They “understood“ it so well that they authored the worlds most important, post powerful document using “christianity” as the centerpiece to it all?No, I see our founders as religious men who understood that it would be a bad thing to have a national religion. They knew it would be bad to make this a christian nation.
They were wise.
You and Mashmouth are not...
Whose beliefs and values are mocked by those appointed to walk those halls.It is a foundational set of beliefs that are exclusively Judeo-Christian.
How are individual rights compromised in Christian schools, in Christian communities?No, it's true. The concept of individual rights is near and dear to my heart. Stupid people usually get it wrong. Not only are you stupid, but you're a jackass. So what's the point?

The values expressed are found in most civilizations past and present.

You can’t explain how their “RIGHTS” are compromised in Christian based schools and communities?Ask Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and the variety of pagan faiths.

Which Christian community, city or state is “bad“ for America?

It's theists who don't understand that if you're against same sex marriage... then don't marry someone from the same sex. Nowhere does it say that religious rights come before any other right. Freedom of religion gives you the right to practise any religion you want to practise, but it doesn't give you the right to impose your views on others.You people might remember my excellent thread calling for the US to become a Christian Nation It’s Time to Formally Declare America A Christian Nation. In it, I made the airtight case that separation of church and state is impossible, has never happened, and cannot ever happen, and should be amended out of the Constitution. Let's face it. The framers made a mistake, just like they did in calling blacks 3/5 human.
Separation of Church and state is possible with most laws: No littering, no running a red light, etc. But there are some laws, the most important ones, where separation is impossible without creating an atheist state. In order to have actual separation of church and state, you have to have laws which the Catholic Church and other Christians can't follow in good conscience. In other words, atheist laws. Therefore abortion and gay marriage cannot be reconciled with separation of church and state without creating an atheist state. Leftist atheists say the current reversal of Roe v Wade violates separation of church and state because it pushes religious values. I say allowing abortion makes the state tantamount to an atheist state.
I would also add the Supreme Court declared atheism a religion in 1961, so why are we favoring the religion of atheism over the Christian religions? Again, separation of church and state is impossible, so let's scrap it and done with it.
I challenge anyone in the forum who claim to want separation of church and state (probably most people) tp reconcile the issues of abortion and gay marriage with the First Amendment without promoting the religion of atheism. I guarantee no one will be able to do it.

I have no idea what a Christian based community is. Where are these and how do they operate?
You are welcomed to believe what you wish, and you are welcomed to petition politically for what you believe. Never let anyone tell you that you should not because of separation of church and state nor should you get lectured by Reverend Warnock on how God smiles on abortion.I believe in no direct abortion. The only thing that is acceptable is the rare case in which the child dies incidentally while operating to save the mother's life.
Not being a Christian or a Catholic is a violation of Christian and Catholic teachings. So therefore your new gubbermint should beat people over their heads until they become some sort of Christian, n'est-ce pas?Violating the teachings of most Christians and all Catholics violates separation of church and state, because it favors atheism.
You don't understand Mashmont's version of Christianity. If you refuse to bow down before Mashmont and let him lord over and dominate you, well, you're violating his religious rights, QED.It's theists who don't understand that if you're against same sex marriage... then don't marry someone from the same sex.

Don't like abortion? Don't have one, but leave the rest of the people the fuck alone. Pretty simple concept really.
Keep your atheism out of my government and you won't have a problem with me. Otherwise, you can guarantee you will. Is that in any way unclear?
So...tell atheists they don't have to look at murals of the Ten Commandments in the town center. You agree?
People who attend a church have every right to participate in how government functions every bit as much as the religion of Atheism. Deal with itPlenty of Christians and Christian churches support abortion rights. The Democrat in the Georgia Senate race soon to be put to a runoff is a Baptist preacher who supports abortion rights.
Plenty of Christians and Christian churches support same-sex marriage. Gay couples are married in such churches. My mother in law is leaving the Episcopal Church I believe due to its acceptance of same-sex married pastors.
If government sticks with its legitimate function, which is to preserve rights, no joining of church and state is ever needed.
If you want government to be part of the church and vice versa, my question is which church? Declining to select a church, i.e. establish a religion, does not equal an atheist state.
The purpose of the constitution is to limit the power of GOVERNMENT --nothing/no one elseThere is no need for the 10 Commandments to be on the town square, unless other faiths are allowed to put displays there. After all, Christians don't have to at those either.
