That is a non-argument. The founders used the Bible to form the constitution. They used the Bible by the way they were raised. Mostly Christian, and those who were deists were raised by moral parents. Morality came about by implication of Jewish law even though other nations around the time of founding of Israel had laws governing everything thing contained in the Bible while missing some very important issues.

Our constitution contains all of the Christian principles. Not many other countries I know of do. Even King James when he authorized his translation of scripture made sure the king was dominate as the head and vicar of God on earth. The quotes of Peter and Paul have some scholarly concerns because of King James intervention. Subjects your researcher avoids for good reason.

That one's already been answered -- several pages back and Yes, YOU WERE WRONG then and still wrong now. Constitution is not foundational document. Came about more than 10 years AFTER the founding of the United States.

Worship of any God is not allowed at our public schools or town hall meetings involving government business. Every President has endorsed the separation of church and state, nothing you can say will change that fact!

The "gipper" would never agree!

You are trying to convince yourself that an empty mind is the path to nirvana. You will never make it, your mind is full of wrong ideas. You are obviously afraid of your future. Clinging to the slippery edge of disaster with no helping hands to save you . You only have to change your grip. take a hold of the truth for a change.

You are the one worshiping an a imaginary phallic symbol while kneeling with mouth wide open. Never to consider that he will never come!

That is your worry, that He will never come. When He does, you will be climbing into the rocks from fear. It is not too late, change your wicked ways.

Are you speaking of the Tooth Fairy or the Easter Bunny that will never come! Because I would rather have a dime than a egg!

What makes you think that He will never come? Is that what you are afraid of? That you will be left out of all good things? Well you probably will, you don't recognize truth when you hear it or see it.

That's what they said 2000 years ago, and lo and behold He came. And He will be back.

When has God spoken to you and when did you see him or her?

God's word is within your reach. He has through inspiration of Men put his desires and promises in writing. The things He has promised and the future He has revealed have all come to pass except the final ending. It would do you more good to read His word and the history of the world than to read the things you have been reading. Do not be afraid to let your intellect overcome your fear.

Geez, keep up. It had nothing to do with his positions. One is not a b______d if born to married parents. My objection was the adjective relative to "birth status". If one wants to call him a greedy, heartless, dollar worshiping pig, have at it. You know how persnickety I am about language and word usage.

Perhaps this is a teaching moment for AuntiE that will assist her being even more persnickety in the future:

Yes you have the power of choice, choose well or you will choose disaster. Is that your fear that you will not choose well, Then look to your influence. It may be leading you astray.

I can imagine that kind of blessing that comes from a degenerate. Probably more of a curse than a blessing.
