What should America's State Religion Be?

:confused:

Can you cite me a source for your comment. From what I've read, they did open each session with a prayer. Thanks.


Again, I've read lots of info on Washington and much of it was contradictory. One bio says that he made a 5 hour trip to church weekly. Please post any references that you have to the contrary. I find it curious and something that should be easily confirmed one way or the other. :confused:
 
I am going to say Quakerism, Franklin was a Quaker. I would say there was just not one sect involved unless you consider that the many of the founding fathers were Masons and Masons I do believe tend to be diests.
 
Turning the other cheek and clearly not turning the other cheek.


Slag off the UK if you want, I'm not a patriot. There's many things that need improving here.


Pathetic. That's a very low argument to sink to imo.

Without Europe, you wouldn't even exist, but I don't bring that up at every opportunity.

I'm also half German. That argument is not only low, but it doesn't even work on me.:rolleyes:

Care to explain which of the ten commandments most of our laws are based upon. I will give you killing and steeling, and possibly adultry. Where in the penal code does anyone go to jail for voilating #1 or #2? Even Jesus in matthew sugessted that #5 would not stand if your parents don't accept him.
 
Following that, Christ said, "Sin no more". You use the "human and imperfect" excuse to justify actions that you KNOW are wrong. If you are indeed a "man of faith", just who do you think you are fooling?

Selling absolutions is an old practice in the Catholic Church. How do you think they could afford so much property? :xgood:
 
...and VoR wins the missing the point award. There are a wide variety of Christian principles. I'm a Christian, what I consider Christian principles are different from what, for example Dubya considers Christian principles.
 
1) that post wasn't addressed to you
2) It would seem Jo doesn't believe in the Bible as if you think it is an "artifact" and not accurate then why would you?

If Jo is a Christian then follow the Bible...that is kinda the way it works.
 
Answer the question please: "So you admit he's NOT turning the other cheek, so is going directly against Jesus' command?"

As I said, without Europe America wouldn't exist. The past is the past and I don't expect the US to thank Europe for creating it, just like I don't expect to thank America for protecting Europe from threats. You personally have done nothing for European's to be grateful of, so you can't claim any high ground here.

You also avoiding answering whether all European politicians believed that Iraq had WMRAB.

I believe that a Protestant Christianity must take a part of the govenment as it was before the 60s,when the evils of secular humanism began destroying America.Pat Robertson and most religious leaders like John Hagee,Jame Dopson,Fred Phelps agree that America must to return to her Biblical stractures of law.
 
Then virtually no one is a Christian.

Do you stone those who work on Sundays? No.
Do you believe eating shellfish and pork is a sin? No.
Do you believe shaving one's beard is a sin? No.
Do you believe anyone who marries after divorce commits adultery? No.
Do you believe that women must remain silent, not teach, and have no authority over men? No.
Do you believe that slaves must obey their masters at all times? No.
Do you believe that non-virgins should be killed if they marry? No.

YOU LIE.
 
I abstained from voting because "secularism" is not a choice. I understand the question completely, as well as understanding why that is not one of the choices. I just cannot submitt to allowing any one "christain" demomination to come to power over any other. Personally, they all suck.

As far as JP's assertation that supposedly the US was founded on the "ten commandments" I beg to differ. In that just because the Ten Commandments have definite similarities to the "Universal Golden Rule" doesn't mean they were singled out as an outline for our Constitution.
As it is stated in the Treaty of Tripoli, our nation is infact a Secular nation, with no leaning toward any one religious set of values more than any other.

Our Founding fathers were deists, most of them were Free Masons, not to be confused with any specific Christian denomination. They made a point of not singling out any one religion over any other. This is evident in our freedom of religion.
The usage of the word "Creator" was not specific as to which religious view of this word was held as predominant.
Just because they may have used the word is no indicator as to their supposed "Christian" values.

Actually the word "God" does not appear anywhere in the body of the Constitution at all.

The word "Creator" is in the Bill of Rights.
