Intense said:I believe that You are an Anti-God Religious Nut Job. Your Religion is the State, or the Total Bullshit that so easily passes as reason for You. Your Religion Persecutes Others for Believing in Almighty God. Your Religion seeks to harm those You do not understand, rather than Study deeper. It's in your MO. Your pattern is sloppy, and full of holes.
Intense, I thought you should reread that.You have not supported a claim that the Founders wanted organized religion in government. Not one piece of evidence, period!
Hi there. Welcome to The Thread. This thread is debating whether or not the nation (with respect to its government) is Christian or not. You JUST admitted, after pages of trying to show how religious the founding fathers really are, that they did not want organized religion in the government they were founding. Congratulations, you just agreed to our side of the argument.I do not support the claim that Our Founders wanted Organized Religion In Government!
viagra opens blood vessels - it doesn't cut them off. It's like... you have an unnatural talent to just spew forth all the concepts you don't understand, and consistently come out with the wrong answer. You'd think blind luck would have gotten you at least one right answer by now...Jake, Son, I think the Viagra is cutting off circulation to your brain.
