[Tfug] Another CC* weighs in....

Actually.... No. Most of America's founding fathers were Deists. Not Christians. They believed in the notion of God, but not Christianity. Infact, many of them weren't even ambivalent about Christianity. They flat out didn't like Christianity, as you can see:

So, please, PLEASE read up on history, and stop perpetuating the "Dehhh, This country was founded on Christian values by Christian people!" lie, because that's precisely what it is. I'm a Christian. I of course wish such a statement were true, but it isn't, and no amount of wishing, interpretation, or re-thinking will make it so, and you have a responsibility as a fellow Christian to quit spreading BS. 

Cheers,

Interestingly this country was founded on Christin values by Christian people. Our laws used to be derived from the Bible. I know they do not teach that in school any longer and history has been and is being rewritten. 

If it were not for those Christians we would not have the country we have with the Constitution and Bill of Rights. 

If you have followed what is going on in Texas you will know what I am saying is true about the rewriting of history.

I'm with Malclom. The nut jobs will need to suck it up, or at least 
take time to learn how to use email filters. 

A couple of quotes for you to chew on... 

It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate 
its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and 
will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to 
seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or 
driving underground all heretics. 
--Robert A. Heinlein 

Treat your religion like you would your genitalia. It's not polite 
to wave it around in public, or shove it down the throats of people.
