Let the witch trials begin! Re: OT: Re: Going OT Re: (no s ubject)

This country was founded by Christians. 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. America was *NOT* founded by Christians. I'm very tired of hearing that drumbeat. The founding fathers, if anything, were DEISTs, and/or ceremonialisyts, and well knew the inherent dangers of including or even nodding to support any one religion over another in this country and its government - something our modern-day right-wing Christian brothers and sisters either don't know or won't learn. A state religion here would indeed be as dangerous to US national growth and development as is has proven all over the middle east. Remember: prior to 1979, Iran didn't have either a "state religion," or a theocracy. Now it does. Was there an improvement? Cheers...
