"There is no gulf between Christianity and Americanism and no response to a p******c can define either concept. Being a Christian nation is not about going to church or emulating Christ. It is about gut level social reflexes and intuitive decision-making and in that, Christianity and Americanism are inseparable... for now." -JW

Well put, JW
You do not have to be a Christian to be an American; but Christianity and America can't be, and will not be separated.

So hard to believe that we have so many l*****t t*****rs in our country today.

Seth

Most of them are clueless fools who have no idea what they're trying to bring not only upon the rest of us, but themselves as well.

If they ever get their wish, they will be more miserable than most because on top of their lost liberty, they will have to live with the fact that they were stupid enough to help make it happen.

Here we go again! It has been stated many times on this forum that we are a Christian nation. That is not a fact. The percentage of people professing to be Christians is down to 65% in the latest survey.
We were not founded as a Christian nation. If that were the case, then the First amendment to the Constitution wouldn't be there, and a state religion would have been established. Yes, we are currently a majority Christian nation, but only that. There is no state religion, which would have been the case if we were a confirmed Christian nation. The founders understood that there were too many sects with too many dissenting viewpoints (although professedly Christian) to allow a state religion to be established. In addition, they had just escaped the Anglican theocracy in England, with all the attendant flaws and repressions for those that did not agree with it.
As for Christian principles founding this nation, that is not particularly true either. The basic premises of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are universal among all religions, and most political administrations are founded on these basic social principles, regardless of their predominant religion.
Not k*****g, not stealing, not bonking your neighbor's wife, not lying are universal to all religions and governments. It's a basic social contract without which no society can exist. Many (if not most) of the founders were deists, not Christians, which accounts for the non-mention of Jesus Christ anywhere in either the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution. Thomas Jefferson even tried to rewrite the Bible to fit his views of the Almighty.
If you choose to believe that we are a "Christian" nation, you discount Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs, and a host of other denominations from being a part of our society. If this is what you intended, then I feel sorry for you and the tolerance for others that your religion professes to believe in is not present.

You have no basis for that statement.

Oh they will be opened, make no mistake about that.

Good for you and your Christian communities for helping but you missed the whole point, as do many “Christians” who refuse to wear a mask. An atheist would not suggest “do unto others “
Im not Christian or an atheist but i am a lover of peace and good will towards others. Unlike the i***t at the Michigan capital when asked why he wasnt wearing a mask, as 98% of the other i***ts in the protest, his very intelligent answer was “Im Christian, i dont need to” WOW!! Since probably about 90% of Americans are Christians who are all those c***d cases in hospitals or the 130,000. dead ones? By the way, its a free country last i looked, so even an atheist can be intelligent, caring, and a good patriot who cares about his fellow man and his nation. Those are things that have nothing to do with religion.

Who was this directed to.?

In fact, quite the opposite.

They went out and YELLED in some cases.

Science-schmience they say.

Yes, sad

And very un-Christ-like

federally indicted mattoid

You are just plain wrong about wearing a mask.

Sorry, try again.

Oh, and thanks for mentioning Afghanistan. Drumph should be protecting EVERY AMERICAN SOLDIER. Not Putin

Big Kahuna

Our demonic demorat mayors and governors refuse to protect their own citizens and you want to rag on Trump?? In fact the stupified demorat politicians want to defund the police to add to the unprotected citizens of their cities and states a greater measure of criminality foisted upon them by the demorat reprobates.

Carol Kelly

Yes, no matter what the GREAT OBAMA said, we are a CHRISTIAN nation, always have been, always will be, in spite of Peter and his ilk.

gaconservative74

That’s classic Pete. You deny God but say that Jesus was a great prophet? If He is not God as He said he was, then you are calling a liar and a fraud great. Is that how you see it, because that’s what you’re saying. But that would also be prophesied by Paul. The “wise” would become foolish and call good bad and bad good.

John Meoff

I just turned 76 and have never witnessed anything like this; even in the 60s

A lot can be attributed on our L*****t "educators"

Carl Marx knew what he was doing.
