Example #5 of America's Christian Heritage
Before going ashore, the Mayflower Compact was drafted and signed by the 41 adult males on the ship and read in part as follows, “In the name of God, Amen . . . . having undertaken for the Glory of God and advancement of the Christian Faith, and Honour of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the First Colony in the Northern Parts of Virginia; do by these presents solemnly and mutually in the presence of God and one another, Covenant and Combine ourselves together into a Civil Body Politic . . . .”

The Christian Life and Character - The American Vision It is time for Christians to grasp the vision of civil government under God which motivated the great majority of our early American citizens and statesmen. ‘christian-life’
References to God on record of written history Saint Ding have nothing to do with thr Cross of Christ having any meaningful influence on motivations to go war against the King’s military in 1776 for 80 percent of the men who fought it.
You are seduced by white Christian nationalists propaganda when you crest a great majority of our early American citizens bring Christian when the only available studies and research our the share of the Christian population in 1776 at 17%

Example #6 of America's Christian Heritage
“On the 22nd of December, 1620, the Puritans, 101 in number, landed from the Mayflower, and planted their feet on the Rock of Plymouth, and began a new era in the history of the world. . . . The 1st act of the Puritans, after landing, was to kneel down and offer their thanksgiving to God, and by a solemn act of prayer, and in the name and for the sake of Christ, to take possession of the continent. They thus repeated the Christian consecration which Columbus, more than a century before, had given to the New World, and so twice in the most formal and solemn manner was it devoted to Christ and Christian civilization.”

William Bradford who became the governor of Plymouth in 1621wrote in his eyewitness account of the colony, Of Plymouth Plantation, that the colonists “cherished a great hope and inward zeal of laying good foundations, or at least of making some way towards it, for the propagation and advance of the gospel of the kingdom of Christ in the remote parts of the world”

Under the Catholic God’s plan was it to have the Protestant God’s Chosen people invade and settle the promised new land, drive the original inhabitants away from the coast, gain a foothold to make it safe for the Catholic God’s chosen people to arrive following behind the Protestant chosen people westward, driving the natives west, killing those who resisted the Cross of Christ’s advance. Was it both God’s who wanted their chosen white people
to force the natives onto reservations to suffer poverty disease and starvation so the Christians could build las Vegas. Was it all part of God’s plan?

The Massachusetts Constitution of 1780 states the following qualifications for holding the office of governor, “no person shall be eligible for this office, unless . . . he shall declare himself to be of the Christian religion.” The following oath was also required, “I do declare, that I believe the Christian religion, and have firm persuasion of its truth.”

So instead of any trace of the American mainland, Columbus "discovered" an island with "people" already living there. Then he "discovered" some more prepopulated islands.. Wowza. Foundering Christian heritage, baby!
This engraving depicts Columbus’s first landing in the New World, on the island he called San Salvador, on October 12, 1492. Columbus is surrounded by his men on the beach. Discussing the landing in his journal, Columbus wrote that he "leaped on shore, and . . . took, possession of the said island for the King and for the Queen."[1] In the engraving, he holds a sword in one hand and the royal banner of Aragon and Castile in the other, declaring the discovery for Spain. To the side, Native Americans watch the Europeans from behind a tree. In his journal, Columbus recorded that they "asked us if we had come from heaven" and called them "the best people in the world, and the gentlest."[2] He also, however, made note of his plan to "with force . . . subjugate the whole island."[3]

New Haven’s original plantation covenant (1638). “After a day of fasting and prayer, they rested their first frame of Government on a simple plantation covenant, that ‘all of them would be ordered by the rules which the Scriptures held forth to them.”

No. Its just a matter of fact. You accusing me of hatred is extremely odoriferous especially when I am just shedding light on what you openly do. Your inability to admit that what you do at mass is idolatrous and what you profess to believe is a lie is evidence of you being abandoned by God.
No, the reality is that I find it very strange to have to point out to an adult that God was not wearing diapers on Christmas. It doesn't make me feel good. It makes me want to point out to others how true scripture really is and how real divine condemnation is for defying Gods law.
Why do you avoid taking a stand on the truth that if scripture is true, your idolatrous worship of a lifeless matzo made by human hands is a violation of divine law under penalty of death, a curse that you so perfectly display? Why are you oblivious that you have died and descended into hell?
You accusing me of hatred, subverting christianity or being a secular Jesus is really just pathetic.
You feel sorry for me? Thats a laugh. I certainly don't feel sorry for you. You have made evil a deliberate choice but only if your own Holy book is true, Jesus is the messiah, and God is God.
Thats not me condemning you, its your own words and deeds that condemn you. Your own shame and faithless denial of what anyone who peeks inside a church on Sunday can see believers do with their own eyes and hear with their own ears the priest say "This bread will become for 'us' the body of Christ" after which the entire congregations gets down on their knees in an orgy of sin, young and old, men with men, women with women, entire families flipping off God by defying his law and openly desecrating the teachings of Jesus by eating a freaking lifeless matzo made by human hands for spiritual life. You might as well eat the bible whole, with a little salt, in a ritual to learn about the words written to receive eternal life...Damn.
How stupid is that!
Seriously, WTF.

From the Delaware constitution: “Every person who shall be chosen a member of either house, or appointed to any office or place of trust . . . shall . . . also make and subscribe the following declaration, to wit” ‘I do profess faith in God the Father, and in Jesus Christ His only Son, and in the Holy Ghost, one God, blessed for evermore; and I do acknowledge the holy scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be given by divine inspiration.”

Give it up Ding. Even if that was true, and its not, that was then. This is now. Deal with it. I could point out numerous examples of Native American heritage influencing the same founding fathers
What then?
You 'believers' have absolutely no basis in either scripture or reality to support your false claim to moral authority to legislate laws and customs, dictate right and wrong, or how others should live.
This is irrefutable. The music is over and you have no place, no authority, no chair to sit on......

In the “Fundamental Constitution for the Province of East New Jersey”, drafted in 1683, religious liberty was upheld, and every civil magistrate was required to affirm this by law and swear a binding to Jesus Christ. Following this requirement we read: ‘Nor by this article is it intended that any under the notion of liberty shall allow themselves to avow atheism, irreligiousness, or to practice cursing, swearing, drunkenness, profaneness, whoring, adultery, murdering, or any kind of violence."

Example #14 of America's Christian Heritage
James Oglethorpe who was a member of the British Parliament and had a long history of benevolent works and Christian character obtained a charter from King George II to establish a colony in North America. He desired to see those who had been imprisoned for debt and thus suffering in jails and Protestant Christians who were persecuted throughout Europe placed in an independent condition, and projected a colony in America for that purpose. In addition he desired to see the gospel preached to the Indians so that they could be Christianized and converted. This endeavor was promoted by the “Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts” and supported by a contribution of 10,000 pounds from the British Parliament. In January 1732, Oglethorpe, with 120 emigrants, landed in America, and on the basis of the Christian religion laid the future commonwealth of Georgia.

Under the leadership of Oglethorpe Georgia had an anti-slavery policy. He said, “Slavery, the misfortune, if not the dishonor, of other plantations, is absolutely proscribed [outlawed, forbidden]. Let avarice defend it as it will . . .. The name of slavery is here unheard, and every inhabitant is free from unchosen masters and oppression . . . . Slavery is against the gospel . . . . We refused, as trustees, to make a law permitting such a horrid crime.”
