if I know.
What bearing does this have on the conversation?
Who wrote The Declaration of Independence?
And, once you find out who it was, did this person consider himself a christian?
Take your time.

Okay, I was wrong. But it is a major part that through the teachings of Jesus Christ I can live a better and moral life. Have I fallen off the path? More times than I can remember but my faith if very important to me and while some may ridicule me it doesn't change a thing.
I always tell myself to stay out of these "debates" I always find myself going back and forth with someone who thinks he knows all the answers such as yourself or B2B.
I admit that I don't know all the answers but I do know that I DO believe in n Jesus Christ as the Son of God, that there are three persons and one God: the Creator, the Redeemer and the Holy Spirit who is the Sanctifier.
I may not be the intellectual that you are or have access to all the books that you do. But I do know what I believe in.
That is all.
The Consitution does not, but laws being made or amended to allow a certain act whether or not it is in the Cons ution still proves that just until recently the modern American government had religous ideals in some of there laws, which goes back to my point that even this nation was brought up with religous notions in there laws.
Are you happy know that I've answered your question?
Stop avoiding me damnit!!
You know nothing of my teachings.
And how great and smart men were those we remember...
Sure, it does, which is contrary to what the founding fathers wanted. It's a product of ignorance and misconception. We are predominantly culturally christian. But we are humans, and we have flaws, which include bringing religion into politics.And to say that this government or nation does not have Christian roots embedded in it is just wrong.
John McCain has publicly stated "we are a christian nation"....when we are not. We are just a nation. Leave the religions at home and church, don't bring it to Congress.
Thomas Jefferson. But the Declartion of Independence is not the main point that I'm talking about here. It is that the American government from early on up until even now still has had religous roots in some of there laws. Simple as that.
He is far from an intellectual.
No...state laws do, but the cons ution has nothing to do with religion. Look it up. Check all the articles. All it says is we have freedom of religion.
Thank you.
Yea, quite.
Answer me now peewee!!!
Then how do you explain laws being set up for Gay marriage and abortion to be illegal? From religous ideals. Who makes the laws? The State and Federal Governemnt? Where did the government get the idea or law from? Religon.
Which leads to Religon transpiring or influencing laws in the government of this society.
Alright then.
I hate it when that happens...but it does.
Hi guys just stopping by to say while the rest of you are just babbling about stupid , Blake still somehow manages to stick out like a sore thumb as the dumbest mother er in this thread. Bye
PS- One ring, got!
I already did.
Thanks for saying I was right.
You cannot just take into account the Constiution. The Consitution is the supreme law of the land, but other laws and acts are passed and revised both locally and federally. It has been a national (federal) issue regarding two topics that root from religon. Otherwise we would not be hearing about it in Congress.
If you're not talking about the Declaration, why did you bring it up?
Were you talking about The Cons ution?
If you were, it also has nothing to do with religion.
There is a picture of their God on top of the stele that it was carved on.
And this is perfectly fine, to each his own. No one has the answers, otherwise none of these discussions would take place.
For you, like many others, religion and faith has been important in keeping you on the right path in terms of living a moral life. But what I can't urge enough is that not everyone needs faith to act and live morally. We don't all need religion to justify our actions. And, in the end, isn't this the goal? To have every member of our society, religious and non-religious, to comply and live and act morally as a community? As long as we all do, it doesn't matter if we are religious or not and how we justify it. Like Bill Maher likes to say, he considers not having faith a privilege. Please don't criticize or attack me for mention Maher, I know he's an asshole, but in the end, we don't all need religious justification or advice to act morally and as complying member of a community.
The first part of this post delivered.
Wait, wait, wait . . .
First you talk about the founding fathers and how they had relgion on their mind. Then, when it's explained to you that they didn't, you go on to talk about other laws and acts???
Make up your mind.
