Maybe I wouldn't respond to this without a 6-pack within... but... Well...
it's not worth a response, even with a 6-pack... :-/
This country was founded by Christians.
Founded? Stolen, more like. Yo, dude... head up north -- I'm guessing about
350 miles -- and meet some of the folks that this country was stolen *from*.
And yes, I am of both German and "American Indian/Aboriginal
North-American/folks that were here 40Kyears before the rest of y'all" [[
however you wanna put it...]] so I've learned to walk a mile in someone
else's moccasins...
-- Granted, they're frelling up their own nation[s] quite well, but I must
say that they had *good* teachers... :-/
They may have had some odd customs, and they may
have made some things
"law" that were really tradition, but thats no reason to reject
everything "religious", such as the principles that this nation was founded on.
You mean, citing war on others despite (or because of) the #1 commandment
of most [all?] Christian faiths: "Thou shalt not kill." Despite 2000 years
of trying, Christianity (in all it's flavors) is still not the dominant
faith of this planet... Any chance there's a reason for that?
So much for the witch trials... back to the Crusades!!!

[1] Erm, yea... Born and raised... but at least I know that "North of the
Mackinac[2] Bridge" ain't Canada... Honestly, I'm not saying that you think
that, but I met *many* folks born & raised in the lower half of Michigan
that didn't know better, and tried telling me such... :-/
[2] And no... Eudora doesn't know the correct spelling for Mackinac, either...
