Does CNN realize we are a Christian nation?

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

In this country of ours, being a Christian is a good thing. In this country of ours, being a nationalist is a good thing.

Whoopie. That, and a dollar won't get you a cup of coffee anywhere in this country of ours.

Of course one refer to GW as a Christian, but not a theological Anglican or Baptist. He would walk in the parish garden during communion, we were told. He did go to church.

Deflection, deflection, deflection. You are no more moral than MagicMike. Just stop.

Yes you are deflecting!

The Constitution is secular, therefore our government is secular.

The cotus is a document and our government takes no stand on religion.

But you're missing the point. Nobody is saying people in the US have to be Christians, they are just saying because Christianity is our predominant religion, the US is a Christian nation. It doesnt have any implications beyond just recognizing that Christianity is our dominant religion. It's not saying that the US has adopted a religion, or that anyone in the US has to partake in religion, or that religion is required in any way. It's just a recognition that Christianity is the most prevalent religion in the US.

the founders adopted nation motto E pluribus enum aka out of many one.
It was 1956 that congress changed it to, in God we trust.

And we have reaffirmed that, with bi partisan support, over the years

The delegates assembled for the Articles of Confederation in November of the year of their Lord 1777 did so in part to please the "Great Governor of the World."

When assembled to constitute a new government in September of the year of their Lord 1787, the delegates provided for Sunday as a holy day in the Presentment Clause of the new constitution.

By no means dismissive of Christianity, the delegates of the assemblies were products of colonial schools of thought, which were Christianity, classical antiquity, Enlightenment rationalism, and English common law.

Controversies among Catholic, Protestant, and other Christian factions would not determine a national faith thanks to the First Amendment. Any other religion, such as from native populations or the negligible amount of Mohammedism imported from Africa played no part in the documents that the delegates drafted.

whut I say …~… Why is the Catholic doctrine that the sanctity of life begins at conception bing forced into our secular lives by white Republican Christian religious zealots?

I wouldn't say that is a catholic doctrine. I think its pretty universal in the Christian community as well. Probably some others.

But you dont need religion to make that argument. What happens at conception IS indeed life. The argument comes from how much importance each side places on that life. The right thinks that life is very important, the left doesnt think its important at all.

CNN has a right to be stupid but who do we see about Biden's FBI classifying Catholics as terrorists?

You agree with me.

Some are more endowed than others.

That’s what the girls like about me. It’s a god given gift of which I am proud.

whut I ask St.Nor/ norwegen Post #327 June 4, 2025 …~… Do you have authoritative information that backs your assertion in the referenced post that each delegate assembled to address the Articles of the Confederation was a born again believer that this Book was the only book ever written by the. “Great Governor of the World” …..

And do you believe that it was pleasureable to an Almighty Supreme Being
that the Rebellion of ‘76 was victorious over the 1400 years of Divine rule by all the Christian Kings and Queens of Europe?

And do you believe that it was pleasurable to an Almighty Supreme Being
that the Rebellion of ‘76 was victorious and now the religious conversion or righteous extermination of the native human beings in a westward push could begin?

 

[ThisIsMe]

You agree with me.

I agree that we are a nation who has the freedom of religion, or no religion, but we are still viewed as a Christian nation.

Not by knowledgable people, who view us as a secular nation of Christians.

I didn't assert that each delegate was a born-again believer now, did I.

And the Rebellion of '76? Are you referring to the war that started in '75?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

norwegan, there were at least one atheist, several deists and universalist, many weak Christians, and two neo-evangelicals.

It was not a conference of Christians.

 

[whutTHEYsay]

whut I say Post #340 June 05, 2025 …~… There is no assertion by “norwegan” in Post #327 June 4, 2025 that each delegate was a born-again believer for sure.

St.Nor/‘s motive for posting common white Republican Christian conservative propaganda tidbits such as this is to assert that because “in part” some unknown number of delegates who believed religiously that the faith based belief that the HOLY BIBLE is the only source for the nation and its people to be worthy in the eyes of the ONLY ONE TRUE GOD; it is therefore an indisputable fact that America was founded to be a Christian Nation.

Once a War God / Always a War God.

whut I say Post #340 June 05, 2025 …~… St.Nor/ has convinced himself that Yahweh needed to be thanked by the founding generation for delivering victory in war over the British Empire ~ one the most powerful armies and Navy in the world at that time.

What “norwegan” in Post #327 is claiming to know is that there is an Almighty Author of the Holy Bible !!!YAHWEH!!! who was needful to be pleased by the thankful actions of the Articles of the Confederation writers.

Yahweh turned on HIS own anointed British monarchy who had banned the expansion west into French and Indian Territory just west of the Appalachian Mountains in 1763.

The American Revolution for all intents and purposes began to brew in 1763 when the King of England tried to ban the expansion west into Indian and French Catholic Territory.

It officially began On July 4th 1776 with the declaration of independence under the Banner of “Nature’s God”

whut I say Post #340 June 05, 2025 …~… We are nation at present where liberal Christians and non-Christian and persons believing in every other philosophy and religion in the world outnumber the potential forty million white conservative Christians who voted Republican in the last presidential election. We are not a Christian Nation in the fundamental sense that we are not of one mind or under unanimous consent that white Republican conservative Christian nationalist voters are more valuable in the eyes of God to the success and well being of the nation than those they consider to be lost and unsaved souls. Sinners ALL.

Those under that illusion should not be rewarded by calling the United States of America, a Christian Nation, entitled to them, in any sense of the phrase.
